Happy times of fall

 

A friend of mine sent this to me this week.  I thought it was great.  We live in a time when so many are turning away from Christ and seek answers in the world.  The truth is that we will only find true joy and happiness through Jesus.  He is the Living Water, the Breadth of Life, the Bread of Life, and the Light of the World.  When we follow Him, we can see our way through these dark and troubling times.

I love to hear Hermana Lott practice the piano.

Sister Lott and all of her crazy socks- cats !!

True motherly love

I am Hermana Lott's exercise buddy.  This is true sacrifice on my part because I hate to get up early, do not like cold weather, and I don't like to exercise.  She is worth the sacrifice.  I look forward to Sundays when she doesn't have to exercise.  Ha ha

This is Adam's idea of following along as we have family scriptures.  Ha ha.

lunch at Pizza Pie Cafe. 

 Hermana Lott used to work there and we took her back one last time before she leaves.  It was fun to be together as a family.  We missed Alex's wife Kelsie, she had to work.

It’s been another week already!! I only have two weeks left! A lot has happened this week but this will still be a short email. I didn’t have enough time to write today. It’s been a pretty busy day. I went to Pizza Pie Cafe for lunch today with my family. I saw some of the people that I used to work with and that was fun.

Spiritual:

-I did two TRCs in Spanish this week. It was really cool. Hermana Stewart and I taught a guy called “Octavio.” He was really nice and sweet. He tried to say things with words that we would understand, so we weren’t totally lost😂🙂. We taught him about Heavenly Father’s love for him, about prayer, prophets, and the Book of Mormon. We challenged him to pray and to start reading the Book of Mormon. It was really cool to see those phrases and the Spanish that I knew would come to me when I needed it. We were able to answer some questions that he asked that we didn’t prepare for. My teacher Hermano Mansfield gave us some scriptures about the gift of tongues. (Work diligently for it-2 Nephi 25:23, Believe it- D&C 90:11, Be worthy of it- D&C 46:9 & 33, Seek it- D&C 46: 30-32, Love the people- 1 Corinthians 14:12) They’re really good scriptures. They can be related to receiving any gift of the spirit.

-I am seeing the Lord bless my efforts because I am being strictly obedient. Getting up early and exercising aren’t things that I like, but I am still doing them. My studies and what I’m learning is sticking better. I am also seeing gifts in my life and I’m more happy. I want to help others, serve, and learn as much as I can. I am also more grateful for things in my life. My parents have sacrificed a lot for me, and I am so thankful for the things that they’ve done for me. My family has been such a great support to me. Love you guys!! <3

Funny:

-I got out of a one-on-one with Hermano Mansfield and everyone in my districts’ screen was upside down😄. It was super funny because Hermano Mansfield and I were so confused. So, we both flipped our screen 180 degrees and then I took a picture of it. 

-When I was doing companion study with Hermana Stewart our screens froze and wouldn't turn back. On my screen she had her tongue sticking out😂. She said on her screen that I looked like a scientist contemplating and thinking about something while pointing at a board.

-I have a spider in my room. I took a picture of it and cut my finger while doing that. That was pretty funny. Everytime that I remember to kill it, I am in class.  So, it is now my pet spider.😁 I named it Aragog (if you get that name I will be so happy!). Now I’m not going to kill it and every time I see it, I laugh.😂
