Oh Brother!


So this week has really been awesome!  A whole lot better  than last week that's for sure!  My new little friend is Sister Carlson and she's from Provo, 19, and very sweet!  This week we've been tracking like no other, but it's great because we've found more people to teach!  On Saturday we went to see a part member/less active family.  The wife was raised in the church, but hasn't gone in 21 years.  So we went over to have a lesson and this guy was well to sugar code it- a jerk.  He wouldn't let us talk and when we tried he would just talk over us, so that was not fun!  He also bashed the church and all I wanted to do was throw a Book of Mormon at him, but I thought Jesus wouldn't throw a B of M at him so I shouldn't either.  We tried to bear our testimonies and in the middle he would start talking and kept saying you can't know something is true without seeing proof that it's true.  I just kept thinking to myself, "oh ye of little faith."  He said he didn't think that God would answer him but he would pray anyways so I thought God works according to your faith you dummy.  Well I kept those thoughts to myself even though I wanted to slap him.  That was the only bad part of the week and everything else has been great!  We are teaching a whole lot and trying to bring everyone closer to our Heavenly Father.
Last thoughts for the day-  2 interesting things I thought about this week:
1.  We can better  teach the  Godhead by remembering God the first is the creator, God the second is the Redeemer and God the third is the witness.  Cool way to look at it.
2.  So you know how in the Book of Mormon all the rad people are totally ripped?  Well the reason they are that way is because the muscles are the strength of the spirit.  If you think of evil King Noah and his fatness then it totally makes sense!
Love you all!
