General Conference😍- Week 32

Hey! I hope General Conference went fabulous for everyone! I'm excited for the next General Conference now! There was so much good stuff and spiritual insights! It is true, Russell M. Nelson is the prophet of God! I'm so grateful that we have a prophet to lead and guide us throughout our lives and to testify and preach of our Savior Jesus Christ.

We went on 2 exchanges this last week and I stayed in Janesville for them both! It was awesome, I hope I stay here for at least until the New Year! That would be sweet! It was cool though because the first exchange I got to see my good friend Elder Freeman! Sadly I didnt get to go on the exchange with him but I got to see him for a little bit which was fun!

Fun fact, I will hit my 6 month mark being in Wisconsin on the 9th! I love being a missionary and getting to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It has truly brought me so much joy throughout my life.

Last week for P-Day we went mini golfing and I got a hole in one on hole 18 so I got a card for a free game! That was my second time doing that there and it was just as fun getting a hole in one this time as it was last time! 

I really enjoyed the talk by Elder Boom (I think?) this General Conference! He talked a lot about how even if we feel overwhelmed with all of the things going on in our life, through the Atonement and love of Jesus Christ we can understand His plan more fully and understand our part in His plan. By that understanding we are able to become better and also better fulfill our purposes in gathering scattered Israel and fulfill the Plan the Lord has for us. It brought so much peace and comfort to me that as we have a deeper understanding of Christ we will have a deeper understanding of who we need to become and how we are able to become like Christ.

Thanks for all of your prayers and thoughts this last week! I sure am grateful for all of your examples to me and I hope everything at home is going great!

DO GOOD, BE GOOD

Love, 

Elder T. Ricks
