Love this picture! What a great smile!!
Well family this week was another good one.
I had the opportunity this Saturday to be a part of some personal training from Elder Lynn G Robins of the first quorum of the seventy. We held a Zone Leader Council where he gave us about a 4 hour training on a variety of subjects. It was one of the most fantastic things that I have had the opportunity to be a part of. Some of the things that we were trained on was the understanding that we as a church know the doctrine of having been given by God 100% Agency and we accept that. But what we often look over is that 100% Agency also equals 100% Responsibility. He spent three hours of the four training us on this so it is a little hard to relay that information to you as well in a quick email. But in short it was some the most important training I have received, not only for my mission but in every aspect of my life. He gave us examples of what people do as a reaction to avoiding responsibility. We came up with a list and after we wrote down the things we could come up with for possible ways to get out of responsibility, he wrote on top of that list " The Anti-Faith list". It was a pretty powerful lesson taught. O how I wish I could have all of you sit in a room and relay all that I learned so you could understand in portion what I learned. Sadly emails just won't do what I learned justice, but I hope you understand it in at least a small part. My mind was about to explode after that training session so that was great. So much to learn so little time.
Luckily we have had the great chance to train some other elders on it through exchanges and in a District Leader Training we held with our District leaders right before Zone Conference on Monday. So it has helped me to ingrain it into my mind a little deeper. So like I mentioned in a previous statement we had a Zone Conference on Monday afternoon. It was great, both President and Sister Murray gave training, as well as Sister and Elder Robins. So as a Zone Leader I was just able to sit back and learn as much as possible. Again the statement rings true so much to learn so little time. It was great the spirit testified of the truth of what was being taught to all of us that evening. Directly after that we went straight to some exchanges with some other elders. (Exchanges are where we as missionaries go to another elders area and give some training and see how we can help them). We have been running around like crazy this past week, it has been great.
Well family I believe that is all I have for you this week.
P.S. worldly note it was sad to hear the Utes and cougs lost to teams outside the conference what a bummer.
Love you,
Elder Andrus
