August 4, 2014 Week 56

Well it sounds like Eli and Joel are having some fun!! ohh yeah baby football!!! uhh i kinda miss it.  The fundraising no. haha but kinda the conditioning!   We played early morning soccer on Friday and the temperature reminded me of football in the mornings...except the humidity was way different!!  

This week was great!  We had interviews with President this week.  It went great but I have a feeling that I could be staying in Purcell for another transfer after this one-- that would be until October ahhh 9 months in the great Purcell!  But who knows what can happen.  We did talk with him a little bit after and learned about the iPads that are supposedly coming this year.  It will be crazy!  I can see positives and negatives but I guess we will see what happens! 

Last Wednesday was probably one of the slowest days of my life!  All of our appointments fell through and no one was answering the door.  Ohh well I guess that just happens sometimes.  But that is why we have harmonicas to cheer us up after.  We have gotten pretty good, it is easy just to mess around and figure out hymns!  

We had a great lesson with the Hoffmans this week.  They said that it was and answer to their prayers!  It always make you feel good when that happens, I guess they really wanted to have their kids included in the lessons and what better way to do that, than to start from the beginning!  We were also able to bring the young men's president with us so that made it even better!  He was able to invite all of the kids to the Wednesday activities and I think the Hoffmans are going to make them go!  So we taught them the restoration, but we did it in a different way.  We first watched the first part of that mormon message with the rock climber and asked them throughout the lesson to think of ways that God helps us.  Then we finished by watching the rest of the video!  It went really well and it was a different way to look at the restoration. 

From the restoration we can see 
1) God loves us and wants to hear from us through PRAYER
2) God loves us and blesses us with FAMILIES
3) God loves us so he gives the world PROPHETS 
4) SCRIPTURES

There are definitely more points than that but we focused on those 4 and it was good because they remembered them throughout the lesson!  and of course baptism was a part of it!  The Hoffmans are doing really good!  They have been fellowshipped like no other and everything is going great!  The only thing with them is their disk golf but that will eventually change!!

Well missionary work is great... so just do it...
