Week 2-Tacos October 26, 2020

Week 2: Tacos Mon, Oct 26, 2020, 5:56 PM to me Hey everyone! Don't have a ton to share about the second week in Santa Clarita, but we have decided to turn just about everything into a taco. We'll put our eggs, chicken, anything members give us, veggies, and everything in between onto Corn tortillas. It's some really good stuff. I would highly recommend expanding your definition of taco. This week we were able to teach a ton of lessons, some days we taught as many as 5! It has really been a blessing to see our members' work paying off, and I have felt truly lucky to have so many good opportunities to share the gospel. I have been missing home a lot this week adjusting to everything out here, but teaching always helps so much! This week we had the opportunity to invite a member to prepare to enter the temple, an experience that brought the spirit so strongly. The temple is such a sacred place, and brings so much spiritual power and strength. For those who don't know, a temple is different from a church building/chapel, as only members that have been found worthy by the bishop are able to enter. In the temple, we make promises with God to obey his commandments, and learn to grow closer to our Savior and families. I had the opportunity to go through right before I came out on my mission, and I am incredibly grateful for that! We shared Elder Rasband's talk, titled recommended to the Lord, which describes why we should strive to live a temple worthy life even when we are unable to enter. I would highly recommend reading it, it really has some great inspiration to be ready for when the temples open again! Thanks so much for reading, hope everyone is doing well! Elder Easton
