Wow this week flew by, its insane!
I’m getting more comfortable and I am getting super deep into the Book of Mormon. My “ponderize” scripture this week is Alma 37:6 It’s really good and I almost have it memorized. It talks about how small and simple things bring to pass great things. So, I think about reading the scriptures, prayer, church, etc. Mostly it makes me think about a quote my MTC teacher said " obedience brings blessings, exact obedience bring miracles" and I really think this is true especially if you add faith and diligence into the equation. Another slightly related quote I heard from Elder Clark ( who was in my MTC district and also lives in Washington) at a recent zone training went some thing like this “knowledge plus experience equals wisdom”. I really love that because as I learn during my study time then go try to teach and live it I become wise (which seems like a stretch but I think it is happening hahah.)
We have a baptism in 6 days wooohoo! (she was already taught all the lessons by the elders before me) It should be good and she even gave me a card and princess balloon for my bday it was really nice.
The weather is back to hot again so- yippy -and it is now “suit season” so, we have to wear suits if its under 70 but we don't have a thermometer so I never know what the temp is so we just wear them anyway and its so hot. No, I haven't gotten my suits dry cleaned there is no dry cleaner anywhere near. I just wipe of the dirt paw marks from dogs with a wet rag it seems to work pretty good. I am recording on the usb recorder you sent. Its so cool. I also recorded an elder singing in stake conference which was this week. It was really good. The conference topic was conversion. I think it was super applicable to us missionary's. The talks about how they got converted where amazing. BTW a talk that everyone should listen to is "the conversion story of bill carpenter a catholic priest" Hagoonee (Navajo)
love you bye- Elder Roskelley
