This week has also been very good! We were able to go to the Temple multiple times with some of our friends and less actives. David is going well for his date for baptism on the 27th of November. We brought him through the Temple and he said it was very powerful. He had an amazing experience in there. It was good for him to feel the spirit and love of God in great abundance. 

The same day after his tour we had a General Authority 70 fellowship him. There's a member in our ward who has made a good friendship with Elder Giuffra who spoke in this past Conference, and he was in the area so he came with us to one of our lessons. It was amazing to see Elder Giuffra talk with David and just express his and Heavenly Father's love for him. He gave David a blessing and after the blessing David shook Elder Giuffra's hand and said "you are a man of Christ". The spirit was so strong in the room. It was amazing to witness that and just be a part of it.

I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with Elder McKenna and Elder Johnson this week. They are two really solid Elders. They're both a little quiet, but they have a great mind and a great drive to do missionary work.

For my spiritual experience for the week it was when I was inside the Temple. We were taking David through and the tour was a little different, but the spirit was the same and very strong. You could tell David was touched and that he was feeling the spirit and learning while he was in there. When he got out he would just keep telling us how beautiful it was. While I was in the Temple I was just so grateful for this calling that I have to be a full time missionary. I get to leave everything behind and just serve Christ. Elder Giuffra, afterwards was explaining to David what he does and I was just thinking how lucky and how blessed he is to be able to do that full time. What a blessing it is to be a full time representative of the Lord.
