Keeping the law.... Keeping the law....
For Behold... remember that work that was about to come forth among the children of men?... it's here.
This week was epic/fail. or Epic+fail.... Monday was a volleyball game... the rest of the week was downhill from there.. It appears I have strep or a sinus infection again.. so that's fun.. BUT! It was a holiday week and miracles happened regardless of my innability to function! God IS a miracle worker.
-Brother Pipkin is progressing still! He came to church and we had a really powerful lesson about commitment and Christ. The level at which he commits, is the level at which he will recieve help. So, he's really changing and gaining a strong testimony. It's spectacular how well he has progressed. Still reading, still praying, still coming to church, and striving to keep the Word of Wisdom.
-The Yosts were taught and had a good lesson.. I did not attend due to infectious illness... BUT! Elder Fuku had a great opportunity to teach with Elder Woodruff, who is a good guy. The Lesson went well, he forgot to commit them to come to church-- no harsh feelings. haha they're still good people.
-The Burmese had a ton of food donated to them from a ward member (sister Wie as usual) and Thanksgiving was saved. It's working out pretty well, we got them a copy of Confrence in Burmese and.... we're really hoping to get something started.... it's crazy.
Thanksgiving was good.. we spent it with Sister Wie and Dennis, didn't eat turkey but had prime rib... pretty good stuff. I really tried to be super thankful this week and remember all the things everyone has done for me.
SO--- I was assigned to talk in church in the topic of Charity. I found some great stuff in the ensign... from Elder J-R Hollands. He is the man. THEN... I prepared to speak on and challenge everyone based upon the Scripture in John 13 and famous primary song, "by this shall men know ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.." Basically having the statement that one of the best ways to support missionary work and to help, is to practice what we preach. AND ACTUALLY LOVE ONE ANOTHER. .. So I was excited to share this idea, and testimony.. and then on friday we got a call that said they double booked and I was no longer 'on the hook'.. .. not going to lie, i was relieved and let down. haha... The Church continues to be true and I will not speak.. Fuku did get assigned to speak in a couple weeks though.. that's good.. haha ..
Well, I'm struggling to remember information to tell you.. mostly because the week was spent laying down mostly.. I do love you all so very much.. and realllly want to hear from you. SO write meee... You know the address.
