Hi everybody,
This past week was really
good. We were on bikes so my counteracting plan to being on bikes for
the evenings is inviting all members I can think of to come and teach
with us. We had members take us out three nights this week. That's not
bad for a branch with average attendance of 40 something. I can't
express to you guys how much better lessons go with a member. I don't
know if its just because theyre that much more spiritual than us or they
are just more relatable or God just blesses us for making the extra
effort but it has got to be something.
I can't even think of anything to talk about right now.
I am just sitting here. I am really addicted to mint chocolate chip
Klondike bars. They're like the best frozen treat known to man. You
should all go get some next time you're in the grocery store. It's like
2.69 for 6 of them at wal mart. Am I making this enticing enough. I will
be following up next week on who did this and I will be giving shout
outs for those that come through.
Also I have finally gave up fighting it and just
started using the word yall its way too convenient. I made it over 9
months (one pregnancy and a bit) without
giving in but I have
now cracked. I know I am being judged right now but any of you come
live down here for that long and never say it and I will take you out
for dinner.
Transfers are coming up in a week and a half. Decent chance my companion moves but nothing is ever sure in mission transfers.
We
have some really awesome investigators right now. There are three
pretty cool families we are teaching that I would say are kind of our
top investigators.
Congrats to Waranne on the child. I like the names.
Happy birthday Dad Mom and Anniversary too.
I will think of things to write about this week because this email is lame.
Spiritual message for today. uhh...
Sister
Petersen shared a cool story in specialized training last month. It was
about this little group of neighborhood kids who all like to do diving
as a hobby and they were all very proper and well off or something. And
they go to a diving competition and there is this other kid who was poor
and didn't have a pool at his house to practice at and he would try to
do flips and stuff but he never pointed his toes or had good form. And
all the other little kids to nice dives and swan dives with pointed toes
and made fun of the poor kid. At the end of the competition they
announce the poor kid wins and the narrator girl goes up to the judges
and asks how that's possible because hed had lower scores the whole
time. And the judges say to her "you may have had the better dive, but
he had the harder difficulty" and he wins because of the difficulty
multiplier or bonus or something. Anyways the moral of the story is you
may look like your better but others may have harder difficulties. You
can't judge anybody because we don't understand their circumstances. You
don't know where they come from what their brain chemistry is like
how they were treated through out their life. And I am not just talking
about handicapped people or random people that are kind of different it
applies to every person you come in contact with. Something that has
helped me a ton over the last couple months is the parable of the two
debtors which I belive is in Matthew somewhere. Gottta go and don't have
time to find it but I would invite you all to go read it. And then
everytime you're mad at somebody or they are annoying just remember how
patient GOd has been with you your whole life.
That's all the time Ive got
Love peace and blessings yall
