My
favorite part of the week is that we also had our primary program yesterday.
Meredith had a part in it (The girl we just baptized). I don't know if I told
you her story. Her mom is a member that had been less active for a while, but
now they're back in the game and are ready to go.
One challenging thing is that
we don't have a ton of investigators right now that are progressing quickly. We
have a few that are crawling along, but it'll be a battle for the next
little while.
This week I was reading the war chapters in the Book of
Mormon and I enjoyed reading again the epistles between Moroni and Pahoran when
Moroni didn't receive the expected troops and provisions that he'd requested.
The epistle from Moroni has several parts that should grab the attention and
call to action anybody who is just going through the motions in a church
calling instead of working diligently. The attitude of Pahoran on the other
hand teaches us about how to react when we are falsely accused. He let the
false accusation go and calmly explained the situation while even saying that
he admired the greatness of Moroni's heart in being so concerned for those who
were at war.
Something really funny happened this week. I even remember telling
Elder Shumway that I would write to you guys about it, but I forgot what it
was...
One little tender mercy this week was that I got to do splits with a
missionary that is in his training and it was a big help for me to see all the
energy and good intentions that he had. It was cool to hear his story of how he
prepared himself to come to the mission, especially knowing that it was all
recent. I also got the chance to answer a few of his questions about the
mission so I got a tiny little "training" experience this week.
This
week I ate a meal that seemed pretty healthy so that would go down as the best.
Love
you,
Elder
