Time flies- Week 74

Hey everyone I hope that you are all having a good week! Every week I write these it feels like I just barely wrote them the day before! My week was basically the same as every other week, lots of finding teaching and exchanges! I went one 2 exchanges and they are always so fun I learn so much. We also had... IN PERSON ZONE CONFERENCE, whaaat that like never happens anymore.

Congratulations to my cousin Paxton who got married this last week and also happy birthday today!

Oh also! We got a new car this week:) our last one was basically broken so the car coordinator took it at Zone Conference to take it to the shop and fix it, we should be getting it back pretty soon but until then we have a sweet car! Oh and at Zone Conference me and my companion Sister Glick and Riddle sang while Elder Lacey played the cello and Hermana Kono did some awesome stuff on the piano! I love my zone!

We had an awesome devotional last night from the President and Sister Duffield who are the Chicago temple President and Wife! They are amazing. They had such amazing thoughts about the amazing things that happen in the temple! I know temples are given to us to make promises and covenants with the Lord. 'The ordinances and covenants received in the temple are ESSENTIAL because they are a spiritual transformation,' but they are only spiritually transforming as we keep the covenants and promises we make:) I am so grateful for the knowledge that we have of temples and all the things we can learn from the temples. There truly is an incredible spirit as we think, talk and rejoice about the Holy House of the Lord. I love Jesus Christ! I love you all! As we remember Him and center our lives around Him I know that we can and will have true joy no matter our situation or circumstance.

DO GOOD, BE GOOD 

Love,

Elder T. Ricks
