Doctrine and Covenants 4: 1-7

1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.

2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.

3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;

4 For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;

5 And faith, hope, charity and love, with an eye single to the glory of God, qualify him for the work.

6 Remember faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.

7 Ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Amen.

Okay, so still Best Week ever, altough I am slightly annoyed......

Yeah, so I typed a ginormous wonderful e-mail about my amazing week, and it's all gone! Nooooo... :) Well... I guess that's life. Here's a fast forward version of the highlights of my week. Monday night we went to the Butchers and they invited over a friends, Ursula. It was really nice.
Tuesday morning we had district meeting at a members house and they fed us a huge roast dinner afterwards. Apparently they do this every week. haha, good thing we walk a lot. In the evening Iliana Flandro took us out to a little Italian restaurant and then came teaching with us to a man named Micheal Bagampangye. He's 30 and from Uganda (Agandi is how you say hello.... haha, I'm multi-lingual). It was a great lesson. He really listened and asked good questions and answered our questions thoughtfully. He agreed to read, pray, be baptized when he knows it's true, come to the Friday night activity, and to come to church. Pretty awesome :) Wednesday we had our last Zone meeting with President and Sister Foulger. I'm going to miss them so much. Then in the evening we had a ward missionary meeting. This ward is so on fire with missionary work.
Thursday we did planning and then in the evening had ward council.
Friday morning we met with a man named Adam Horwood. He's 34 and a native Englishman. He is really searching for more purpose in his life, and loved everything and said he felt really happy after we taught him. He also agreed to come to the Friday night activity that evening. Then we went finding and a sweet old lady named Betty invited us in the teach her. She's a little set in her ways, but sweet nonetheless. We'll see her again next week. The Friday night activity was amazing. The Elders had 4 investigators there and both Adam and Micheal came. Adam and Micheal instantly became friends with almost everyone there. It was great. These activities are a wonderful opportunity. Saturday we went finding all day. :) Sunday was FANTASTIC. Ursula, Micheal, and Adam all came to church. Adam and Micheal loved it so much, and it was a surprise that Ursula even came because no one was expecting her, so that was pretty cool. Then after church we went to the Feredays for dinner. It was really nice.
So that's a fast forward version of my wonderful week.

Mom- Give everyone in Utah my love and give Grandma a big hug for me!

Dad- So I'm not the only one sweating here :) . It's been quite warm here lately. I love you! Happy Father's Day (one day late)!!!!!

Nathan- Your chair sounds so cool! Good Job! I love you!

Sister Shepherd-Kent- I'm so sorry to hear about Brother Shepherd. I love you, and I know that although we miss him very much he is in a better place. I'll be praying for you!

Love,
