Heyyy everyone!
Okay, this was one of the best weeks of my whole life! First off, we received transfer calls! Sister Hutchings and I are staying in Oly and getting a BABY!!! (Aka a brand new missionary from the MTC). You can just call us Papa Pete and Hutch mama. We are so excited!!
On Saturday, President Nelson and President Eyring came to the great Pacific Northwest!! 49,000+ people all gathered together at Safeco field (yay Mariners!) to hear from the Prophet. We were able to go as a mission, so we piled onto some buses and even had the opportunity of sitting in the suites. (: I wish I could describe to you the spirit that was in the stadium, it was indescribable. The whole time I had chills and felt the deepest amount of love from my Heavenly Father. I had several questions that I had been praying about that were answered through the words of the Prophet. My testimony was deeply strengthened that President Nelson is a man called of God and that God still reaches out in love to us by providing us with a living day Prophet.
As I was walking out of the stadium, I felt an urge to walk back towards the stadium and ran into my recent convert Ed that means the world to me! And most of the Mountain View ward was there! So I got to see a lot of the people that mean the most to me. I was smiling from cheek to cheek (: The craziest thing is, that ward is no longer in our mission due to mission boundary changes so it was a complete miracle that I got to see them. It was the perfect ending to a perfect night! God is so good! (:
Here are a couple highlights from the devotional:
-"The Lord uses the unlikely to accomplish the seemingly impossible"
-The Lord likes effort and blesses our best efforts
-Do what seems utterly impossible
-Everyone deserves to hear the gospel
-Nothing is more important than preparing for the Temple
-"If you faithfully and prayerfully read the Book of Mormon daily, you will be immunized from the evils of the world and be drawn closer to the Lord." It is meant for our day!
Here's an article that was posted from the visit: please read!
