Fun quote: "I might could if you learnt me how!"
Hey all!
Where to begin?!
Oh I know! How about the Lord stretching me and putting me
in situations to help me grow? Yeah. Okay. First of all.
Playing piano at district meeting. And relief society. And
Primary. ... Primary?! Yeah. Primary. And singing in Sacrament
meeting. *and* singing on Thursday at Zone Conference for
Elder Kopishke. The General Authority. Yeah, that guy. Super
stoked!! :) I just know that Heavenly Father is blessing me...
because there's no way these fingers could plunk how I plunked
on Sunday. (And believe me. I was plunking, haha)
Earlier on this week, we got a call from Sis R. that said
that she had good news (woo hoo!), that she had invited some
ladies to church... and that on Sunday morning she was gonna
go over to their homes and make sure they were getting ready
for church before it started. What?!? :) It was so special!
(Also. FHE at their home was great. I'm so excited to do it
again tonight!) We've been texting Sis R. every day reminding
her to say her prayers and you would not believe the
improvement we've seen in that wonderful little family. They
really made church a priority on Sunday! ....until a skunk
sprayed their 2 dogs and 17 cats that morning and they
couldn't even open a window or door without gagging! (welcome
to the South...) Sister R.'s only comment was, "I know God
created all things... but when he woke up this mornin to the
stink of that skunk He must've said, "I made a bad decision
when I created that one!!"" Haha. I love her :) The branch
President wanted to meet with them, so they came a few hours
after church when they could make it out of the stench
barricade, haha. :)
Oh yes. And Elder Cook!! It was so good!!! I just wish I
could copy all my notes and somehow send the Spirit we felt
there! :) It was so wonderful. I loved singing the opening and
closing hymns with such great power of 2 missions! (The
Georgia Atlanta North Mission and the Georgia Atlanta
Mission.) I totally saw Sis Amanda Fee there. :)) One of the
things that stuck out to me was this quote, "Thank you little
black name tag for giving me license to have intimate
experiences with complete strangers." At the very end, he left
us a promise that what we're doing here will bless us,
everyone that we do love, and everyone that we will ever love.
Wow. What a blessing. I didn't know it before, but I really
needed that :)
Sunday was branch conference. It was all about families and
I loved it. I took lots of notes for my "future journal" :)
The Stake President focused on being a little better in Relief
Society. He said that he'd been thinking and something that he
could do is being nicer to his cat. "Will that keep me out of
the Celestial Kingdom? Well. I don't know if cats will be
there anyway..." Haha.
I love y'all!! The church is true!! :)
