Week 12. Transfer hit hard

 So this week was a huge punch in the gut. Lots of surprises and traveling. Here are the highlights:

Hochs - I've talked about them before, but this week brother Hoch bought a tens unit and Elder Fuluvaka had some fun shooting electricity into me. Then they gave us some money to buy ourselves dinner at a restaurant called Cozy's and I think it was the best burger I've ever had. 

Power out - Wednesday we had a power outage at 7 in the morning, so no breakfast. The power outage didn't really affect us because we spent most of the day on the main land because Elder Herbst had his Temple trip. But that night we had a lesson. And after we shared our Light The World message the power came on so that was pretty cool

Tiana - She's still the same but is starting to get an open heart and is going to read the Book of Mormon all the way through from the beginning so it'll be good. 

Gone or dead - Our whole ward council got together to go through the list of our 400 members because they wanted to figure out why only have 30 people coming. We only made it through half but this one lady nobody knew so I looked at our notes for her and it said Gone or dead. And I straight up just said that and everyone busted up laughing. 

Training - yeah, so I just got done with training and now I have to train. It's kinda scary, not going to lie. But there was an awesome devotional that morning that I'll talk about at the bottom. 

Seth - He came to church!!! It was the best feeling ever. He asked questions and joined Elders quorum and talked a lot. It was very awesome. 

So the devotional was bomb and I didn't even realize how much until that night when I got called as a trainer and I looked back on my notes for the day. And so I just wanted to share what I had written down from the three speakers and then how I put it all together 

1. The Lord makes up for our inadequacies. It's not what we can do, but what He can do. 

2. We are all children of God. We all have divine potential. Remember that, and find the strength from knowing who you can become. 

3. We become more like Christ by using His Atonement. Give your work to the Lord, and through His Atonement He can help us. 

Our inadequacies are to make us humble and recognize that we need Jesus and His Atonement, and that through Him and His Atonement we can fulfill our divine potential. 

I hope y'all know that, or can come to know that for yourself. It really helped me and I hope it helped you too. I love all of you and sorry for the late email.
