Ya'at'teh' Everyone,
So I'll just start off with this cuz it is hilarious. Well, I thought it was at least. I'll talk about my son in a minute. But anyway so it happened a couple of days ago, and we were out trying to see some of our investigators who are on date for baptism. We had a little bit of extra time so we went to talk to some people we had previously met out in Smith Lake. So we get there and then this girl who was maybe about 13 came up to us and told us that everyone was intoxicated. So we were just like well, let's talk to some of them anyway. So one of them, (and Elder Henderson, it was Calvin Cleveland) umm he wanted to talk to us and he was talking about golfing and bull riding, and then showed us some pictures and what not. But I wanted to leave 2 minutes after the conversation started. So we were trying to leave and people do crazy things when they are drunk, so Calvin was like being all friendly and wanted to do a bro hug and stuff. But to my companion he got a little too friendly, and kissed his hand!! hahaha that was so funny! my companion was just disgusted, and I was like "haha that's your first Galani experience!" ( I don't know if I spelled that right)
But anyway so my son (trainee), his name is Elder Cox, and he is from Missouri. Everyone out here is like all excited cuz it is someone that isn't from Utah or Idaho. Cuz I guess us Utahans and Idahoans aren't that great. But it's been good. He is a really great missionary, and I feel honored to be training him (he doesn't need a whole lot of training, he is a stud). But here he is...
Oh and another thing... Do y'all see that dashing haircut I have? Yeah I did that! :) I picked that up from Hudak! Love you buddy! But yeah that was about all the excitement for the week, but for a spiritual thought...
This comes from either Mosiah chapter 3 or 4 ( it is one of the first few chapters in Mosiah), and it is when King Benjamin is giving his address to his people. He talks about how we are all in debt to Heavenly Father for everything he has given us and everything he has already done for us. But he says that we will never be able to repay that debt because even when when do what Heavenly Father asks, He just gives us more. I don't think that Heavenly Father wants us to repay the debt, because he knows we can't but he loves us so much that He is willing to give us so much more for doing what He asks us to do even when the things he asks us to do are small compared to the blessings He will give us in return, and I know that to be true, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
I hope y'all have a great week!
Love Elder Takis
