So this question was asked before Elders Quorum on Sunday, about who you'd rather be kidnapped by. A poll went around and a dude explained that Pirates would probably be the best because you'd have the most insurance since they want to get ransom. While aliens are just going to use you for science experiments. But then I said it would be Ghosts aka spirit angels. Because if God is sending angels to take you back to Him why would you say no, and if they are evil spirits then you can just cast them out.
Who do you think won the debate?
Gatorball - this made up game, mix of handball and soccer. The funny part was Niven sitting on the stage got hit 3 times. After each time he moved to a different spot and each time he got hit. It was kinda funny. Don't worry, no headshots
Baptisms for the Dead - so the night before Azalee had spiraled very low in her mental/emotional well being, because she liked my companion and we set some boundaries in place to make sure things didn't get out of hand. She got embarrassed and yeah. The next day we try talking to her and she is doing slightly better and decides she's still going to the temple. It was a great time and afterwards she was back to her normal self. The temple is awesome
Apts stuff - so long story short. They got this better apt and we're going to go live in it. It's really nice but they are only keeping it until the lease ends in August because they're supposedly going to charge an extra grand. Seattle is crazy. Would not recommend living here, even if you're not broke because it will make you broke.
Jeff - Jeff is the best. For context. We helped another person move in and being a young single adult you'd think they wouldn't have much stuff. And compared to a family moving, she didn't. But she also has no experience moving. Luckily her parents were there to help, hence Jeff. But this girl, living by herself, had a king sized bed and a 7'6" couch. The bed wasn't too bad, but the couch took an hour just by itself trying to get up the stairs and into her apt. That whole time, Jeff was cool, level headed, and figured out all the angles. All while carrying the majority of the weight. I aspire to be like Jeff. Don't worry Dad, I still want to be like you too.
Last group Run - with all the students leaving that also means our running group has come to an end. We decided to go on one last run, also our longest. And as a departing gift, Kayla got us both American Rompers. They are amazing. I even saw someone take a picture of me while we ran. It was great. I loved it and now I'm going to wear it next p day
Temple Trip - anotha one. I love the temple. Our president is trying to have us go once a transfer and that is the coolest thing ever because there's no better place to be. Just getting there early and reading the Scriptures inside is a better experience. I encourage y'all to go
Spiritual thought -
Moroni 7:41
"And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise."
We talked about hope with one of our friends who felt life was harder than it should be with the Gospel in her life. And so we talked about how to focus our hope and let it light up our whole life. First comes knowledge, without understanding the Atonement of Christ there can be no hope. Faith is also necessary. Not only understanding but believing and trusting in it. With that knowledge and faith comes Hope. If you'd like to feel more hope in your life, I would implore you to study the Atonement of Christ and pray for the Spirit of God to confirm its truthfulness. It will change your life.
I love you all. Here are pics
