Hey Every body,
Scripture of the week: hymn 29 " a poor wayfaring man of grief" verse 7
Well isn’t Easter just such an amazing time of year. It’s so cool to just sit back and ponder on what it really means in our lives. I think Easter has become one of my new favorite times to partake of the sacrament just thinking of all of the symbolism is just amazing.
So this week was really just great. Things here in Bedford are really starting to get moving along. We had 2 new investigators this week, and we have potential to get a bunch more this week once we actually get to teach them.
We had an awesome lesson with one of our investigators. We committed him to quit smoking and he accepted. We had planned to go in and just say alright you need to stop smoking but the spirit prompted me otherwise so I asked a question I said " if there were one thing you wanted to get out of your life what would it be?" he replied "my smoking" it was super awesome he then ripped up his smokes and through them away. We decided that if he was giving up something that the two of us should give something up as well. So we decided that we are going to give up sweets for the rest of our mission. It’s so important for our investigators to feel our support as they make these big changes in their lives.
I’m so glad you have all gotten to see the Because of Him video (Click Link to watch) . It is so amazing. We have shared it with everyone we possibly could. Probably have told at least 100 people about it. Such a powerful message comes from watching it.
Thanks so much for my Easter package. My favorite part is the poster soon as I opened it I hung it on the wall above my bed, elder Holley thinks it’s pretty weird, but he will just have to get over it. I’m super excited to hear how all Utah goes. Sounds like Norma and cola have some pretty hot potential this year. Man I sure do love showing cows. It’s such a weird obsession we have but I love it so much.
We are trying to go to the temple next week so if all goes as planned I won’t be emailing until Tuesday so don’t freak out if I don’t get on Monday. I really can’t wait to go to the temple.
Had dinner with Wards sister this week she is such a sweetie. She took us to this really great place called T bones had some wicked good fish. Had Easter dinner with the Collette family, that was a good time, but I couldn’t help but thinking wow this is the last one of these in the mission field.. That is a weird thought, but it is also a very cool thought. I do however really want some of mom’s potato salad!!!!!
Sounds like the truck project is going really well can’t wait to ride in that sweet old thing. What’s the verdict on little red? Does she still live or has she finally bit the dust?? I always laugh when I think about that old truck I took that thing everywhere.
Well about out of time but I wanna tell you a funny story first. So before I tell you I have to mention that we live right in the heart of the ghetto so sometimes it’s a bit wild... the other night we are walking home from a members house with a glass pan of roast in my arms and this homeless guy sees us and comes right at us I was like whoa bro back up off me he kept getting in our faces, he was wicked drunk and was going off about how Christ isn’t real I was getting really fed up and he was still up in elder holly’s face so I thought to myself alright if I goes at him more ill just break this pan over his head.... well as awesome as it would have been to do that.... I didn’t have to waste our roast and the drunk guy didn’t get knocked out. It was a good time though.
Sure do love you guys
The church is true and the savior lives never forget that
Hold to the rod
