Elder James Coon: #63 - Pickle ball, Cars, New friends (gators) and Transfers

Here is to another great week! We had transfer calls and Elder Newey is leaving me and going to train in the ghetto of Indianapolis! Sad to see him go. I am getting Elder Richards! We will be working hard!

Samantha is doing great. Her date is for the 15th and of course, you are all invited to that!

This transfer I am ponderizing Doctrine and Covenants 121:34-37 Behold, there are many called, but few are chosen. And why are they not chosen? Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and aspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson— That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness. That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man. So powerful! The powers of the priesthood are contingent on principles of righteousness.

General Conference is coming!! So pumped!! Hope you all will take time and study it!

The weather is getting nice and we are sure enjoying it! Spring is coming! Sorry for the super small letter! Life is good!

Love, Elder Coon
