Funny: Finally scout camp planning paid off. We were asked
to do a little skit for the baptismal review for the Tuba wards. What did we
do? Superheroes! We became the super heroes Faith, Hope, and Charity (and Knowledge).
We taught the kids about the diabolical plan of Satan to prevent us from living
with God again. Thankfully God sent Jesus to show us how to get baptized and
for the superpower of the Holy Ghost. It was super fun, took me back to them
good old days, 8-year-olds and me think at the same level.
Spiritual: It's garden season baby! There are so many miracles that come planting gardens with people. We spent a lot of time this week with a shovel out there tilling gardens by hand. We did it for an older gentleman and it was great to see his attitude change. At first, he was almost hostile but by the end there were tears in his eyes of how grateful he was that someone would help him. We were able to set up a return appointment and now his whole family is interested in our message. Moral of the story, never underestimate the power of a few well-placed carrots and peas.
Where I am at: Up here in Tuba we have had short sleeve weather. However, when I was down in Polacca we received about 8 inches of snow. It was nice to see that water still can fall from the sky. We have had a great week and are excited for this next week. We have a lot of appointments with new people and finally have more than a day and a half to work together. I hope you all have a great week and stay warm.
Love ya
