Brad Wilcox taught the mission about the Tribes of Israel, and what the word "birthright" means as it applies to those of us who have the gospel in our lives. Because we have been given much, we too must give. He explained that in the Old Testament, the eldest son got double shares of his father's inheritance, but it came with the added responsibility of caring for his widow mother and his sisters. He went super in depth on that and used it to illustrate that because we have the gospel in our lives, we have the responsibility to take care of those who don't - to share the gospel with them. My jaw was dropped the whole time haha.
I feel like I am getting so old in the mission! I used to know every single missionary and know what area they were in, who their companion was, etc. But now so many of the missionaries I knew well are gone, and there are so many young missionaries I don't know. Time flies!
We have played basketball almost every day this week for morning workout, and today for P-Day. It's just so fun!
Hope everyone has a good week!
Love,
Elder Pettit
