This week has been GR8!

This week has been gr8 yes I have indeed been thinking a lot. Sadly I will not be able to receive an air hug from the Higgins because we’re in different zones sorry... 

But today at zone conference I got to see elder clement and since we were waiting for the people we road with. Our assignment was to clean the building. Once we were done I saw him again putting away the vacuum, so I took it to put it away and might of stole credit from him.

Speaking of people here from back home in my last area I forgot to tell you I met a sister missionary from Pendleton she knew nola and went to BMCC small world.

So this past week I got to go on an exchange with a black person it was a blast we got a turtle out of the shell. I almost made turtle soup but some time when you bless food in a prayer it still does not protect you from stupidity, a 3 week old dead turtle did not seem wise. This made me think a lot about how amazing god’s creatures are so many parts all working together to provide a way of life I’ll send a cool photo of it later maybe 

Also maybe I’ll send a package to someone with the photo and the shell after I preserve it its super cool.

So in the south the drives are beautiful and the roads are gr8 when we drive over the rolling hills at night sometimes the lights don’t hit the road till your right there. And its pitch black till you get there. Faith and life are the same way we don’t really know till we get there we don’t know the car will turn on till we get there for some people that come into the gospel they don’t know it’s right until there in the water till there a member for some time but we will know if we keep progressing forward 

Also this week I gave like a 20ish min talk in church with a 10 min prep lol forgetting stuff is wonderful and communication is gr8. 

I have heard we learn English to communicate from a person I consider a friend ... I should probably learn English better. And I might need to learn southern English ... also maybe Leitchfeild English... 

 At zone conference today we heard from Elder Pino who is a member of the 70 

I still have a 3 and half hour drive back to Leitchfeild today from here in Clarksville... It’s so "wonderful" I love the sticks! 

 Elder D Perry 

We need to not forget to relax have the faith to keep moving forward and trust god.  We need to not forget Christ was all of the Christ like attributes and follow his example he turned his will to the Father shouldn’t we?

 

True Genius = Book of Mormon

Ummm so this week has been fun elder S is going home tomorrow but I got to see him at our stake conference. And say good bye it’s interesting to see him go needless to say it seems so bitter sweet it’s odd. Also this week at stake conference it was amazing to see people that I help teach be there and have a stronger and stronger testimony and see their life improve dramatically it seems. 

In the scriptures when Ammon is rejoicing after seeing his brothers who were at one time the vilest of sinners  he rejoiced with them seeing and hearing of the strong faith that has last over time. When we see our friends and family have stronger faith or their life improve it’s a reason to rejoice, it is a wonderful cause to rejoice 

I think someday when we meet god again in person, we will see him, rejoice as he sees our success and our stronger and stronger faith. 

So here in Leitchfield we spend a lot of time driving walking and well time to just talk and time to think. On one such time I got to thinking about my personal progression and improvement...

Each week as missionaries we get to hear from our companion our strengths and our weaknesses. I was thinking about all these strengths and the weaknesses that I have been told about and have worked on. It was amazing how every so often a once weakness that I was told about a while ago, is now something that is a strength. It’s amazing to me how when we are informed of a weakness it can become a strength. As we work on it, but when the weakness is gossiped about or not addressed it can become worse and destroy a person. With sincere prayer we can always do the very best and have the best thoughts and best language ever. 

Leitchfield is awesome I love the people here just as my past areas!

ps some thoughts 

The brain named it self. 

Beverly Hill Billy’s is not a documentary...

An ellipsis is placed when part of the statement is missing 

My last thought is a mind blowing one: 

True genius is the ability to explain a very complicated thing so simply anyone can understand it.  Therefore the book of Mormon I believe is true genius, and the most true genius thing ever. It must come from god because if the very personal aspect of it and how it is so universal.
