This week was pretty uhhhh average haha didn't get hit by a car, didn't get any chew spit on me, no dogs biting, no pouring rain or deadly lightening.. just lady bugs in the apartment.. that's it. We have no idea how they get in here but they sure are fun to flick off the walls haha it's funny.
ANYWAYS! Monday was the best pday I've had in MONTHS! Played ball with the elders in Madtown and let me just say this.. I'M TERRIBLE! haha okay not terrible but man, there was a lid on the rim! or I've been out in the sticks for like.. almost 6 months haha all good though, went and hooped today at the park here and found it again, it was fun! Our whole branch basically works at Lands End headquarters and they have really nice courts there so we are going to start playing on Tuesday nights! I AM SO EXCITED!!! The members here in Dodgeville are SO AWESOME!
Basically some cool stuff that has happened this week was Zone Training meeting. Elder Foster got a migraine half way through so we went to the chapel and I studied some of the BoM. Got subway after, that was tight haha.
We went and tracted on Friday and it went really well! We knocked on this old ladies house and she came out and said how tired she was and how much work in the yard she had to do! I was quick to say "Oh that's not even a problem we're going to do it for ya!" She was more then grateful! Plus, I mean it was only raking leaves and her yard was pretty small so about 10 minutes later, we knocked on the door and taught the full restoration! Went pretty well, me and elder Foster are going to keep going back on the regular and rake her leaves and shovel her driveway when its time. Her name is Arlene by the way.
We had branch conference yesterday and it was pretty good! All of the stake leadership came to "The Lodge" and we had a good conference! Still haven't had a regular church meeting in Dodgeville.. it will be a month before I do! haha it's all good though! It's the promised land! I love it here! After branch conference we had a feast! It was wonderful. I love home cooked food:)
I honestly can't think of anything else, sometimes these weekly emails are just basic, I'm sorry! haha but hey! something really cool has been happening to me lately and I want to share it as my Wise Words from Wes today.
This past week, in the mornings I was feeling uneasy and pretty stressed out for some reason, who knows. Anyways, I noticed a couple weeks ago that I had been leaving the book of mormon out of my studies. I had just finished reading it two times in a row and wanted a little bit of a break. I remembered something I used to do which was to pray with real intent for God to reveal the truth of the Book of Mormon to my soul through one of the fruits of the spirit, specifically Peace. Without fail it has worked when I diligently studied the book. I also prayed for specific verses to stick out to me in my current situation that would give me comfort and it did. Doing this has strengthened my testimony so much so I have to share it with you all. If you haven't studied the Book of Mormon for a while I'd invite you to do so but to first get on your knees and pray for the spirit to manifest the truth of it to you through one of the fruits of the spirit. I promise you that each time you do this with real intent, your testimony of Jesus Christ will grow!
Love you all, I hit a year mark on Friday so on Friday think of me cause I'll be lightin up a shirt!! haha I'm so excited! Hopefully gonna make it a blast!
Have A Happy Day!!
