Week 75

Hola a todos, I didn't know what to title this email, therefore fill in the blank with the amount of weeks out or a random number. However you feel.

This week has been a busy week, starting with some temporary exchanges, transfers, service, and lessons. 

Tuesday we received a message from our branch president about someone that he would like us to meet. Welk at the time I was on an exchange due to my companion having a farewell dinner with the Mission President before he leaves for Chile. So here I am responding back in the Spanish I know "we would love to help" but in Spanish of course. Then drove over to the church building(I don’t do a lot of city type driving) and met the one President Lopez wanted us to which means we set up a visit as well. 

Then we get on to our other days of the week, it was the normal go to lessons and teaching others how to come closer unto Jesus Christ. As well as calling multiple people to set up future appointments. There was one day it was back to back answers appointments everywhere, but unfortunately some have canceled and some have rescheduled. Key word is that they were rescheduled. 

That is the highlights of the week and I want to know share about my studies. As I studied the Restoration proclamation (the one given to us by President Nelson) it brought to remembrance simple truths I have been taught, and it connects all points of the gospel so beautifully. I also made this connection with the first three lessons of the go preach my gospel. We have the restoration so we can learn more clearly the plan our loving Heavenly Father has laid out for us. And then we have the Gospel of Jesus Christ so we may know the path we need to take to return to Him. The conference talks from April 1971 had a recurring theme that I had noticed, which was how important it is to stay on the straight and narrow path, that there will be hard times but as we stay with it blessings will come in all aspects of our lives. I also read some Ensign articles that were in the institute manual and it takes about the Philosophy of Korihor and how we can counteract it. And it is as simple as reading the Book or Mormon and following our church leaders, The gospel is true and has stood the test of centuries, but the philosophy of an Anti-Christ is full of errors and contradictions. It is interesting to study deep into the scriptures and the words of the Apostles. 

There is the week for y’all, I hope you have been enlightened and are having a great time in the weather!!

Love Elder Cormack
