Week 82 In Ft. Lauderdale....

April 28, 2015

So this information overshadows all other information, slightly just because of how excited I am to TRAIN, that means I am going someplace I know nothing about to train! BAH!!! Anyway back to the week.
  

Hey! What is that in the road up ahead?

Well Monday started off real good with a call from Jupiter North telling us Jupiter South was going to kill one another. Emergency exchange! What a great way to start the week. The difficulty of the Ft. Meyers stake entering the mission is still causing some contention. So we had to put that fire out.

Then we tried to proselyte the rest of the week we got plenty done up in Pahokee, but no one from that area was able to come to church but we were able to get Eddie and Henderson to church so that was good.

Saturday was a busy day we had a ward service project cleaning a soup kitchen in Belle Glade... lets say that they hadn't done a deep cleaning in a long time when you would wring a rag out it looked like soy sauce... And there were so many people cleaning different things at different times that we got in each others way! And there were way to many people that thought that they needed to be in charge. I came out of there looking like I took the mess with me on my clothes, my blue jeans looked black!

Yup.... It's a dead alligator...

Then after the Project at the church we had a catfish fry... These southern bred folks know how to have a fry party! We had Fried Fish, Fried Pickles, Hush-Puppies (they were the bomb), Fried onion, Funnel cake, fried potatoes, and fried green tomatoes... everything was golden brown and delicious!

When it comes to my studies this week I learned about the importance of Listening, and the importance of Catching the Vision. Look at Laman and Lemuel they did everything that their father told them but they did not catch his vision of the blessings, of eternal life and the promised land. Therefore they learned little and grew little on their journey. It is the same with us, we may not like where things are going but if we stop and look at the bigger picture then we can catch the blessings that come by following inspired guidance.

LOVE YOU ALL

Stay Strong, Push On!!
