Gooood morning!
It's been another great week here in Minden! I mean, HELLO....... GENERAL CONFERENCE! I mean, really, is there anything better? I don't think so........ Conference was great, we got to watch it with some members of our branch in their homes. Which was funny, because that was my first time sitting on a couch for that long in almost two years 😂
I don't know if it's because I forget or what, but I know that all of those men and woman who spoke to us truly were guided by the spirit as to what to say. Man....... talk about powerful and revelant to our day. And on top of that, what's better than Elder Uchtdorf teaching about the plan salvation using the Hobbit! #secondbreakfast #tolkienforlife
In other news, we're super excited about this lady we're teaching named Dorothy! This week she made the mistake of googling "Joseph Smith" on the internet and got hit really hard by anti-material, and then the next day one of her neighbors starting bashing on her for meeting with us. But she told us the coolest thing during our lesson on Saturday, she said, "I don't care about all that, I mean people slandered Jesus. I need to find out about this book (the Book of Mormon) for myself!" YES! Yes, Dorothy! You go girl! 10/10 Beautiful! Perfect! Don't change a thing!
On top of that, on Friday we helped this lady dig up graves in this really old cemetary. That was fun. Well, technically no, but yes. We were actually digging up tomb stones that had sunk down into the ground, so we could record their names online for family history. So that was cool.... and dirty.
Also, we finally made it to Arkansas this week! The Minden Branch (where we spend all our time) only takes up about a third of our actual area........ we also cover this HUGE branch up in Arkansas, but we hardly go there because of how far away it is from us. But this week, we were working some cities up on the northern border of the branch, and we used it as an excuse to cross into Arkansas. It was fun crossing into the state again, because by first area was also technically in Arkansas. So yeah, that was good.
But all in all, life is good. Everyday, everyday, everyday!
Love ya'll!
Oh! One final thing...... I know Halloween is approaching, so just a heads up to those who may try to send me a package (you know who you are)....... NO CANDY! Send whatever you want, just no candy....... please.
