It has been a great week as always here in Corona, Everything is going very well for me and Elder Schoonmaker here. A lot of stuff has been going on this past week. We had quite a few meetings.
Among the meetings we had we had a weekly district meeting, we had interviews with President Mullen and a special screening of meet the mormons, and General conference. Our Interviews were a little different this transfer, First we shared our favorite scripture out of a reading assignment we were given, mine was Alma 31:35 -"Behold, O Lord, their souls are precious, and many of them are our brethren; therefore, give unto us, O Lord, power and wisdom that we may bring these, our brethren, again unto thee." This scripture is part Alma's prayer before he goes to teach the Zoramites. Then the other unusual thing that happened in interviews was that President Mullen asked to see our planners and go over them with us. That was a pretty humbling experience, as President got on me a little bit about my planner. It was good for me though, and he gave me some excellent pointers to use my planner more effectively.
During interviews President Mullen showed us the Church's new Movie "Meet the Mormons." All I can say is that I would recommend it to anybody and I would encourage Everybody to see it if at all possible. The movie is very good and follows 6 individuals who are members of the church, and it shares each of their stories. There are "the Bishop," "the Coach," "the Fighter," "the Candy Bomber," "the Humanitarian," and "the Missionary Mom." Each of their stories are very good and I got choked up in many of them, Perhaps the one that meant the most to me was the Missionary Mom, maybe it is because I am a Missionary right now and it reminded me of my Mom, but her story touched my heart, because I have personally seen people go through the things that she went through leading up to her son serving a mission, and I know what the sacrifice is to serve a mission. Needless to Say if any of you have the chance to see it, Do it! It truly is an amazing movie.
General Conference was really good this weekend. I enjoyed all of the Talks and I was most definitely uplifted and edified by Conference. The Talks that I really enjoyed were both of President Uchtdorf's talks, and President Eyring's talk Sunday morning. I also really enjoyed Elder Bednar's talk Sunday Afternoon. I hope that Everybody got a lot from Conference.
Well this week is going to be another busy week. However the thing that I am most excited for is Going to the Temple this Thursday.
I Love you guys,
Elder Bangerter
