Week 68, January 4, 2016, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi Everyone!!! 

this week was good.  I saw a miracle this week:

I FINISHED THE BIBLE!!! THE WHOLE BIBLE!!!!!  IT TOOK ME ALL YEAR BUT I DID IT!!!! :DDDD yay!  

So that was pretty awesome.  it was kinda a slow week.  its hard when everyone else is still winding down from all the holiday stuff, but we were able to still have some good visits.  There is an older lady in the ward who's memory is going, and she really wants to remember to read her scriptures, so we went over this week, and read them with her.  she marks a LOT!  I was reading a talk today about marking scriptures.  ITS PERSONAL REVELATION!  if you have an Aha moment, something makes sense or stands out to you, that it revelation from the Spirit.

I have really learned the importance of taking time out of your day for others.  there are SO MANY people here who are just LONELY.  if we would all just take a little time out of our "busy" schedules, we would really just re-prioritize and reach out to those around us more, and we would all be so much happier.  (its funny though, even the lonely people think that they are too "busy" to be visited)

we have been helping a member get to the temple!  her husband is not a member, so we are trying to teach them both, but is been interesting to watch his gradual progression as his wife prepares, and as he sees that soon she can go, but he won't be able to join her.  hopefully that might change his mind and soften his heart a little more to the joy of the temple.

we were inside new years eve, which was good, and it was nice, because it wasn't loud or anything.

Sister Short and I got to bear our testimonies on Sunday, and we also were able to participate in the 12-13 year old Sunday school class.  it was super fun to be around the youth.  its fun to think about how they will grow, and how strong their testimonies can become.

I hope you all have a great week, and a good start back into normal life.  we get to drive all around again this week, for exchanges, and going to Elko to meet with Elder Lynn G Robbins, from the
Presidency of the Quorum of the 70.  it should be a great week!
