Monday we got to go to
the temple! So good! So needed! I miss going to the temple every week!
Then we got to go to Fred's house and Chet (the Less Active member that
we've reactivated) came with us. We had a good lesson. It's amazing to
see Chet help us, because he knows the gospel and he fills in the parts
that we forget or otherwise miss. So nice to have him there!
Tuesday
we got to go see Tonya and go chop some more wood for her. I really
enjoy chopping wood! Then we got to go see Lloyd, an excommunicated
member that is getting REALLY CLOSE to getting back in the church! It's
amazing to see how much the gospel means to people like that!
Wednesday
we were out walking around and this guy and his cousin were out working
on their fence and he started talking to us. Well, we gave them each a
Book of Mormon and offered to come back later and help with his fence.
We then had to go to a lesson. We watched the John Tanner Story with
them. The husband, non member, said, "I see all of these people getting
healed in the movies but is it really real? My wife has been having some
serious back and hip pain for several years and no doctors can figure
it out. Could you heal her?" wow..... Well, I told them how blessings
work and asked who they would like to give the blessing. They asked
Elder Martin and he gave an amazing blessing! The Elders Quorum
President and the High Priest Group leader went over later this week and
she told them that her back and hip are feeling better than they have
in a really long time. Talk about having faith, and the husband isn't
even a member! Later we go back to Daniel's, the fence guy, and help him
out. He really appreciated it and let us talk to him about the gospel.
Thursday
after District Meeting we had interviews with President Batt. I love
that man! He is such a good example! I can go and talk to him about
anything. Later that night we got to go on splits. I went with a member
and finished a movie with a part member family.
Friday
was fun... We went and helped Daniel again with his fence. Well he need
us to dig some holes for his fence posts to go in. They need to be
about 18 inches deep. Oh, and it's all rock below us... So we used a
small concrete pole and a small hand sledgehammer and were chipping away
at it. Well it was almost time to go but we had the idea to go and grab
my maul because it was bigger and heavier. So we did. We started using
it and it worked pretty well. We then got it in the ground pretty good
where it would stand up by itself. Elder Martin suggested that I just
try and hit it as hard as I can without him holding it. "Ok, sounds
good." lol..... So we just slides back a little bit and I go for it.
Well, I make contact with it but it came out of the hole, end over end,
and hit Elder Martin straight it the face...... DON'T WORRY! HE'S
OK!!!!! See picture to see true damage. :) Well after that we decided to
go for a walk. I am still convised that God has a good sense of humor.
We start walking and after two minutes it starts to pour! I mean pour!
Well, we keep walking and we walk for an hour and a half. We had one
lady pull over and give us this nice looking flower umbrella. So the
funny part is about two minutes before we get home the sun comes out.
lol. :D All well. It was a lot of fun. My feet got a little discolored
from my shoes/ socks. :)
Saturday
we did some more service for Daniel then went to a fireside in
Bloomfield were this guy played the piano and talked about the power of
music. It was really good!
Sunday we got to do sharing time in primary which is always fun! :)
So that was my week! Hope you all have a great one too! Hagoonee'!
