Cool old talk from Elder Bednar



I sat down to write you an email today and then got interrupted and now it’s midnight, and I am just writing… We haven’t had a lot going on this week out of the ordinary, so there isn’t much new to tell you other than we had a baby shower for jordan and Melissa yesterday. It was fun to get to see everyone and celebrate these new babies that are coming soon.


We have enjoyed our come follow me lessons this week that had to do with 2 Nephi 3-5. We talked about Lehi and his blessings, promises and reminders to his children before he died. We talked about agency. It’s been a good week of study.


We were talking about agency today for FHE and dad brought up this talk. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2007/09/seek-learning-by-faith?lang=eng


It was a great one. I hope you love it too! Excited to talk to you tomorrow! Love you!!
Love,
Mom

A cool old talk from when you were 1 -From Mom

  Hey William, The YW went to the provo temple to do baptisms today.  It surprised me a bit when we drove up, all the memories that came back from the day we dropped you off at the MTC.  It was also really fun to see all the missionaries there and think of all the people whose lives they will be blessing as they go out into the world to serve.    It's crazy to think that temple will probably not look the same for you again.  They are closing it soon to tear it down and rebuild it.  Kind of sad that it will be a totally different design.  But I guess that is just the way they decided to do it.  The fall leaves were so pretty at the temple today.  It was awesome.   Dad took Cohen to the BYU game tonight.  It's super cold and I hope they are staying warm.  It's a late game, so Cohen gets to stay up super late, probably till almost 1 by the time they get home.   We did some more yard stuff today. ...

  Bread and butter    Tue, Jul 25 2023 Hey y'all welcome back to the weekly email! This week has definitely been a party, it's been awesome getting to meet my district and having all kinds of new experiences with them. (Sorry bout the long email) Here's the rundown On Wednesday my fam took me to p.f. changs and then dropped me off at the mtc. It was really sad but also exciting to start my first day at the mtc.  On Thursday we had the opportunity to go to the temple and do baptisms. After that my companion and I were able to do this thing called helping others. It's where you are able to teach a lesson to an actor who pretends like they don't know anything about our church. We didn't have much time to prepare for it because we had a meeting right before where they called me as district leader. Since we didn't prepare we had no idea what scripture to share during the lesson so we just shared a random one. Let's just say that lesson didn't go very well...
