| It Begins!!! |
things were
awesome this week. we taught Karla the Stop Smoking Program with the Shafers
(the people who made us the halloween lunch). they were both smokers before in
their lives. karla and her husband steve were excited and it was an awesome
lesson. but then karla got sick and couldnt come to church. she has been doing
great things and we will hopefully be able to get her baptized in the next few
weeks.
the draher's
were at church again this week. we taught them the restoration last week and
they loved it. they wanted to know more about joseph smith, so we gave them a
prophet of the restoration dvd to borrow. they watched the whole thing and
loved it haha. they wanna discuss the movie over lunch tomorrow, which will be
awesome. i have seen that movie so many times that if they have any questions i
can probably re-enact the scene for them and quote every line haha. missionary
life gets pretty weird sometimes with the stuff you memorize cuz you have
nothing else haha.
bob has been
reading a lot in the BoM and is doing great as well. He had the flu the other
day, so elder boswell and i went over with branch president thomas and gave him
a blessing. he was fine the next day! soo amazing how the priesthood works.
the more i
learn, the more it amazes me that everyone isnt already members of this church.
if you believe in God, and you believe in Jesus Christ, then this is the ONLY
answer that makes sense. not to say other religions dont have great people, in
many cases better than some Latter Day Saints, but it is the only true and
living church on the face of the earth. the BoM is SO necessary in today's
world.
i saw a couple
cool quotes out here that i liked this week. one of them comes from a sign for the
People's Church ( a big non-denominational church in town). it said,
"every setback is a set up for a comeback." really liked that. so
true. you can either let set backs get you down, or use it as motivation to
make your story even greater when you succeed.
Richard G
Scott: if you want to reach goals never before achieved, you need to do things
you have never done.
how cool is
that! and how often do we forget that! if we want to change our lives, then
dont do the same things over and over and hope something different will
happen!!
not really
sure what else to say... i feel like soo much happens every week but that i can
never remember it when i sit down to type it out haha sorry.
God answers
our prayers. It may be in His way, and on His timetable, but He knows what we
want. More importantly, however, He knows what we NEED. 3 Nephi 14: 9-11. In
the eternal scheme of things, we will see that each of our prayers was
answered, and that all that happened truly was meant for our best benefit. but
it will be what we make of what happened in life that determines where we stay
for eternity.
