11/3/14

This week was really great. Started out the week by being told off, but you know what, I needed it. So, it really was great. I also learned a lot from the experience. I learned that the Atonement is there for more than we think. I learned about the love of Christ. He sees us as perfect, so why should we look for others (and our own) imperfections? Dont look for them. Look for the good in everyone. Because there is good in everyone. If you're having problems with your spouse, its probably because you are looking for their imperfections. Same with your children. Or co-workers. Lets just love everyone ok? Ok.

Now, lets talk about someone special. The family we found a very short while ago. Well, Thursday, we visited them. We had a wonder discussion, and then they invited us to dinner. And they were super happy! It was WONDERFUL! Then, Saturday, it was stake conference, so we invited them to go! They jumped up, took a "bath" in perfume changed clothes and away went went! They were so excited!! Well, we got to the conference, and it was the worst thing anyone could have had investigators in. They talked a lot about "numbers." Like, how many baptisms, and referrals, and it was a lot more like a stake training. It was awful, for the people we brought. They DIDNT go to church the next day. But Sunday, we had lunch with the bishop, and we were talking about what happened. He said, Lets go visit them tonight! So, in the night, we showed up. Well, she was in tears and her children weren't home. She was bawling and super depressed. So, we talked to her and tried to help calm her down. Then, the bishop gave her a super powerful blessing. Then she was a lot better. And to end, we sang abide with me tis eventide. When we were going to leave she kept saying, I don't understand, you always show up in the MOMENT I need you. It helped me to see how important time is and how important it is to listen to the spirit and follow right away.



I sadly am out of time. I dont know where the time went today... But, I hope you all have a wonderful week and look for the bright side to everything! If not, you will be choosing to be sad. So, make your choice! Love you all and wish the best! :D Hope next week to hear I have a second nephew in the world!! :D
