Scripture of the Week: 2 Nephi 22:2, D&C 24:11
Sounds like it was a pretty good week on the homefront. Any week that includes a bit of clipping and cow showing is a good week in my book. I cant believe it is already september. Yall better make sure and take plenty of pictures of the shows over the next few weeks. I still have a need for my cow fix. Dont worry though its a healthy addiction... healthy addiction? yea that makes no sense at all, but oh well. Im excited to hear how the shows pan out.
Sounds like church was good as well. Im so glad you had them speak on the need for sr couples, boy do we need them so badly, i know my mission needs them so that means the whole church needs them just as bad. Everyone who is able should go. A mission is one thing that i can say no one will ever regret doing. regardless of age or shoe size.
Sounds like it was a great week for dad with baby Ashty, i dont know what he did to get her to like him so much, but wow he must be paying her under the table or something. Ha just kidding, im sure he is a wonderful grandpa. That is one thing i am definitely excited for is meeting that little girl. Dont worry though i am not trunky, no time to be trunky, to much to do and not enough time to do it.
Im very excited that Zadee has flushed so well. cows like her are really what make this whole thing all worth it. I have had so many good times with that ol girl. Ive been showing her for a Loooong time. i still remember winning jr champion with her clear back in heber days. That was a long time ago. Gonna miss showing that old girl, but it sure had been a good run.
We had a lesson on the creation is sunday school yesterday and we were talking about how Heavenly Father created us all with different likes and dislikes, and then he created things to meet all of those for us. That is just one example of all that he has done for us because he loves us so much. Hopefully Jordan is able to do some good work on Norma so her Legacy can live on for a while as well. We've gotta work on getting some more heavy hitters in the line up when i get home.
Well as for my week... Oh Maine, where to begin.... Did you see what i did there i said oh Maine instead of oh man.
Anyways Maine... It was another great week. always full of new adventures, doing service in really gross houses knocking on lots of doors. Working with some really great friends. It is so rewarding to work with missionaries i had in my zone before and see how much they have changed and grown.
My favorite exchange of the week was with Elder Jessee. He is the one that you met his parents at the Wilkeys thing. We got a ton of work done and it was just great. We set out to contact a Less active and when we got to the address we found it to be a trailer park, and we didnt have a number for what trailer, so we went to work. 62 white trailer doors later we did not find the guy we were looking for, it was great.
So with all of our exchanges and all we have to get done when we are home, we had about 2 hours to work in our area yesterday, but it was a very productive 2 hours. We got a media referral for a guy. So we went to contact it, and he is so solid. He is one of the most solid people i have met since i have been out of my Vermont. Just a super solid guy, he let us in right away, we taught him the restoration, accepted the moroni challenge and an invite to the JSM. Super awesome guy. A great miracle.
As for this week... we are wroking in Gardiner Maine, August Maine, Damariscotta Maine, Yarmouth Maine, and Saco Maine. When we get back we have planning meeting with president to prepare for MLC next week. And at MLC we will be preparing for the general authority that is coming week 6. Elder Larry Wilson of hte 70 will be here. Because he is coming week 6 we are prepping transfers week 5, so the next few weeks are going to go so fast that they might as well be over. Itll be great though. sure do love you all.
Hold to the Rod
