well well well there were ups and downs for sure this week.
Last Tuesday we had our All Scotland conference and that's when it hit me I've been out for a year. A lot of my close mission friends gave their departing testimonies since they leave in just a week or two. We skyped Elder Bednar and had a Q&A with him and his wife and I learned just two things from it that will stick to me for a while. The first thing is to always to humble enough to ask someone else what they know. Whenever a question was asked Elder Bednar always asked his wife first if she wanted to answer the question before he did. I though that was pretty cool, you would think an Apostle of the Lord would know how to answer anything a dumb 20 year old kid would ask. He did know how to answer most things but he respected that his wife also may know more about something than he did. I though that was pretty neat. The next thing is to study the Book of Mormon with a topic in mind. Highlight, underline and write things in that book only about your topic. When you've finished write a one page paper on what you learned. Then do it again and compare how you've grown and what you have learned. I want to start doing that. I think it would be a really good way for me to track my progress and actually see how my testimony has changed.
When we got back from Zone conference I got pretty sick. I don't know what from but I think my body is pretty stressed out from working and traveling a ton.
Friday we went to the Martins for service and a BBQ. We moved wooden palettes all day which was pretty tiring but the barbeque lifted our spirits. There was a lot of meat. Chicken wings, steak, burgers, chicken, kabobs. It was all good. There was also a returned missionary there with us for dinner which I thought would be cool to see.
Sunday we went back to the Martins and we chilled there all day pretty much. We played phase 10 which was a blast and we had a chicken Korma that one of the twins made. Overall though this week wasn't too shabby I guess.
Love yah, catch yah around.
