Sorry for the lack of email last week was kind of caught up with everything going on that day, it was pretty back and forth. Anyways Hope you've all had a wonderful week this past week, and will experience another one to come.
This last week was a pretty good week, though not too much happened that was very exciting. It was just a overall packed week. To start we had a normal couple of days before our Zone Conference with some time to prepare for some of the things going on. Then it was Zone conference which was quite interesting. Before hand we were ask to prepare a talk over the Doctrine of Jesus, or the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I had a feeling that i would be one of the ones who would be called so i prepared myself as such, and i'm glad i did. We were giving about 3 minutes to talk about it to the rest of the zone. I focused on how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is literally The Good news of Jesus Christ, and how we should go about sharing that joyous good news to those we come across. It felt pretty good to do it, an everything went smoothly, i think. There were also a few changes with some of the mission Rules and Standards, One of which was that we wont be using any social media for the time being, which includes Google Hangouts. Hopefully it wont take too long, before we can get it running here in Australia. So no More Google Hangouts, so don't message me through there just send me heaps of emails :D. Another thing that the mission will be doing is a fast from all other music beside the Tabernacle Choir. It's only been a couple of days since we've started and it's already been a bit challenging, so to make it easier weve been listening to talks in replacement and some Tcats (Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square) when we can. The Mission is also taking on the challenge that President Nelson gave to the sisters during the relief society session. We've been asked to mark all references to the Savior, I was already doing that, but now i plan on doing it on the phone so that i always have it there with me. I suggest that everyone take on the challenge and draw closer to the savior as you do.
The rest of the week we were about doing service, and visiting members, which has been a big push in the mission. It has been a good week, and i always love being able to give service to others in whatever way i can. May favorite act of service is our weekly service at the Salvos Store. The employees there, and other volunteer seem to like me and sometimes give me free stuff which is nice, but much more fulfilling to see what you did help others out. It's always good to do work there. Hope you all have a great week! Hope to hear from you soon!
Love,
Elder Boren
