Have you tried any noodles?
Are your primary kids getting baptized. How are things going with your companion. Did your other investigators make it to church yet? Questions, questions.
Story of the week....I was at Winco and the lady in front of me had this HUGE bag of dates. She was black and dresssed in bright clothes. I was curious and asked her if she was making something with them or just eats them. She had a hard time understanding me so I spoke slowly gestering with my hands. She said, "just eat". I asked where she was from and she said , "East Africa". I got excited and said I have a son on a mission in Kenya. She said, "me Kenya." I said you were in Kyambeke and she couldn't understand so I tried Kalunga Hills. That she recognized but pronounced it way different. Then when I said Kyambeke again she repeated it correctly. then asked "Vacation". So I said no Church missionary, again. She tried to tell me where she was from but had to pay and then I had to get my food. She did turn before leaving with the biggest smile. It made you not seem so very far away at all.
Weekly Quote: ( It comes an assignment to read all of section D & C 76. )
76:22-24 Was printed up and spread separately in tracts as a missionary tool. Wilford Woodruff upon reading it stated that it was "the greatest revelation ever recorded by man on earth. "
And although he had not yet met Joseph Smith it mattered not to him whether he was tall or short, young or old, long haired or clean shaven, he knew that the man who bore testimony in this revelation was a prophet of God.
Have a great week.
Love you exceeding abundantly!
