So a lot happened this week. We had MLC which was a lot of fun and it was good to see a lot of my old mission buddies. Seeing Elder Foster who is now a zone leader was fun. I tried to bring some things to the council that I thought would be good next steps for the mission but many people didn't agree. I had a mini revelation during that time that God will not necessarily give people the best thing but he will give them what they need at that time. Tying this into my Old Testament studies it's like how God gave the children of Israel the law of Moses even though the best info is the law of consecration. The people couldn't handle it as a whole so he had to give them what they could handle at the time. This is he great thing about revelation and why it is so important to not only follow our leaders revelation but to constantly seek for our own.
Good events that happened this week was I passed my driving test!!!!! I was really nervous when I went into the testing centre but as soon as I got into the car I felt calm. That was up until I thought I caused an accident haha so he told me to turn into this super tight road that was a two way but there were cars parked in both sides so only one car at a time could go through and I was driving and almost got to the end when another car turned in and started coming towards me. I was almost out so they stopped and I stopped to wait for them to get out of the way. Instead of going backwards this other car tried to go forwards and squeeze into a gap in between a car and a big metal garbage bin the size of a truck to the right of me. She didn't have enough space though because I was there and so she turned really sharply and crashed into the metal bin. I then got super nervous and backed up cuz I thought it was my fault then she tried to back up but she was stuck against this bin and while reversing she scraped the side of her car super bad and I think she took off her door mirror. When there was enough space I drove away without checking to see what happened because I was in the middle of the test and had no clue what to do. After that I was sure I failed but I asked him about it when we were done and he said it was her fault haha English drivers are ruthless.
Regarding Paul he had some things come up this last weekend so we had to push his baptism to next week but he is still on date and all is well. I really hope Satan doesn't get the best of him this last week though. He has been working on Paul really hard.
Going back to personal revelation. Something cool that I've learned and have been trying to apply this week is accounting to God every evening for the works of the day then asking him what my next step is for tomorrow. It has been super helpful to review my day in personal prayer and then ask Heavenly Father what I can focus on tomorrow to help myself grow and repent. Then I can account the next thing, go over my day, and see how I improved in that one thing. It's helped me feel fulfilled as I have been making daily measurable improvements even if they are sometimes quite small. It's also helped me receive daily revelation as I ask God what I can focus in for the next day. Another important thing I do is write down the revelation I receive and make sure I work on it.
