Wow again another normal week in a day of a missionary. ( How's that
for an oxymoron) this week elder Bodtcher and I did a lot of service.
Pretty much the whole week in fact. We dug out weeds (reminded me of
my weed pulling days as a youth) we dug and leveled some ground in a
shack (reminded me of my leveling days in the chicken coup as a youth)
and we did some construction and building at brother raushes house
(reminded me of my building and construction days as a youth) it was
all very hard and long work. However the feelings we had after were
amazing. And one of the members fed us after and it was delicious.
General conference was of course incredible and I've noticed for some
reason it seemed a lot stronger than usual. I loved Elder Hollands
talk about motherhood. You mothers truly are incredible and us men
wouldn't survive without our mothers. Sadly I have not seen all of
conference because of the time difference. But I cannot wait for
what's to come. Also pray for our dear beloved President Thomas S.
Monson.
Spiritual thought/challenge:
During my week of service I had a lot of time to really ponder
something. I was reading in the scriptures about king Benjamin's
address and realized something. Right after his address everyone did
something rot away to strengthen their faith. We should do the same.
On a ,is soon you really discover who you are as a person. And there
are a lot of things I am discovering that I could definitely improve
on. Faith never stays in one place it is either decreasing or
increasing. Let's focus on the increasing of our faith. So my
challenge and Larry R Lawrence's challenge as well is really dig deep
and find something that we can improve on. It doesn't have to be a
giant complicated difficult thing. Remember all it takes is a seed and
our faith will grow. All we need is even a desire to believe and our
faith will blossom into a beautiful flower. Prayer earnestly to our
father in heaven and ask him for one thing we can work on. It will be
challenging but it is so possible we can do it! I love all of you and
wish to bare my testimony that I know our redeemer and savior lives.
The Book of Mormon is the most true book on the earth today. Joseph
smith was a prophet of God and we have a prophet today. Again I love
you all in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
