Monday we got to go to Old Navy and I got 2 super cute dresses so I was very excited. And we got to meet with Michael before FHE and had such a spiritual lesson. We read through 3 Nephi 11 with him. This is the chapter where Jesus Christ come and visits the people the the Americas. And it is the most spiritual chapter. The spirit was the strongest I've ever felt in a lesson.
On Tuesday we had district council and we talked a lot about Christlike attributes. I've been going through the ones in Preach my Gospel and learning more about them and trying to figure out how I can better develop them. And it's something I really recommend. There is an attribute activity in Preach my gospel that helps you evaluate where you are at and the things you could do better. It's been a really cool experience.
Wednesday started off pretty rough with a lot of cancellations and people not wanting to talk but it really turned around. It was freezing cold but I got my big coat so I was pretty warm thank goodness. But we were not feeling very diligent because it was cold and nothing was going right but we decided we needed to go tracting still. So we went and we were able to teach this guy that we met last week and we got 3 new people to teach. And then we knocked on this door and this guy told us that he really wasn't interested in hearing our message but asked if we wanted some hot bowls of chili since it was so cold. So we got 2 bowls of hot and delicious chili. Such a miracle.
We also met a law professor on campus that stopped us and just wanted to talk to Kanye. He was telling us how amazing his new album "Jesus is king" is and how he's really changed his life around. He said he thinks we will probably get a lot of people that are interested in our message because of Kanyes album so. We will see.
On Thursday we met this really awesome guy Jacob! We stopped by his apartment to visit 2 of his roommates that we have been teaching and we met him and he was very open and we've been able to teach him a couple times.
We went back on Friday to teach Jacob again. We were talking outside in the rain because we weren't able to go in since a woman wasn't there and he was so happy to just stand in the rain with us and listen. And then his neighbor, Russ, came out and joined us and listened to the rest of our message. It was really amazing to get to teach both of them. They are awesome.
On Thursday I got a call that I'm going to be training! It's pretty scary but pretty exciting. So on Friday we went to trainers meeting. I learned a lot there.
Then yesterday I got the call that I'm going to be training and whitewashing at Kennesaw State University. I was pretty shocked. And it's pretty scary. But I know there is a reason I need to go there and I'm excited. Obviously God wants me at college because I'm just going from one to the next. But I'll be leaving UGA tomorrow and heading over to Kennesaw so it will definitely be an adventure.
I wanted to share this scripture about gratitude. It is Doctrine and Covenants 78:19
"And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more."
As we are grateful for the things that we have, we will be made glorious. I believe that gratitude is how we touch heaven. So just remember to be thankful for everything that you have been given.
