Alright this was a bit of a slower week, but still a good week. So #eskettit
So we finally got to meet with this investigator, Paul Taylor. He's not "new" but he has been traveling for so long i have never met him. So all i knew about him was that he has read the Book of Mormon 13 TIMES. THIRTEEN. Thats more than most members if i dare say lol. But man, this guy is a top bloke. He believes and likes what the BOM teaches, but i think he is struggling with his conviction that God lives. He said he got "the religion beat out of him" when he was younger so organized religion is tough for him to understand. But he is so awesome he took us out to lunch just out of no where after our lesson! We're not trying to push this guy too hard, i know there is the right time for him.
We had interviews with President Saturday which was awesome as usual. Then Sunday we had Branch Conference. President Vidmar came to it and spoke which was really special because he doesn't make it up to Albury much!
Done a little service this week. I fixed a tire on a members trailer that had a slow leak. It was funny, i told her a bunch of options of ways to fix it and what not. She wanted a whole new rim and tire. I explained that wouldn't necessarily be the best. So she said "just act like this is your trailer, and do what you would do, i trust you more than myself." So i took it to a tire shop and it ended up having a bad tube. Good as new.
Thats about it this week, FRIDAY Elder Neil Andersen of the 12 is coming to speak to our mission! So we are all pumped for that!
Spiritual thought: Mosiah 2:41 "And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and ahappy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are bblessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out cfaithful to the end they are received into dheaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."
This, to me, is a really uplifting and reassuring scriprture. It gives me a reassurance that blessings will come if we are obeident and work hard. This is different for everyone, gaining a relationship with God will make us more willing to do according to his will.
Thanks so much everyone for all support I would love a write(; Till next week. #eskettit
