Hi. Blaine rocks. Lots of stuff here's the highlights:
Wednesday - we ran this morning and had a pretty great district council. We celebrated E. Wilson's birthday and I made tres leches for that. It was really funny because once everyone was done eating. E. Wallace tried stuffing the rest in his mouth. That guy has got some talent.
Sandra - so we went over and had a visit with her and her daughters and it was pretty funny. We talked about faith and tried to see where they are at. The mom has a belief, but the daughters are more into the activities right now. But not a problem with that.
Cunninghams - they are a recently new member family and they wanted to talk about temples and that's exactly what we planned on doing. It was pretty awesome.
Patty - She's super awesome and wants to be baptized. But even tho she is learning from us she plans on getting baptized in another church. So that's weird.
Ploghofts - old couple we did service for. It was disgusting. I found a dead rat that was basically mummified and then I had to pick up soiled pee pads and throw them away.
Hansen - She's an old lady who has started coming back to the church and had some questions. We met with her and she had a super awesome testimony of the Plan of Salvation. And so we just helped her connect some pieces.
Kevin - We taught him the Restoration and he really didn't get too much from it sadly. He's waiting for his sign and is reading the Book of Mormon and praying so I know he'll receive it, but I think he may be looking for a grandiose sign. But it'll work out.
Lewis - he hasn't been to church in a while and so we decided to pull up and say hi but it looked like they were having a party. So we weren't sure but they already saw us so we full sent it and they invited us in, fed us, and we talked and played some games. It was super awesome and was a definite miracle. We're going to see him again and I got this cool handmade spoon from it.
Garlicks - they are an older new couple, if that makes sense. The man is a member and the other was raised Methodist, but she would come every once in a while to church. Eventually she started reading the Book of Mormon with him and got all the way to Helaman, and then said she'd like to talk to the missionaries. Super awesome miracle, she's prepared and ready to learn. So that's pretty exciting.
Spiritual thoughts are going to be a bit short(maybe) and maybe repetitive. When I write these I look back on the week and see what stood out the most to me. This week I was reminded that this is the Lord's work and I'm here on His behalf. I heard this awesome quote from someone, "God doesn't take salvation lightly."
I thought it was super cool and it's so true. Another of my other favorite quotes is from President Nelson: "God will do everything He can, short of violating your agency, to help you not miss out on the greatest blessings in all eternity."
I love this. God is always there for you, no matter what, to get back to Him. He listens, He helps, He guides, He strengthens, and He blesses us so much. He cares for you so much and wants to help you, let Him. Pray to Him, turn to Him, follow His Son's example, and look for those miracles He has and will bless you with. I promise that as you seek Him, He will be there and you can feel His love and support for you.
I love you all and you have an awesome week ahead of you! Enjoy it
