This week has been a wonderful week. I hope you all are doing good back home. I have visited with a lot of different families that are starting to get things figured out with being in the house all day. One family said, " this has been the most my wife and I have spent together our whole marriage," that must be really quite weird for some. One family said that their kids now have time to jump on the tramp! I think it’s a pretty cool opportunity to catch up on some family time and realize what we have. I am doing good. It's cool for me to realize that I can keep myself busy and productive. I have learned the principal of time management which will be so nice when I’m in college and doing what I will be doing. Such an important lesson.
Spiritual Thought:
As we had our sacrament service and talked about the "come follow me" for the week. We talked about that mighty change of heart and what it was like for us. It was cool because a lot of you all know I love golf and I worked so hard at it. I ended up having one of my worst rounds of golf at state, it was very hard for me. But as we were talking that is what cracked my shell. That was the event that made me realize I wasn't all that. That is what helped me grow to become the man I am today. The question I have for you all is "what cracked your shell?"
I'm doing great out here. We got to go up to Charlottesville which is where the Blue Ridge Mountains are and SVU. No joke these are some of the pictures I took, it looks like Hawaii. We also got lucky and found a Raising Canes, ELDER HANSEN has never been to Raising Canes. We are working hard and finding new people to teach. In the mission we had 2 baptism this weekend. One of the Spanish companionships goes live on Facebook and does a Spanish class. One of their videos last week had over 40k views! We are doing great things in the VRM!! If I were a missionary that might get resigned to the States, you better start praying there is lots of work to do!
