When I first came out, I thought that we were coming out to fight the devil and all the evil in the world. But the longer I serve and study, I really feel that it's more about fighting the evil that is in ourselves. If we can empty ourselves of that evil, and tame our own devils, we will make the world a better place one person at a time.
This week was pretty blah. We had a district melt down. You put a bunch of 19 and 20 year old boys in charge and it's bound to happen. It's all about being able to communicate with each other. We got it all solved but it was so tiring. Drama! Drama! Drama! ha-ha.
We had some cool stuff happen. Kim, a lady we met at an antique store (she's the owner) invited us to the grand opening of her new store. She's so cool! She is doing her hobby for a job. I felt so special being invited. We don't ever get to go to stuff like that and it was a personal invite! We couldn't make it--stupid mission boundaries! We are going to see her later this week though and see how it went.
The Lord puts us in places to help others. Yesterday we had dinner with the whole Douglas family. It was so nice. I felt just like family and that I belonged for a while. We came home and were talking to some of our neighbors. One of the girls always has a nurse with her. She started to have a seizure. I took the dog's leash (they had just gotten back from a walk) and they got her all taken care of. One of the ladies commented about how it was "perfect timing" and "thank heaven that we had come when we did."
It was a pretty good week. We saw a lot of less-active people and members took us to do it. The work is starting to pick up even thought the numbers aren't showing it but they can't record everything! I hope this week goes just as well!
