Well this week didn't decide to slow down so hopefully next week
will. I cant believe how fast this month has gone by. Seems like yesterday we
were celebrating New Years and now we are almost three months into 2018!
This week was just like the others: Awesome.
Almost all of the lessons that we had with the members here and with others
were about what Elder Rasband had taught and how we can apply them into our
lives. Everyone really has seemed to take hold of the 3 things we should say
daily. Just yesterday I thought that the food one the top shelf was Elder Lloyds
that he left pero it was actually Elder Ebreo's! But because of Elder Rasbands
advice, after a quick "Elder Ebreo, Im Sorry, and I love you" he forgave me and
i replied "Thank you,"
HOW SIMPLE!
The members are also acting on the words as well. It through a rush of
urgency into the Stake that is so awesome. So many service projects have been
scheduled. A bunch of activities are being planned and more.
We dropped off Elder Lloyd Monday night so if im not mistaken he should
have already gone swimming by now and given his talk at church! Welcome home
Antarge Lloyd!
Elder Piad and Caballero were working with us this week which was pretty
fun. We have zone conference next week and a follow up training as well so Elder
Ebreo and I had to divide the work. I spent 2 days in the office running some
errands and finishing up all of the "Honey do's" but we also got to work as well
which was nice.
Tatay De Guzman, a member of the ward passed away last week so there was a
funeral for him on Saturday. It was a really nice service filled with almost all
of his neighbors. He was very known in his neighborhood and it was very nice to
see all of the support given.
Other than that, this week was normal. Normal sounds lame but its the
furthest from lame. I love walking house to house introducing the message of the
Restoration to people. I love it even more when we are able to share a message.
I am grateful for the help the Lord has given me as I work and also for the
strength He blesses all of us with.
I started the New Testament again marking all of the "commandments" the
Lord mentions. Ive been highlighting even the less known commandments "Repent"
"Follow Me" one of my favorites in Matthew "Let your light shine before men".
Its been cool to see all the things we are commanded to do. Not just the ten
from the Old Testament, but everything that he says, all His words are endless
and continue to be spoken through the Prophet in these times.
Ive come to really appreciate Doctrine and Covenants Section 1 Verse
38:
"What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and
I excuse not myself; and though the heavens and the earth pass away,
my word shall not pass away,
but shall all be fulfilled, whether by
mine own voice or by
the voice of
my servants, it is
the same."
I love you
all! Have a great week! And good luck to all those filling up March Madness
brackets!
