November 18th

So this past week has been good. There were no tornadoes hear in Leitchfeild, however there were many warnings all across the mission. We were wise and used the car rather than the bikes.

Ok I won’t send you the turtle shell without warning maybe the rabbit skin instead ... consider warned ... of both I LOVE YOU. Mom you’re the best!

So I went to a revival that was fun awesome music, when ones music choice is limited on a mission. It was a wonderful different experience that I don’t think I’ll repeat. Maybe later in life kind of like mac and cheese I try it once every few months but I’m still not the biggest fan.

Driving this week made me think about the many many things I have done but don’t really want to do again and the many things I would like to do again. When we look back at what we have done do we really want to go back on that time line? If we go back we would eventually get back to the point where we want to go back again and again. Is that not a circle? That circle is not progressing. It’s traveling without a compass

Many many times we get stressed. It’s part of life that is a time of which often we want to go back them "good ol days".

Yes its gr8 to use past experiences and other points of references but use those points to get the right track and move forward. Don’t go back to them good ol days go forward to the better and the best days. God gave us the vision of what we can become which is the best of the best it’s something to be grateful for.

Also this week I was curious about what the voice on my GPS sounded like because it’s been on mute for the past few months. Michele (the voice name) sounded ok so I listened to the other voices and Pauline and Francis did not sound as good as Michele so I kept it the same and it’s still on mute. Thinking about this I thought what did I just waste that time for? Yeah curiosity did not kill the cat it was defiantly being bored is what I learned.

My other thought was a wonderful one it was to relax and have fun with whatever it is we do when we’re relaxed. We can’t do everything we pray and ask for help we still have to have the faith we will receive that help, and have our priorities straight so we know where to put our energy!

For example our shower in Leitchfield is pretty decent however as soon as the sink or the washer is going it sucks. It rains harder than our shower if any other water is running. However when the water is the only outlet it’s amazing.

It’s the same with life when we have our priorities straight life is pretty good but with even the slightest distractions life can be found as miserably. The way and the only way I know of as an eighteen year old is to put that focus on God and put our trust and faith in him.
