So I kept forgetting to write this sorry. Here's what happened:
Temple Trip - another one! I love going to the temple. It was Eddie's first time and it was so good. He was able to perform baptisms for the dead and use the priesthood which was so awesome. Afterwards we went to Deseret Book, love that store, and I watched him get excited about buying his own scripture case and temple recommend holder. It was great.
The Goodbyes - First was Amy, it was so cool to see how far she has come since I've been in Blaine. Second was Buckners and Tatum, crazy but fun family. Third was Kevin, I have high hopes for him. He's been close a lot of times, but then gets in his own way. But as I said bye he was super committed to trying to be consistent in turning to God. He's a cool guy. Fourth, is Dynel. Our short stop turned into an hour talk. She's so fun and I'm going to miss those porch chats. She made me a going away gift. Fifth was the Cunninghams, they are a great family. Sixth was Alana and Tasha, they made brownies and bought me peanut M&Ms for my birthday. They're awesome.
But the best end to my last day in Blaine was trying to Perm Elder Harmons hair. It didn't turn out too good, but it was hilarious.
Transfer Day - crazy time. I'm now with Elder Harkness in Mt Vernon. We were MTC Comps and now we are back together again. I'm also in the area right next to an old Companion, Elder Hansen. It's pretty awesome.
Rest of the week - has just been a blur. Trying to get to know everyone, new district, awesome area, fun p day, and apparently I'm giving a talk next week so lots happening. Sad but excited for the change.
Spiritual Thought - well because it's Thanksgiving that this is going out, I'll put a plug in for gratitude. My Dad always told me that attitude changes everything and that only I could choose how I felt. Granted he usually told me as I was angry so listening was a bit hard. Lol. But we are asked to give thanks because it changes our attitudes to be better. When we are grateful it's hard to be mad, sad, despairing, ect.. instead we feel peace, joy, love and happiness. He wants us to thank Him because He knows how gratitude can change someone.
Tonight try a gratitude prayer, be sincere, and afterwards think about how you feel and I promise that peace will be one of them.
Love y'all here's the pics
