On Tuesday we went to a restaurant called Nacho House and it was super good. Elder Heller, my companion, told me to order the Carne asada fries. I did and I was very glad I listened. It was really good and it was a lot of food.
We also went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week and that was a lot of fun. I went with Elder Blackwell for the day and we stayed really busy and talked to every person that we saw. We even went into a store and pretended to shop and actually bumped into and talked to a lot of latinos. They were all super friendly but some of them lived far away and were just shopping there. Plus it was awesome to practice so much Spanish just by talking to everyone we could in Spanish. And I love joking around with the Latinos; they have great senses of humor. We also got to share about the Gospel a lot which is probably our absolute favorite thing to do as Missionaries. So yeah we had great exchanges.
Sometimes we play basketball in the mornings, and wow I am not very good at it. It's fun but it would be more fun if I could actually play basketball. I wish we could roll out a wrestling mat, then I would feel at home.
Oh yes, and this Tuesday we had zone conference and it was so cool. We heard from our leaders and talked a lot about the importance of the work we are doing on our missions. We also spoke about aligning our will with Gods and how Christ's will was perfectly aligned with Heavenly Father's. That's one of our goals out here on the mission is to align our will with God's.
This week in my studies I read a lot about the Doctrine of Christ. If you want to read about it as well, these are great chapters. 2 Nephi 31, 3 Nephi 11, and 3 Nephi 27. This was one of my favorite passages.
3 Nephi 27:
14 And my Father sent me that I might be lifted up upon the cross; and after that I had been lifted up upon the cross, that I might draw all men unto me, that as I have been lifted up by men even so should men be lifted up by the Father, to stand before me, to be judged of their works, whether they be good or whether they be evil—
15 And for this cause have I been lifted up; therefore, according to the power of the Father I will draw all men unto me, that they may be judged according to their works.
16 And it shall come to pass, that whoso repenteth and is baptized in my name shall be filled; and if he endureth to the end, behold, him will I hold guiltless before my Father at that day when I shall stand to judge the world.
Well I love you all, and I'll talk to you next week
-Elder Golden
