This week we did some service for this lady all the way at Denare Beach (look it up if you can it is awesome ! after the mission that would be the place I would go visit ! ) anyways I did something that I did not know was a thing... a ruff rake (it takes all the snow off of the ruff of the house) maybe I am the only one who did not know that but it's true... There is SO much snow here... we needed to take all the snow off of the ruff and move it out away form the house to help prevent water damage so we made a path through the yard so we could take the wheelbarrow there... The snow was up to my hips ! at some places.
Oh funny thing about doing that it was what we would call a Hot day (4C or 39F) and we started off with our jackets on and gloves but by the end we were just in our white shirts and bare hand doing all this snow removal stuff.
This week was kinda long though all of our investigators kinda fell off the map it felt like (no they just could not meet this week) so we had only 2 lessens this week so that call for a lot of tracking ! (yeah tracking is my Favorite thing to do haha no I would not call it My Favorite thing but there is not a lot of other ways of finding street contacting is not to good because no one wants to be our side haha and we only have like 25 members(including kids) so we can't do member referrals. all the time so we can't come up with anything more to do so that is what we do (OH so if anyone has any ideas I would not be made if you send me some ideas ! haha)
Well thanks for all the Love and support ! I am doing good up here. Just doing my best, Thats all we are asked to do right ?!!
this sunday I also gave a talk on prophets so if you want to read it here it is if not you can stop here. 👍 _____________________________________________________________
Much of my life I have been involved in many diffrent sports. From golf and soccer all the way to football and Lacrosse.
No matter what sport you play they All have somethings in commen. The first being practice, practice is were each Player on The team, No madder The skill Level, size or strength goes each day to learn principles. Let's take lacrosse for example (My favorite) some of the skills we learn or try to improve on would be passing the ball, running, and shooting. All very important to the game of lacrosse.
The next each sport has in common would be a coach. A coach is someone with lots of experience, tips and insite to the game. They are here to teach the players and give them guidance, not only in practice but during game time.
Which leads us to the next point I would like to talk about, game time. Every sport must have this. Game day is the time when all of the principles and skills are to be tested.
Well brothers and sister we are in a game of life "For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God"
Here at church is what I would like to compair to practice, "we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ". Church is where No madder our "Spiritual" skill Level, size or strength each sunday day we get to come and learn and Practice principles of the Gospel, such as "Charity never Failith" we learn how to "bear one another's burdens, that they may be light" and learn how to Look to Christ at all time, in all things, and in all places.
We all know this life is hard. We each have different trails and changes, our Heavenly Father is aware of them. He Loves us and does not want us to face these spiritual and physical trails by our selfs walking in the dark. "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the Prophets"
We have been give help so don't have to walk aimlessly walk in darkness. Modern-day prophets are modern-day coach's someone with lots of experience, tips and insite to the game of life, but I will add they also they receive Devine assistance form the greatest coach of all, our heavenly father.
Prophets are the Lord's mouth peases. That is why we need them in our lives today. We are so lucky that we live in this great day and age.
Brothers and sisters we have the blessing and opportunity to hear from these prophets in a couple of weeks. I would like you to think, what did I learn last general conference? Then may I add, did I apply the teaching of these men? Did I treasure these talk that were given? Did I use the coaches advise? Or did I chose to walk by my self neglecting words of the Lord's given servence?
Yesterday as Elder Craven and I were nocking on doors. A man opend up and we started on a conversation of Faith, and what faith is.
He compared faith to a young child. A child learning to walk reaches up in complete conference to his father and his mother holding on to their finger for balance.
Spiritualy When we get older we no longer feel the need to hold on to that finger of our Heavenly Father.
King Benjamin states
"For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father."
When we listen and follow the guidance of our Heavenly fathers Prophets we are reaching up and holding the finger of our Heavenly Father, knowing and trusting He is there for us. "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."
Living Phropets are here to bless and guide us. I am grateful for their love to all of us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
