Really crazy week- heres a few highlights:
Took my first Pickleball L in the state of NC to a chinese man named Ming. Apparently he used to be a pro tennis player in France haha. I got down 9-1 on him but lost 11-9, couldn't quite finish off the comeback. Until we meet again Ming 
Got the news I will be training someone fresh out of the home MTC starting tomorrow! All I know is he is supposed to go to Taiwan. Should be a fun time!
We set our good chinese friend Celine on date! THE most stressful, draining lesson I've ever been a part of. The 2 members that came and helped teach came in clutch hardcore. Her date is for November 21st, so please pray for her ha. As of now it's a definite maybe, but we hope that can turn into a firm yes.
To end on a spiritual note, in personal study the other day I was reading in 1 Nephi 17, one of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon. Something that has lately been on my mind and the focus of my studies is the conditionality of God's love. In these verses, Nephi gives lots of examples to Laman and Lemuel of how God's love is conditional. Basically, the way these go is that the people obeyed God's commandments and prospered in the land. The people who could have, but didn't follow his commandments were punished and suffered. Something that really stuck out to me in all of these verses is verse 40- "And he loveth those who will have him to be their God." I know that when we keep the commandments, we will be blessed. However when we don't, the answer is found in D&C 82:10. I love how perfect God's love is, and how it emphasizes the principle of repenting and trying to improve every day. I invite you all to live in a way that you will be able to feel more and more of God's divine love each day. Don't be content with where you are at, there is always more Heavenly Father has to offer.
