Some of the highlights:
We knocked on this guys door and we tried to talk to him about family. But he's confused and thinks we are asking him to have more kids? So we're like no we're just talking about strengthening our families through Jesus Christ. So then we talk about family history and he says "I can't do family history because I'm a power ranger and I come from something else." So that's interesting.
We also met a Buddhist stripper.
We had interviews with President and Sister Marsh this week so that was fun. I love them a lot
We had exchanges with the STLs this week in Athens. I went with Sister Hoffman and we had a good time! We went to this members house for dinner and she made us the best tacos I've ever had. Man they were so good.
We got 7 new people! They all cancelled on us but you do what you can.
Also rush is this week. Yall. I thought the movies about sororities were exaggerations and they are not. Holy cow it's insane. If any of yall have seen that funny viral video of the girls with their heads in the door and they're all like chanting this weird thing. I saw that in real life. It's quite the experience.
It's been really hot this week. We went and volunteered at these gardens on campus and we were working in the green house and I've never sweat that much in my life.
Also we had dinner with these sweet roommates that we tracted into. It was so fun. They are pretty strong in their faith but they fed us tacos and we just chatted about faith and gave them some Book of Mormons to read.
Also I had tacos 3 times this week and I am so happy about it.
Our district talked about accepting service from people because it makes them feel good. So this week anytime we've been offered water we accept and it's been awesome. We get some great conversations out of it and we get some cold water so a win win honestly.
Sunday was interesting. Sister Trussell and Ferris talked, Sister Nielson played piano, and Sister Nielson and I taught relief society. So we ran the whole show.
In relief society we taught about the talk "careful vs casual" by Beck Craven. And I really like her quote. She said
"We do not lower our standards to fit in or to make someone else feel comfortable. We are disciples of Jesus Christ, and as such we are about elevating others, lifting them to a higher, holier place where they too can reap greater blessings.
I invite each of us to seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost to know what adjustments we need to make in our lives to be more carefully aligned with our covenants. I also plead with you not to be critical of others making this same journey. “Judgment is mine, saith the Lord.” We are each in the process of growth and change."
We should always remember that we are disciples of Christ and we are supposed to stand out. As we pray and seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost, we can find those things that we can be more careful in living and keep us snugly on the covenant path.
I encourage all of you to pray and ask for that guidance.
Have a great week!
