This week has been wonderful. We have had lots of opportunities to serve, to bless, to teach, and to find those willing and open to receive the "good news" of the gospel.
We volunteered at the local watershed alliance and picked up trash along the riverbank of a tributary of the White river. It was loads of fun!
We helped a guy put in trim work in a room of his house
We volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity
We taught some great lessons, and we felt the Holy Spirit carry our message to the hearts of those we were with
I went on an exchange with a great missionary named Elder Rodgers. He's from Washougal, WA and he's been out for about 3 months. We rode the bus to the library to do some studies and on the way, a lady asked him some very unusual questions regarding our salvation in the Kingdom of Heaven if we pass gas. She was very very interesting!
We played basketball with a part member family, and dug some roots into our relationship with them. It was a blast!
Overall, it's been a spectacular week. We have had ups and downs, but that is the spice of life. If it weren't for ups and downs, we would have all things "compound in one," not knowing the one from the other. How grateful I am that we have Jesus Christ, who is there for all of it, good or bad, happy or sad. He is our exemplar. He is our Savior. He is my Savior. I love Him!!
I love you!
