#1. We got a NEW car. 2014 Toyota Corolla. Red. I love it. It had 90 miles on it when we got it. We are so spoiled.
#2. SHERRY IS QUITTING SMOKING TODAY! :D She had set a date to stop smoking on March 8th,
but had a very strong prompting to move it to today. She got a blessing
from the Bishop last night, and we're fasting today for her. Everyone
say a prayer for Sherry today! She turns 59 today, smoked since she was
11, and last time, she tried to quite, she literally had a mini heart
attack. She is so powerful already, and will be even more so very soon.
We made her spiritual cigarettes. We wrote
motivating scriptures and quotes on paper and rolled them up and made
them look like cigarettes for when she has the urge to smoke. She said
it is the best gift she has ever received. When we left, she gave us her
last pack of cigarettes. SHE CAN DO IT!
#3. Sidney, the over enthusiastic 18 yr old came to church and he's now ON DATE for baptism for the 15 of March.
He's awesome. We think he might have aspergers or something similar,
but he's awesome and has a strong desire to follow God and Jesus
Christ.
#4. Today I read the Story in Alma 24 about where
the Lamanites bury their weapons of war. It's my new favorite story. For
right now. It's so inspiring, and of course, i thought of Sherry.
Because she knows this Church is true, she is willing to give up
something she is so completely dependent on, it literally endangered her
life last time she tried to stop. What weapons of war do we have that
are keeping us from being closer to God?
#5. I'm a missionary! It's AWESOME! It makes it all
the hard times worth it when I get to hear things like Sherry testifying
of how she knows God will help her through this, or Sidney being so
excited he can't contain himself, or looking back and seeing how much I
myself have changed and improved. THIS IS GOD'S WORK!
love you all. Have a great week!
