Ok so this week has been one of the most spiritual weeks of my mission. Elder Kenneth Johnson from the qorum of the 70 came and gave a mission tour and he is the coolest guy ever! I think he has the scriptures memorized! It was very humbling to listen to him. Four missionaries had the opportunity to bear their testimonies and two to give 5 min talks. I was able to be picked as one of the people to bear testimony! haha so i was like crap i need to get a testimony first! haha just kidding but it was neverwracking going in front of half the mission and having him there when i know he can see inside of me pretty much but no i just put faith in the holy ghost and bore witness of the simple truths i know. It was awesome. He spoke in april 08 conference i think so look him up he is a very powerful speaker and so funny! I love Elder Scott we get a long so great and are so close. He and I love teaching the gospel and we have had a ton of opportunities to do so. We are definetly looking for ways to be better missionaries. One thing Elder Johnson said was People dont need information they need revelation and thats so ture. Its all fine and dandy but if we havent knelt and got a confirmation then its not truth to us technically. I look forward to reviewing my notes. He quoted over 100 scriptures at least in being there and was a walking talking quote book. He quoted Carlas E Asay (elder Asays gpa) "memorization to the brain is like exercise for the body" im going to work on that a lot. We have a ton of places to eat for thanksgiving so I consider myself very lucky.
Love you all! thanks for the support!
Elder SChallenberger
