Our next stop today was in Ellensburg. Here’s how missionaries park the cars so they don’t have to back out. Everyone faces forward! The Ellensburg District was having their District Meeting today, so everyone was gathered when we arrived.
We got to hear the end of their meeting. It was wonderful.
Then they had lunch together. Check out the creative frying pans for their pancakes and scrambled eggs!
After lunch we began the interviews. They are each responding to the question, “What are 2 ways you plan to change after listening to General Conference?”
Elder Spitzer and Elder Hankins, serving in the Cle Elum BranchElder Spitzer: I want to gain a further testimony that Pres Nelson is a prophet of God. I want to have Family Home Evening when I have a family.
Elder Hankins: I want to remember and think about what Christ did for all of us more often. Instead of just asking God to fix things, I want to be more specific and ask “what can I do to help?”
Elder Babbitt and Elder Hart, serving in the Ellensburg 3rd WardElder Babbitt: My plan is to develop Christlike attributes one by one. My goal is to have so much faith that I could move mountains.
Elder Hart: I want to listen to the promptings of the Spirit. I want to look for more opportunities to serve others.
Elder Ball and Elder Nielsen, serving in the Ellensburg 2nd and YSA WardsElder Ball: I want to remember our baptismal covenant to take upon me the name of Christ. I want to remember what meekness is to me.
Elder Nielsen: I can’t wait to home teach!! Oh, wait, I mean “MINISTER!” I want to live every day of my mission like it’s my last.
