December 14, 2020 Richland, TX (Week 8)

Hey Y’all!! Sorry this is a little late but my week was good!! We had a zone conference and my comp and I drove all over the mission to take pictures of the other zone conferences because President Chapman liked the picture we took at ours haha. We also videoed a lot of videos for a Christmas video we are making. 

Lately, patience has been one of the things I’ve been working on a lot lately. I think it is because I’m going to need a lot of patience in Korea when I’m put in the middle of nowhere with a comp that speaks no English and IDK what I’m doing haha. It’s hard to have patience when the world is the complete opposite of that haha. 

I listened to a talk by Elder Rasband called “Recommended to the Lord” at October 2020 conference, and It talks about being worthy of a temple recommend and how it is important, even if we can’t go to the temple. With COVID and everything I haven’t been thinking about the temple as much as I use to, and I want to change that. I use to try to go to the temple each week before COVID and I was always thinking about the temple and the importance of it. I want to get back into that mentality by setting aside “temple time” each week and I want to find a quiet place and just ponder on the temple and the covenants I made. I invite y’all to do it with me if you want haha. Maybe if you’re close enough to a temple you can sit in the parking lot or on the temple grounds if that is open. Just because we can’t be in the temple right now doesn’t mean we can’t be worthy of it and gain those same blessings. 

Well, I love y’all and I apologize for the short email this week haha. I hope y’all have an amazing week!!

Elder LeBaron
