Some pretty sweet shades Elder Rush
Hello Everyone!
"In other words, true and perfect worship consists in following in the steps of the Son of God; it consists in keeping the commandments and obeying the will of the Father to that degree that we advance from grace to grace until we are glorified in Christ as he is in his Father. It is far more than prayer and sermon and song. It is living and doing and obeying. It is emulating the life of the great Exemplar."
How are you all doing? Hopefully life is not too crazy!
This last week was quite a handful!
We had planned to go on exchanges with the district leaders in the zone this week! They are all serving in Shelley, a small town that covers a LOT of farm Land! Monday night I went down to Shelley and was with Elder Tidwell for the day. I was suppose to return home that night but decided to stay in Shelley for 2 more days due to more exchanges and district meetings so I missed my bed. Finally I got to sleep in it on Thursday night! YES! Since we were not really able to do work in our area in Idaho Falls most of the week, we were lacking in lessons. SO over the weekend we worked extra extra hard and taught 16 lessons in 3 days. Usually we are able to teach 20 to 25 lessons a week! It was pretty amazing.
Yesterday we took a recent convert, named Brian, with us to some lessons. We were in his house talking about missionary experiences and how people treat us. As we walked out to our car, this guy tried to scare us as we crossed the street so we just smiled and waved. He drove away and came back, rolled down his window and just goes off on us. Yelling and cursing up a storm. Typical experience for us but Brian was pretty surprised. SO that was what made it bad. Next we were able to give a sick sister in one of our wards a priesthood blessing and you could see how appreciative she was. It was a good experience.
Spiritual thought for the day is from my sister Kristalyne!
Really read and ponder this one!
