This week was sweet! We found this kid on the street about a week ago and started to talk to him and he knew a lot about church history! We set up a time to come back and teach him more and he gave us his address and everything! So we went on a few splits this week and one of them I was with an elder in our district and Elder Peterson went on splits with the other Elder. The day we were on splits we went over to the kids house and before we could even knock on the door he opened it and his mom and brother were there! They were super nice and let us in and we got to teach them part of the restoration and set a return appt! It was sweet! They seem pretty promising! Their names are Yvonne, Shayne, and Jeremy. The name Yvonne reminds me too much of the comedy skit where the guy is like can I have yo numba? Can I have it? Anyway... on to the more spirtual side of things!
This week's studies were pretty good. I love studies.i was readi g in 2 Corinthians 9 and in verse 6-7 it says: "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver" When I read this I was chastised by the spirit! I realized because the spirit taught me that I could and should be a more cheerful giver! So i am working on that. I feel that when we do things just because we are supposed to or because you're expected to you'll get burnt out real quick. You won't have happiness or joy if you just do it to check the box. When it's something you do and not just your head but your heart is in it too then we can truly be happy. Then we can progress. Another thing I learned again was set goals that are measurable and that you can track on a daily basis. We are starting another Book of Mormon Reading challenge! I'm excited! There was a cool event this week called the march back. Cadets march 12 miles from what they call beast. It's like a super hardcore training camp and it was cool! All the members were watching so we just walked up and down the street and talked to them all! I have pictures but I'll send them later! I love you all!
