My goodness, it has been a long week! We had 20+ hours of meetings with Elder Wong this week, which was such an incredible to be a part of! He taught so interactively while helping us both with our personal conversion as well as how we can improve as a mission. I've definitely felt the drive to improve and take my efforts one notch up. That was one message he shared often and very powerfully throughout the various meetings. He compared our efforts to high jump, and that when you practice, you can't just leave the bar low and make it every time; sometimes you've got to take it up a notch. Though you will likely knock it over often, it's the only way to improve! I have a goal to take my efforts up one notch each day, and I'd invite you to find a way to do the same for yourself!
