This week started out great and ended a little bit of a struggle... Rick has really been excited and determined to be baptized on the 24th, he's been doing great with giving up tobacco and........... Saturday he sent us a big long text saying that he needs to take a break =( my heart broke, but i know that he has felt the spirit and that he has come closer to God. I hope and pray that someday he will come back. And a bunch of other things that ya'll don't need to hear about... i still have faith! I didn't for a second there... i was SOOO frustrated with all that was going on. I just wanted to quite... BUT God never fails to give me renewed strength to make it through the next day. I'm so grateful for the atonement and the strength God gives me to endure.
On a happier note....... Sister Rogers and I went to Denny's to make some phone calls, it was around 8:30 pm.. and there were these 2 old grampas sitting across the way from us. We smiled and said hi and exchanged a few kind words. Then after they finished their food they came up to us and said " you know i usually don't tell everyone this but, the ONLY man i would trust with my wallet would be a mormon man". I am SO grateful to be a member of this church! To be apart of something so great. This church is truly lead by Jesus Christ. Someday those two old men will go to the spirit world and they will accept the gospel i know it! I love old smiley (not creepy) grampas =) Those guys made my night!
Emily Got her temple recommend! I was so excited to see her holding that piece of paper! she LOVES the temples and is so excited to go inside =) i wish i could go with her! Maybe next week i will get transferred to Redlands and i could get permission to go with her!!!!! that would be a miracle.
I have a testimony of Obedience. I know that God can ONLY bless us when we keep his commandments. Everyday we are pretty much choosing... do i want blessings? or not...? some choices we make only effect us for a short time... but other choices can effect us and others eternally. We are down here on earth to learn to make good choices so we can receive the blessings that God wants us to have! Trust me... I know that sometime we just DONT CARE, like me... Saturday night... But we need to remember that our choices and our level of obedience usually effects others not only us. As we are obedient we are allowing God to bless us and others. Obedience brings blessings..... Exact obedience brings miracles! it's your choice. what chew gonna do??
