hey everyone!
another great week! D and C 121 34: many are cold, but few are frozen (Kalkaska)
haha im lame. anyways....
so this week
was awesome! Elder Stolp (from traverse) and i went in to teach Kristin the
Plan of Salvation on tuesday. and she is holding her coffee (she drinks 4 pots
a day) and she starts telling us how she told her doctor she had been meeting
with missionaries. her doctor tells her that missionaries will make her stop
drinking coffee cuz they dont believe in caffeine. she laughs hysterically as
she tells us this and says, "thank goodness you guys arent that
church!" umm... haha i replied actually.... we dont believe in drinking
coffee. haha needless to say, a word of wisdom lesson ensued. she dumped out
all her coffee right then! and she hasnt had any since!! she is doing great!!
Karla has been
sick for a week so we havent been able to see her... thats been stressful but
im sure she is doing alright spiritually. Steve is still going to church in
Gaylord and is getting closer and closer to getting a job with President
Thomas' company! soo cool!!
the Draher's
are still doing great. we taught Deborah (the daughter) separately this week to
help her along her own path and it went really well!! she will want to be
baptized soon, its just a matter of time! carl and dana are both so excited
about their baptism and cant wait to be able to be sealed together for time and
all eternity! that’ll be soo awesome!!
this saturday
should be an awesome day!! this week will be mega busy with 2 trade offs,
baptismal interviews, and half mission training/christmas party on friday!!
itll be great!
yesterday we
had a meeting to plan out our branch mission plan. brother hoover is a total
boss, so it was the coolest meeting ever! we talked a lot about the parable of
the talents, and this is what i want to include in this email. at the end of
the parable, the master takes the slothful servants one talent and gives it to
the one who had 10. why not the guy who had 5? why not try to make them even?
well, because the guy who had 10 had been faithful with more, so the master
trusted him with more. we need to be those kind of people. the kind of people
the Lord can depend on. when he has someone who needs a helping hand, are we
the kind of people that the Lord feels comfortable pointing that struggling
person to us? can the Lord depend on us when others fail to do their duty? we
are all given jobs in life (being parents, home teachers, etc.) those are like
the talents the master gave. are we burying our talents (responsibilities) or
are we making the most of them and then taking on more. if we are the type of
people that are dependable, we should never complain about the Lord giving us
more to do, because that is a token of His trust.
love you all!
have a great week!
