Man it was an interesting week for sure out here.... The baptism didn't happen.... J didn't tell his wife they
were just going to go ahead and do it, but she found out because we asked her if
she was coming....We thought she knew but
I guess not. She wants him to try her church first and
then go to ours if he doesn't like it. He told us it won't be too long until
he's baptized.
We had interviews with President this week. We had a
real good talk about prayer! I asked him, "You have a lot of things to pray for.
What do you pray for?" He told me in his morning prayers he tells God what he's
planning on doing and for help to do them, during the day he prays for continued
guidance, and at the end of the day he prays accounting for what he did, what he
didn't do, and asks for help the next day. He told me he was talking to a member
of the 70 who said he would pray pray pray, then at the end of every prayer he'd
say, "Bless mom, dad, Aunt Sally, the cat, the dog, and the bird." As he got more
experienced he realized that he needed to make it more of a day to day
conversation. "Does the cat, the dog or the bird need anything that day? What
are Mom and Dad up to that they need help with?" He said as he did that his
prayers got more day to day and more meaningful, making our Heavenly Father more
of a Father than a wishlist. I thought it was a great insight!
The
snow and ice made it here quick... It was 75 degrees on Monday and now it's in
the 20s and there's snow everywhere. Weather sucks. Haha
There was a funeral for that man I told you about last week. Boy oh boy did
that make me think. I was so happy for him to be done with his hurting and
struggling and next step- exaltation! There was something someone said about
him, and it made me think really hard about my life. They said, "If ever there
was a warrior for the Lord, it was that man." He was a remarkable man! LDS Funerals are really cool experiences! It was very enjoyable! That's
weird to say, but true!
Have a good one!
