Hey Momma!!!
Crazy that you only have Justin there now, how weird!! And now like Kara is able to tell me college stories this all feels so weird!! But I hope that it was a good week!! I really like the lesson idea you sent me about the word and then you had to use other word to relate it back to Christ!! You could just do like a principles thing and talk about how everything relates back to Christ and the gospel, and maybe like idk use some of the parables that jesus used as examples?? You could ask Bishop Murdoch too haha that is like one of his favorite things is finding stories and relating them back to gospel principles. When he sent me like a couple tips to be a good teacher that was one of the things he put!!
Sooo how is the new position at work?? Is it hard? Different?? blahhh it's so hot!! This internet place I'm in is without ac and I'm pretty much soaking... But anywayssss It has been a good week!! Not a ton of lessons or anything, but one of those weeks where I know I tried my hardest so I can't really be sad about anything! It comes to the point where you know Heavenly Father sort of does what he wants with the work, and we are here to do what He wants, and learn from all of it along the way!!
SO ya, we had this one cool experience though on Thursday! After 8 hours of literally walking around with nothing because everybody was rejecting us, we ended up talking to this man on the side of the road... He said that he needed help, and asked us... We said we had no money, cuz usually people just want money here, but this guys said that all he wanted was for us to carry water up to his roof, because his legs were injured and he couldn't. He said he had been out asking people for like 3 hours and everyone had said no to him... But we glady did it. (Tons of water!! But it only ended up taking like 15 minutes to hall up the stairs... An then he asked if we could teach him after!! It was really good and we had a super spiritual lesson with him!! Hopefully we can ,meet up with him again today or tomorrow and see progression, because he did say that he was interested!!
Well anyways, not many good stories this week, but that was definitely the highlight of it all!! Being district leader guy is alright... Idk its a lot of respoonsibility, but it´s not too hard!! I had my first district meeting last wednesday, and I feel like it was really good! I tried to teach them all that we should be more christlike, using some scriptures from the bible and stuff from preach my gospel! This week I guess I can tell you cuz you won't be there, but I plan on teaching and talking about the power and authority of our calling... It talks about it in chapter one of PMG and we are also going to read some scriptures I like!! Above all I want to study with them John 15 like verses 1 to 16... Which is really good on the comparison between the Lord and those who are his servants, or us pretty much! I like the comparison of the vine and the branches and how pretty much like how a branch of a tree can't give fruit without the base, neither can missionaries reap the fruits of their labor without depending on Jesus Christ in all that we do... It´s something that I was kind of hoping to like make a theme in all the meetings we have... Christlike Missionaries will get Christlike Results!! But I guess that can be applied to anything in life! Christlike people will have christlike miracles in their life, and everything will be good for them :) And then I definitely plan on sharing my fav quote with them, which would be the missionary comission... It's strange but like other people from other areas don't know it as well. Like I like that it's a thing we read weekly in priests! It definitely is drilled in my head now! haha
Hmmmm well ya that is pretty much everything I'm super nervous because in a week and a half, I think I'll have to give a baptisimal interview, and that is like a big deal!! You have to baically interview someone to see if they are worthy of everything!! ahhh That should be like a bishop´s job, but its the DL´s job for converts... We´ll see how it goes!!!
Exercise is going ok! Better than before!! Honestly more than anything though the amount that we walk is making me lose weight I think!! At least I feel like I am losing it, which is good because generally the person losing it is the last to notice right?? Idk... Gotta get back to that like college fitness level... Or at ñeast pre five guys job haha That place haha
Well I hope you have a great week!!! And that the new job goes well and that you enjoy all the Justin time you have!! Wish I could hang out with you guys too!! haha But they need me here... In like a year or so I´ll be there hanging out too! Happy anniversary!! Dad sent me your wedding picture and I though it was pretty awesome!! hha Well have a great week momma!!! I love you!!
Nathan
