Words of Wisdom from Elder Madsen(x2) : "No like, this dudes really not that important. Less-active with a bunch of cats and ive already told you what i think about cats. Tells ya a little bit about what i think of this guy" (he was kidding of course;))
Any-ways... with that, this week was great! We went to Rapid City for a Dr.s appointment. We dug up some trees, dusted at the museum for service! we saw Domingo!
We met with a couple of members this week. The Oaks, Steinbachs, Hoffmans, and the Langfitts! They are a bunch of my favorite! and not just because they fed us;) no but really, the members here are great.
We tracted alot this week! im loving tracting! its so fun/funny to see the people and to see their reactions that they have when they see that we are missionaries.. its so great. some doors slammed, some take BOMs and some kinda listen but not really. If they listen, they listen, if not.. oh well. haha
While tracting the other day, we were in Spearfish. Spearfish has some big houses on the side of the mt. so we thought wed go there. as were walking a flippen snake slithers by.. ehhhhh sooo gross!! haha i just quickly ran to the door and knocked.. as im doing that, sister Will was laughing at me in the drive way! a "good" way to start talking to people at the door i tell ya!
Black Hills round up is going on and its like the Olympics for cowboys! HAHA ITS SO GREAT! SO MANY PEOPLE are here. we had alot of visitors at church and that was so fun to meet them! oh lady said she was from provo, so i was like "oh that cool! im from LEHI!" then she replied to me with "oh cool, we were just there yesterday for a BBQ. just so you know, its looking great!
ok ok good to know.... i think? haha
One night, we were think about what we should do cause some apts. fell through. i just had this feeling that we should go stop by Victor and Destinys.(our new investigators) so we did. we had an appointment set for tonight but we went anyways. ANYWAYS we got there and short story, so much crap has happened to them and their family. like so many! but the cool thing is that they have so much faith in God that its not letting them get down. They have a strong testimony of families and how important they are. They are ordained of God, they are the most important unit in all eternity! God gave us families to bring us happiness and joy. i know my family brings me so much happiness and joy! i love them so much! The home is the best place to teach, learn, and apply principles of the gospel. A home established on gospel principles will be a place of refuge and safety.. It will be a place where the spirit can abide, blessing family members with peace, joy, and happiness. Satan is making a concentrated attak on families. like now with Victor and Destinys. Family prayer and scripture study are some ways to help us strengthen our families. Heaven is a continuation of the ideal home.
Im so thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. without him, i dont even know where i would be. Im so thankful for families and to have the one i have!
