I hope the fun has only begun at the family reunion. We had our first zone conference today with the Latvian speaking missionaries and it was great! Tomorrow the Russian speakers in Latvia will get together (about 24 missionaries) and then Estonians will be on monday and Lituanians on wednesday. We were going to do all four this week but President Dance got pretty sick so a few got pushed back. President Dance is my favorite mission president I've ever had.
He finds such a good balance of loving and appreciating others, while at the same time expecting everyone to reach their potential. He spoke today on the law of sacrifice and consecration and it blew everyone away. There was a lot of good stuff said but my favorite was the definition of consecration: to dedicate or develop for a sacred purpose. Also we read from Moses 4:1-2 and compared the way Satan and the Savior presented their plans to Heavenly Father. I don't know how its exactly possible, but true consecration is when thereš no I and only thee and thine. I'm so far from that point itš ridiculous but I'm doing what I can. (maybe not that well because I used three Is in the last sentance....hmmm).
Well for something a little lighter, we're teaching a few families! A few of them are already baptized, but I guess you gotta start somewhere. We continue to teaach the russian family that was baptized last transfer, theyŗe so happy and will help us on a few lessons tomorrow! On monday we taught a family Elder Brown taught and baptized a year ago and they are so strong and getting ready for the temple! And then we taught a man last night who's married and has two kids and then we have to go. Library's closing so we'ļl email the rest...on friday. ahaha
love you bye!
