Howdy Folks,
This week has
been quite swell. Here are some things I learned this week:
1. There is a
beach in our area! LIKE WHAT?! We did some seashell hunting, some gull
watching, some wave catching (in our cameras of course)
2. I am never
having a wedding reception. We spent 8 hours doing service there. Yes, it was
productive with tons of nonmembers. No, I will never curse anyone with that job
of working with me as Bridezilla.
3. I am not
as patient, loving, kind, patient, and patient as I used to think I was.
4. Using the
excuse of "I saw you two somewhere the other day with my girlfriend and
pointed you out to her and she was pretty upset with me that I didn't tell her
that you were young, attractive girls. She was under the impression you were
older ladies like the Jehovah Witness ladies that would come around" is not an effective drop reason.

Besides
getting dropped by one of our investigators this week was pretty good. We had lots of lessons and we were able to do
a lot of productive things. I am really grateful to be a member of the church
and the knowledge I have of being together with my family forever. It is sad to
me that people think that once you die it's over. But in reality the party is
just starting.
Something
that seemed to be on my mind a lot this week is that we (as members) are
constantly "on call". We
always need to be ready to help someone in need, share our testimonies, and/or
react to a certain situation. If we are not prepared Heavenly Father will not
bless us with opportunities to share the things we know or the talents we have.
We need to constantly look for opportunities to serve, share the gospel, and be
an example. People watch you far more than you think. Girls in long skirts
riding bikes and dudes in white shirts and ties seem to stand out a lot but so
do members of the church because they carry the light of Christ. We just have to look for ways to share our
light with others.
About the I
learned I am not very patient thing... we will just leave it at... I am not
very patient... in general... I need to work on it... prayers would be quite
appreciated. My prayers for patience are
not gonna do the job alone. I need lots
of help. Persistent patience. That's all. Just persistent patience.
welp, thanks
for listening. tune in next Monday at 10:45 (WA missionary time) for the next
update.
xoxo,
i love you all.
