This past week was awesome starting off
with a meeting with Tracey
Watson, the director of proselyting in
the LDS church for the world. I was
asked as was 9 others from the mission
to meet with him and talk about
a couple topics he was assigned to
receive information on. I have been
asked not to disclose a lot of
information on what we talked about but
he did say that the information given,
I might see it being implemented
while still on my mission and it would
effect missionaries around the
world. Kind of cool to think about and
kind of curious as to why
President Taylor asked me to go.
Nearing the end he allowed us to ask
him questions that we had and one of
the topics we got on was about
spiritual gifts. He talked about a
number of the spiritual gifts
mentioned in the scriptures but also
said there are numberless
spiritual gifts out there and the
Father wants us to obtain all of
them. What keeps us from them is not
coming to the Lord with a
specific question or desiring them. He
told us to never stop praying
for them and studying for them and
searching for them. What came to my
mind was that we have a Father in
heaven that wants us to obtain all
that we can and he wants us to have all
of the gifts he has provided
for us. We simply need to ask for them.
How wonderful that is that we
can become who we want with the
strengths we want by simply desiring
them, asking the Lord sincerely for
them, searching, and always
working for them. I really took that to
heart. Brother Watson is a
spiritual giant!
Had New Years and didn't get to do
anything that crazy because one I'm
a missionary and second because my
companion and I had to go to a 8 hr
long meeting that day. It was still
good though. Have a great New
Year! Love you all!
Love Elder Caleb Leonhardt
