Even if we never get around to baptizing anyone, we will have planted the seeds and some future missionary will find them again and they will have been prepared by that time, through us. I don't rate my mission success on seeds planted anymore, or baptisms, or anything really. It's not my success anyway, it's the Lord's. These two years are my life's tithing. All of it goes to Him. Sure, it feels good to know that you contributed to someones salvation, but it's still not my success. That's how I feel anyway. It's just something to keep my expectations low. We really can't compare our work to the work of the other missionaries here. It's a whole 'nother program. Nothing we do is the same. The language is not where it's different.
Maggie needs to be on a leash if she is outside. I'm not there to enforce anything but it must happen. We don't want another JJ story.
Passing out chalk and making copies is what old people do for their church calling. Congrats!
I have been emailing Kyle. He is having a good time in the MTC. It's good to hear from him. Reading my blog is funny. I'm weird.
Thanks for the addresses. I'm sure if you still have my phone and my contacts, you can just text the others for their addresses. I should have thought of it sooner but oh well.
If I thought real hard and pondered, I could come up with a story from this week. But my mind tends to move on and forget whatever happened during the day to avoid feeling bad about it.
I do remember a funny story from a long time ago though. A certain man (homosexual) asked me if I was bold. I thought the question kinda made sense because I am obviously shy most of the time. But I told him "sometimes..." he looked kind of confused and we didn't continue the conversation. After thinking about it, I realized that he wasn't asking if I was "bold". He was in fact asking me if I was "straight" They are the same sign in ASL. So a gay guy asked if I was straight and I told him "sometimes" -how embarrassing. Oh well, it's far enough in the past that I'm not worried anymore.
Yes, I went to the temple. It was enjoyable enough. I guess I'm lucky that I get to go every 3 months. Thanks for the support and stuff. We still aren't teaching anyone.
