Glacier National Park

This week was busy. And I get to email you today since yesterday was Presidents Day! 

I lost my USB with ALL of my pictures on them, so besides the iPad pics you'll have to wait for the others, until I find my usb..hopefully soon. 

We had MLT (Mission Leadership Training -- our zone and the Missoula zone) and MLC (Mission Leadership Council) this week so we did lots of driving and sat in lots of meetings. They were both great. We talked aobut work and just doing it. I loved Sister Mecham's discussion on how work is an eternal principle, the atonement was work and that is eternal. the work will never really end. She also talked about 7 B's that can be related to everyone BE converted, a self starter, united, obedient, a producer, and joyful. It was hard to focus on all of what was talked about because we were given the assignment to prepare something for the other half of this training for our zone only a couple days in advanced. But with prayer and inspiration we were able to come up with some good ideas.

One idea was having the members in our zone read their patriarchal blessings. When we did that there was a distinct different Spirit in the room as to when they first entered the room. It reminded me of the reality and power of patriarchal blessings. We then talked about eternal perspectives and the promises we have been given and the little things we do now, are super important because "decisions determine destiny" It was a powerful discussion. 

I was pretty tired from driving and the meeting the day before so i was really tired at MLC, but it was good. It will be weird when President Mecham leaves.(not that i am worried about getting another mission president)  He has done so much for this mission he is making sure things continue to move upwards. 

Glacier National Park, SO beautiful!

 the water is so clear and blue! 

i love the rockies!

We drove through Missoula and had dinner and such. We had some time so I wanted to visit the Yorgason family. too bad they werent there!! what a bummer, just the two younger boys it was good to see them though. maybe next time. 

It was also interesting this past week, we were at the hospital giving this lady a blessing and we run into Tammy from Missoula! turns out she is having a rough time and wants to meet with us again. We met with her a couple days later and put her on date AGAIN, but unfortunately she isnt in our ward. We will have to hand her over to the missionaries in 3rd ward. hopefully she can progress even more this time! 

We did some service at a Lutheran Church, they did a thing to raise money so they had a lunch, we helped clean up afterwards and it was good to talk to them and see what the inside of other churches felt like. It felt kinda like NPA so that was kinda weird haha but they were super nice people and were thankful for our help. 

lots of our 7 and 8 pm appointments have seemed to cancel so that was really fun! finding in the dark is always good haha hopefully we can get some solid appointments in the evening for this upcoming week. we are also going to be doing a lot of finding this week. so that should be good. 

hope yall had a great valentines day and hope you have a great week! 

Love Elder David Witt
