Highlights:

- General Conference!

- Ian is getting baptized!

- Lots of member meals...

This week was same old same old, which isn't the worst thing in the world! Lots of finding, teaching, serving, and loving! Our friend Ian is getting baptized on Saturday so prayers and joy up for him!!

Transfers are this week, and my guess is that I'm heading down south. Kinda sad that I'll miss the baptisms of Ian and somebody named Steph, but thats ok!

It's been a good run! So bye bye Darwin...? Kinda lame you guys probably won't know till next week.

In Jeremy R. Jaggi's talk he says this:

"During His Sermon on the Mount, the Savior invited us to reconcile with our brothers and sisters before we approach the altar."

For some reason I heard that and just kinda went "dang." There's nobody that I feel like I need to reconcile myself with right now, but it reminded me that we REALLY need to prepare ourselves to take the Sacrament. We can't just show up and say we're good to go. We need to think about why we weren't good to go in the first place, put forth effort to change and repent, and then believe in the healing and sanctifying power of the Sacrament and the Atonement.

I thought of it as if I was literally preparing myself to stand in front of the Savior every week, and it hit a little different. My invitation to all of you is to truly prepare yourself for the Sacrament this week.

I can promise you that you will feel the Spirit, the power, and the love of God more than you EVER have in your life, if you prepare yourself more than you ever have in your life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

I love you all and 'till next time!
