Sup y'all hope y'all are staying groovy. Let me explain the title a little bit. This week we did some things definitely out of the ordinary for us but also a lot of days it felt like we didn't do anything so it's kinda weird that I feel like I have things to share but also not really anything happened.
To start off Elder P got here. He is fitting in great here but I'm not sure he likes it all that much. He isn't quite as much of a sporty person as we are but that doesn't mean he isn't killing it in every sport that he plays. I've basically defined him as the most athletic unathletic person I've ever met. But we are getting along great, and its definitely fun to have things switched up a little bit.
On Tuesday we had a member ask us to come help destroy a shed she had in her backyard and I might go into demolition when I get home, it was a lot of fun.
We also had some super good lessons with L and I where we read the Book of Mormon with them. Something that I loved that they said was that "reading the Book of Mormon is like it goes along with everything we've learned in the Bible. And we always get a good feeling while reading it like I can't even explain." I love it because it's so true. The Book of Mormon is another testament that Christ is our Savior and the Holy Ghost will be there every time we read it. Another cool thing with them is that Lisa really needed a recliner because of her illnesses and we just so happen to have 2 so we were able to give them 1 which was such a cool opportunity to show our love for them and they were super grateful.
We also had stake conference this weekend and Lisa and Israel were able to attend over zoom! They loved it and they were bummed it was only an hour! They are super excited for General Conference this next week and if you guys have the opportunity, watch it! It's where we get to listen to the Prophet and Apostles of God talk about what we need right now. In other words, it's the coolest.
Finally we had a member randomly reach out to us today about advice for a friend who is really struggling. She told us that she actually was less active but wanted to come back and that her boyfriend isn't a member and she wants us to teach him! It was such a cool miracle because we have been pushing to work with part member families and Less active members to help them and their families receive the Gospel of Christ.
Last thing is while playing Volleyball I got stung by a wasp which was really painful and it made my whole thigh swell up. So in honor of it we watched the video of Coyote Peterson purposely getting stung by the Japanese Giant Hornet and the executioner wasp both of which seemed much more painful.
Other than those things pretty much nothing happened so it might seem like a lot but in the time of week it actually isn't. Love you all and I'm always praying for you. Stay brave, stay wild see ya on the next adventure.
