Week 44 We Have a Pet

So first things first, we have a massive pet spider in our window. His name is Jeffrey and we just found his son yesterday, and his name is Jeffery Jr. and we are pretty sure there is a third one somewhere. We bought some raid at the store, so we will be sending them to heaven soon.

We had an interesting week, we are now in Phase 1 as missionaries! We can now have in person lessons with the people we are teaching, and in person District Council. We also have in person interviews with President Vest this week!

We have some great friends! Braden came to church on Sunday! We had a lesson with our friend Carl and with President Brandt. We read from the Book of Mormon and then we had to go after 20 minutes, so we suggested that they could continue talking. They did for another 20 minutes and they both loved it! President Brandt was impressed with his desire to learn!

My spiritual thought this week comes from my district leader, Elder Jensen. 

He said something to the effect of,

We have the answer to eternal life and it would be selfish to keep it to ourselves. We can be out of our comfort zone and away from our families for 18-24 months of our lives to help people be together for eternity.

I know I have heard that before, but for some reason it just seemed to click this time.

Have a great week! Happy August on Saturday
