This week was a strange one. We had big plans to teach a
bunch of people but it all fell through when Elder Peck and I both got
sick. We layed in bed, sleeping, because we couldn't move. Then
when we got feeling better, Elder Peck messed up his ankle pretty bad, so we couldn't do much that day either. When it is all said and done, we
spent 3 days inside doing nothing but sleeping and reading. It was
pretty boring and made the days go by so slow! It made us really want to
go out and teach even more!
After we recovered, we went out and taught a bunch of lessons! It was awesome! We have been teaching a lot of investigators lately who
actually want to learn, rather than people who are just too nice to say
no to us, so everything actually feels worth it!
We taught on lesson on the porch of the Walker's house, because
there wasn't another guy there, so we couldn't go in. We set up two
chairs in their doorway while they had chairs all around their door on
the inside, it was pretty funny, but pretty cool too!
We also taught a lesson to a less active and recent convert family,
the Mallory's, all about peace and how true and long lasting peace only
comes when you put Jesus Christ at the center of your life. We then
talked about going to the temple and they really felt the spirit and
that they need to start working towards going through the temple.
This sunday we had regional conference where Elder Rasband and
Elder Hales spoke via broadcast. They talked a lot about temple work and
how each stone laid for a temple weakens the powers of the advisory. That's how it is with our testimony as well. The more stones we add to
the foundation of our testimony, the less power the adversary has over us
and the easier our lives become.
I am so thankful for all that the Lord has blessed me with and know
that our Heavenly Father is always there for us and will make our lives
a lot better if we just come to him. Matt :11
I love you guys and hope you have a great week!
