We helped our neighbor Delores put up her Christmas decorations this week. She likes to do it before it gets too cold and she needed some help. Of course we were happy to:)
We have a few ladies in the branch that are Phillipino and one of them fed us this week. Her name is Sister Clark and she is the coolest lady. So we had some Phillipino soup this week.
There are these bugs called asian beetles EVERYWHERE. I guess they bring them in from China every year to eat some other bugs and this year they are super bad! They look like lady bugs but they sting. We live on the third floor of the apartment building so thankfully we dont get too many in our apartment!
We were tracting this week and we found a house with signs that said, "There's nothering here worth dying for," and "Beware of owner." I don't think they wanted visitors.. I was hoping to be able to meet them but they weren't home:(
We were knocking doors another night and it was pretty dark outside. We knocked on a house that was a little creepy. We knocked once and then decided to leave because we were scared.. as we were walking away from the house I was a couple steps behind Sister Knight so I thought I would be funny and scare her. I grabbed her and told her to run and then started running too. We laughed about it later:)
I almost hit a deer this week. I thought I saw something a ahead of us so I slammed on my breaks and we barely stopped right before it. It was a close call!
We also had interviews this week with President Craig so that was awesome!!!
I have been out for 4 months now! Time is going SO fast it's crazy!!
I was reading in Alma 37 and I really liked it.. Verse 37 says, "Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good.." Then he talked about the Liahona and how they were directed the the promised land but only according to their faith and diligence. if they were slothful they did not prosper. Verse 35 says, "Just as surely as this director did bring our fathers, by following its course, to the promised land, shall the words of Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond this vale of sorrow into a far better land of promise." Just like Lehi and his family, we have so many things to guide us to a straight course to eternal bliss or a promised land. Just don't be slothful. The way is prepared and if we will look to God we may live forever!
Sorry for such a scattered email. Hope you all have a wonderful week!!
