Hola a todos [Hello everyone] !!

We have a member in our ward that needs to make a nickname to remember our names so naturally I am Elder Sprocket and my companion is Elder Dingleberry. 

Esta semana [This week]: 

︎ Zone Conference was this week and it was very uplifting and I definitely received things I can work on. Transfer focus: Diligence 

︎ I got called "chunky" by an STL [Sister Training Leader] 

︎ I saw a friend get baptized that I taught in Boston!  

︎ I got to do manual labor again. Digging trenches. That was sooo fun except for the seven blisters I received 

︎ Dedicated a house with Bishop!  

︎ Had a lesson with a best friend from high school!  

︎ Our bathroom is falling apart. SMH [Not Spanish, but... Shaking My Head] 

︎ A man told us he outgrew God. 

︎ Got marriage license papers at City Hall. [Dad Note: Since we didn't talk about this in our last conversation, I'm hoping this is for someone else?!?!?] 

This week we found more than 0 people!! We found 7 people and we had 7 friends at church. Sadly none of the friends we found came to church, but that's OK because there is always next week. Devon's baptism is getting pushed back two weeks, we still have principles to teach. Dina y Julio are getting married and baptized on the 27th! Tina and Victor aren't looking so hot right now so we will be praying the Spirit touches them. 

Yesterday I had the opportunity to share my testimony in sacrament meeting. I shared a favorite scripture, D&C 84:88. Read it. That promise applies to everyone that acts under the authority of the priesthood - which means anyone who has been baptized. We can have Him to be with us but we have to work. There is no middle ground when it comes to committing to Christ. Try and be 1% more committed this week; I promise it's worth it. 

I also had the opportunity to talk to a missionary (at Zone Conference) that I love dearly. We talked about sacrifice and he shared with me something that he recently sacrificed. I am very proud of him especially because I know how much that meant to him. There is not another missionary in this mission that I have a stronger connection to. I'm proud of you. 

Send me something I can pray for. I'm praying for all of you anyway so give me something specific plz  

Love y'all

Elder Stockett

"A casual understanding of the gospel will not sustain you through the days ahead, which is why it is imperative that you immerse yourself in the word of God." [Sheri L Dew]

Alma 17:13

If God is making you wait, you are in good company.

One day each of us will run out of tomorrows.

"True conversion is the fruit of faith, repentance, and consistent obedience. Faith comes by hearing the word of God and responding to it." [Richard G Scott]
