How much does a chimney cost?
Nothing
It's on the house
HAHAHAHA
Now that I've got your attention, this was a great week! We got our second vaccine on Thursday and I'll be honest it destroyed us. I'm already terrified of getting shots due to my fainting but it's for the good of mankind and now we'll be able to spend more time with members and friends! The next morning I could hardly get out of bed and we did planning while I laid on the floor. Elder Mak and I were very sore and sick, but we powered through and taught some lessons, gave a training, and I gave a 15 minute talk on Sunday about God being a God of Miracles. We work through the pain here.
I had written a six page talk for Sunday, and was pumped and ready to go Sunday morning. I went to church with Elder Rideout and there were so many people there! We were also allowed to sing hymns again and got to stand and sing How Firm A Foundation Together! Elder Rideout and I blessed the sacrament and then heard from a member of the Stake Presidency who set apart a new counselor in our branch presidency. After, I went up and practically abandoned everything I wrote except the principles and scriptures and followed the spirit for 15 minutes. It was awesome, and afterward our branch leadership told me that it was an answer to prayer that I said many of the things I said which they knew would help the young branch members. Nothing better than to be guided by God to be an answer to someone's prayer.
Later on Sunday, our friend Wallace and his wife Marjorie brought over cinnamon rolls for us! So kind!
Well I've gotta blast, but I love you all and God loves you more
