10:30 we go to sleep
that is kinda what we do everyday but sundays and mondays and tuesdays are different just because we have other things going on those days. This last tuesday we were able to go the temple and i was mad because i had forgotten my camera. The lights they had put up for christmas was amazing. Wednesday we had an all mission conference. We had a devotional and then we had lunch and a talent show. People sang played the piano the guitar the yo yo rapped and then they had a play. The play was horrible but its all good. O and The guy we were rapping with finally came to church we were estatic. I am not sure if thats the way for all mission never mind yes i do and yes they are all the same. Our transfer just ended And we are starting a brand new one today. I am staying in Rio Vista and so is my comp. The rest of the zone is completly changing we have three comp. that are white washed out. Well i have to go at the moment i have to go to another appointment
I did receive the card from the stake presidency. It was weird seeing your signiture on everything. It was from the stake but with your signiture it sorta didnt if that makes any sesne whatsoever.
That quote along with what you said reminded me of a story i read in this months ensign. I dont remember the title but im sure you will be able to find it. Its about this family that is taking two of thier daughters to college. Well the van that they were driving had some problems so they pulled over and when they looked under the hood the engine was on fire. Everyone runs out of the van carrying as much stuff as they could but the fire spread and took most of their stuff. Well after the fire was put out they went through all their stuff to see if anything could be saved. The mother found her temple recommend in perfect condition. She kept worrying about the money they lost but when she saw her recommend she changed her perspective and saw it just as Robert Browning said, The best is yet to be. They also had a violin and they salvaged a hymnbook so while they were waiting for the tow truck to come they sang hymns. I really liked this story because you can see how people in such trying times can look to the lord and be comforted that all will be alright. They may have lost a few things but they didnt lose their faith.
Their was a family back in woodland that is the complete opposite of that family. They all use to be members but their daughter. They had their records removed and basically wanted no contact at all and if we attmpted to contact her or her family she would sue. Well the daughter loves the church. She is not a member but she believes the doctrine. Unfortunatly her mother wont let her join but she says that when she turns 18 she will get baptised.
I know i have a great mom.
It really is amazing how small things can do so much. I am currently working with a less active. She is not very social but she loves the bible. I have taught her twice once from the bible but last time i shared the story about the barges. She got so interested that she said that she plans to read the entire book of ether to get all the details about the event. She has not read the book of mormon for years and i am not to sure if she has ever even read that part. Who would of thought that that specific story would spark so much interest in the Book of mormon. She had told me before that after she analizes the Bible for the second time she would go to the BOM but this story, this instance basically put a fastforward button into play and she is now reading a part of the BOM sooner then she planned. Step by step i hope she soon starts coming to church as well.
I cant wait to see beccas room and see how much it has really changed.
Tell everyone I said hi back. O and a few days ago i was tracting in fairfield blitzing an area and i noticed an amazing horse sculture and i thought that sister wakefield would love it.
Love you too.
