Week 2

Ya'at'teh' everyone,

So this week I don't have a whole lot to report on.  It has been slow lately with everyone starting school and doing school shopping and all that.  So not a whole lot happened.

Umm on Thursday President and Sister Adams came to do interviews with our district, so our area got triple worked, which was good, we found some new people to teach.  Um but when it was Elder Cox's and my turn for interviews, President asked me about my haircut and if it was my baseball cut...  haha boy was he surprised when I told him what my hair was like during baseball season.  He isn't overly fond of that type of stuff, and I am pretty sure he is going to try and talk me out of the whole bleached, curly mohawk before he is done with his mission.  So we will see how that goes haha.

Umm another thing is that we did some painting for one of our members, and I really enjoyed that. Brought back home re-modeling memories.  But I loved it and got a bit OCD but it looks good haha.

My spiritual thought comes from 1 Nephi 2:16  when Nephi prays to the Lord to have comfort and to be able to believe the things his father is saying and doing.  Laman and Lemuel were murmuring and didn't care to ask Heavenly father if it was right so they never had a good attitude about it.  Nephi on the other hand, still had to ask Heavenly Father if it was right, because I am sure there were some challenging things for him to leave behind but because he didn't complain and looked to the Lord for guidance he was blessed, and he became so much more than Laman and Lemuel.  So that was my thought, hopefully it made sense.

Anyway, Love you all!
