Family!
The last few days have
had some ups and downs.
Friday the 15th
Have I ever told you how
awesome the Church Bible videos are?! They are
my #1 favorite thing to be able to watch on Fridays! The Church was really inspired to make them!
I also introduced the
Life of Christ program to our Bishop! He
seemed excited about it, especially for the Youth! I just hope they put it on sooner than later,
because I’d love to participate in helping it works out!
Saturday the 16th
So yes, I crashed
today! It was funny!! (at least I
thought so!)
We went the G family and
had a great dinner with them! The
invited us to come back whenever! That’s
a very good sign!
On the way back to the apartment,
I got to the parking lot (the ground was wet because it was misting/sprinkling)
and hit some rocks at the same time I braked.
So now, I have 0 pairs of black slacks that don’t have holes in them!
It’s interesting how the
Lord helps His missionaries. After that
slide/crash, I knew I should be more hurt/injured. My belt buckle is scratched up, my IPod cord
is beaten up (It was in my pocket from earlier), my slacks got torn badly, and
yet except for a few scratches, I’m completely fine! Miracle right?!
Sunday the 17th
Church was good! S came!
That really helped! We actually
had a farewell talk for a kid who is going to Brazil! He talked about “lost sheep”, and gave a view
point that I hadn’t seen before. He said,
“We are all lost sheep, members and non-members. The ‘member’ sheep are on the correct path to
being found and they need to share the path with those who don’t know the way!” Interesting analogy!
“Family Fun Nights”: is a
new thing that we missionaries are doing a lot out here in the DC south
Mission. Pres Riggs came up with
it. We ask a member family if they will
do a FFN any night of the week. It’s
pretty much FHE but you have a 5 minute lesson & a 40 minute activity
instead of vice-versa. We then ask them
to invite a less active or non-member to show them the church can be fun too!
We are actually doing our
first FFN on Wednesday the 20th!
We are going t to the W family (oh, BTW, we can do anything except go to
movie theaters for FFN. That’s what Pres
Riggs said. He said that if they want to
play Wii Bowling then we can play Wii Bowling!)
We will be playing Super Smash Bro’s Melee on the Game Cube with them
and a less-active kid in our ward! We
are extremely excited!
Monday the 18th
Today was good! I emailed you, always one of my favorite
activities of the day and the week. We
didn’t do too much but it was good to relax!
I don’t have a Christmas
list…I’ll continue thinking! I love you
all!
I know this Church is
true! Jesus Christ is the Savior &
Redeemer for all of us. He loves
us. He answers prayers and He wants us
all to return to Him!!
