Blacker, Dekan

Admittedly the title is clickbait..... sorta.      This week has been nothing like I expected, we have 0 people in our area to teach right now, so the days have mostly been the morning routine (breakfast, exercise, personal & companionship studies) and then not much.

Which spiritually, I feel like I've learned a lot already. I feel like I've gotten to know my Savior better than ever before. One day while pondering I was looking at a picture of the savior. In it the apostles had been fishing all day with nothing to show for it and then the savior tells them to cast on the other side and they catch more than they can carr...
