JACE - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 1-2-24

 Hey Everyone!

It's so weird that 2024 is already here. Feels like yesterday was just 2023. ;-) This week wasn't the most exciting week. Sickness kind of ravaged our district a bit, even 2 of our members got put into quarantine for a few days. I was weird going to devotionals and class with 3 trios and one companionship. I did end up getting a bit of a something as well, but it wasn't enough to take me out of the picture. I personally wasn't going to go get tested and taken out of stuff, but I might of had covid. But who knows. We celebrated both New Year's and one of our Sister's birthdays this week, so Monday was a fun time. Someone's mom sent them hats that we wore for the morning of the 1st, so we looked a bit goofy going to class, but had fun doing it. Our sabbath was a special day, as every Sunday should be. During the Go and Do experience, we focused on strengthening our faith in The Book of Mormon. One of the clips they gave us was a clip of President Nelson in October 2017, the last talk before he was made President of the church. He compared the Book of Mormon to the word power. It has the power to heal and guide our lives and I know that it is the truth. I personally know that God knows and loves all of us, and that the Book Of Mormon is His way to teach us. We also get to go to the temple for our p-day today, so I am excited for a spiritual pick-me-up before I actually leave for Minnesota this week. We have to leave for the bus at 4:30 in the morning. It'll be a long day, but it's exciting. I invite you all to search for a verse in the Book of Mormon that speaks to you. Luckily Come Follow Me in on the Book of Mormon this year, so that should be a good thing for everyone to do. 

Love y'all!

Sincerely,

Elder Buchanan
