Hey ya'll. Today is going to be pretty short, we have been way busy. We have had a general authority in town this whole week and been doing zone conferences. His name is Elder Foster and he is intense. He invited my companion and I to come with President and Sister Young to a stake conference this weekend in Roseburg. We went to the priesthood leadership meeting and he was way bold. He was trying to get everyone involved that was there in his lesson but no one was talking and no one was even taking notes. It blew my companion's and my mind that no one was taking notes. A 70 comes in and everyone was just sitting there looking at the wall. !?!?! You could tell he was getting a little frustrated. What he talked about was pretty good. He was talking about ward council and how the ward council needs to actually council with each other. And then the auxiliary leaders need to council with each auxiliary, and then how families need to council with each other- and that's how we learn and grow. Tieing it in to how we need to inspire people and help them receive revelation. So my companion and I were thinking about how we can tie that into our mission, zones, and districts. How we need to council and learn and inspire each other together. The power of note taking = inspiration! hahaha.
Oh and check this - my companion (who is Elder "H" now, he is tight. He plays the guitar really well and we are putting on a youth fireside this Sunday and playing music) and I got invited to a round table at a local school. The sophomore high school class is putting on this event and asking all the religious sects to come and teach about their religion! How bomb is that. So our mission pres asked us to go. The work is hastening. We aren't allowed to like "preach" but they told us to bring religious script. So we are bring a case of Book of Mormons - hahah. Oho yeah, watch out Eugene. I'm loving it here!
It's been a way fun week full of adventure and mayhem. :)
Love you all, hope you guys have a great week.
Elder Woestman
