Hey Everyone,
How
is the weather back there in Idaho? Its been a little cold the last few
days. For Pday yesterday we went bowling. It was pretty fun to be out
bowling. We weren't in shirts and ties and it felt so weird. My first
time in Public without a shirt and tie in 7 months haha! Then we went
and played basketball at the stake center. Pday is always a pretty good
day.
We had a good
week last week. A lot of walking. We figured we averaged about 10 miles
of walking each day. Its hard because we have scheduled appointments and
then any free time we spend walking from place to place. Its okay
though because we have the car this week so we should be able to see
more people. Its crazy at how easy I took things for granted back home. A
warm car is such a blessing.
We
were able to see some fun people this week. We are teaching a man named
Doug. He is 24 years old and is really intelligent. He is a great guy
with a lot of questions. One nice thing about Doug is he isn't trying to
prove us wrong he is just honestly looking for the truth. Usually
people with lots of questions are trying to prove us wrong he isn't. He
asked a cool question this last week. He said "If Joseph Smith was an
inspired man and a prophet wouldn't he have found the errors in the
bible and corrected them?" We were like yeah that is exactly what he
did. So we showed him the Joseph Smith translations and he thought that
was cool. Its great to see how the spirit can work on people to convert
them. If you get the chance listen to a talk by Dieter F Uchtdorf "Come,
Join with Us". Im so grateful for the opportunity I have to be a
missionary and serve people here in Iowa. Transfers are coming up next
Thursday February 26th and chances are Elder Sessions or myself will be
getting transferred, but who knows! Have a great week! Be safe and Love
you all!
-Elder Lords
