Southern BBQ


This week was pretty good! A little uneventful though. A few pretty
cool things happened! We had a ward BBQ which was good! Southern BBQ
is darn good. There were a ton of leftovers so we have a freezer full
of goods which is always good! We were getting ready to leave and they
just said: "elders here take to leftovers" so that was pretty nice.
There was also a cake auction for the Boy Scouts which was pretty
funny! The auctioneer was a bigger member and one of the cake was an I
owe you cake from his wife and someone asked him how big the cake was
going to be and he rubbed his gut and said "oh it's real big" haha. We
had to step out for a minute because we were laughing so hard.

Other than that a few cool teaching moments! We were teaching our
investigator who we almost dropped because he wasn't progressing. But
we had a way cool lesson with him. The Spirit was tangible while we
were talking and he just clicked with what we were teaching! It was
pretty cool and we will see how that goes! And he also said he has so,e friends he wants us to teach so that will be good hopefully!

That is pretty much all that has happened this week. I though a lot
about that picture that everyone has seen a million times about the
Savior knocking at a door with no handle on the outside. He can't
force himself in, we have to let him in. And it is so true. The Lord
knows exactly what we are going through and loves each of us
perfectly. And he knows what we need and has the comfort and strength
for us! We just need to ask for it! He is literally waiting for Is to
humble ourselves and ask! I wasn't so sure of that before myself. But
I would not be here serving if he didn't have that strength for me
when I asked. I have felt a mere fraction of his love and know I can
never fathom it. I love you all and miss you so much! Have a great
week!

"How often does that come by?"
"So often you won't even notice"
