This week my companion and I were able to provide some good o service for the Green family. They're an English speaking family that we meet while we were out tracting. We just knocked on their house and asked if they needed anything. They needed some strong, young, good looking men dig some holes. We dug some holes for them because the mom wants a big huge garden in their backyard. The dad wasn't too fond of the idea, but he did what his wife wanted to anyways...it kinda reminded me of you guys haha. It was way fun getting to know them.
Remember that one guy Seth? Well...he's in a jail now. Kinda stinks. He was living with the Mahaffey family (they're members, and the dad totally reminds me of Jack Black. He acts and talks JUST like him). but anyways...he went out one night to go do some stupid stuff. Got drunk...went to a bar, got into a big fight, ect. so ya, he's in jail now. But he has never served jail time before. His dad, who lives in California, is loaded and always bails him out, but this time he's staying in there for a looooong time. Hopefully serving some jail time will give him a wake up call. That's what Brother Mahaffey even said. He was the one investigator I really liked to teach and talk to.
We've been teaching some more less active members. We've been trying to get to know them and spark that testimony they once had. There are many less actives out here though...and a lot of them haven't been members for too long.
Well that wraps up another week in paradise. OH! It's finally starting to get warm here. Yay. Kyle is going to Africa...sweet. Ya, i'll keep him in my prayers so he'll be safe lol. And I'm stoked that Rex is gonna put in his papers!! Man, he would be such a great missionary. I can't wait to see what awesome experiences he'll have. Gahhh...thinking about him makes me miss all of my O'fallon brethren. I love those guys.
Welp, have a super fantastic week! And if you guys are super bored, you can do this fun activity I'm doing. First, get a fresh new paper back copy of the Book of Mormon. Second, get some Crayola colored pencils. Highlight these 4 things in different colors
1) Each reference to Jesus Christ (any of his names or pronouns referring to him)
2) His words (spoken by Him or the prophets when they say, 'Thus sayeth the Lord)
3) His attributes
4) The doctrines and principles contained in the BoM
Your BoM will become very colorful and you will pick out stuff you never have before.
have fun!
