This week has been absolutely amazing. So much has happened. Our zone conference a few weeks ago was held virtually because this week we had a mission tour with Elder Marcos Aidukaitis (General Authority Seventy and 1st Counselor in the Africa South Area Presidency), And his wife Sister Luisa Aidukaitis. This mission tour was amazing. They were able to help train us in become better missionaries and how to better help others find the gospel.
You know, most people who find the gospel find it not knowing that they need it. This is the case for me as well. I was born into an amazing family with amazing parents and siblings. I couldn't have asked for anything better than that. On top of that, we grew up with the gospel in the center of the home. And it's led me to become the person that I am today.
I am so thankful that I have this opportunity to share what we believe and know to be true. This gospel has brought me and has brought so much joy to all the people that I know!
That being said, this week has been absolutely amazing. There have been so many miracles that have taken place. Heavenly Father has helped instruct us on ways to push his work forward and because of that. We have found some amazing people that are truly interested in the gospel.
I know that this is the gospel of peace and will be forever and ever.
Alma 37:37
"37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."

I know these things are true, without any question in my soul.
I love each of you, and hope you have a great week!
With Love,
Elder Lawrence
