Look, I've gotta be honest. It's my shamefaced confession to say that last week I really just did not have time to send the weekly. I shall give you my brief story about my last pday:
Got back from the zone activity and we were green flags for internet and had just enough time to write and then head to a family night we had. But--
Miss take-up-two-seats-at-the-movie-theatre, sassy momma, can't tell take no for an answer was using my computer and spent about an hour and a half looking at her fb and took a good twenty minutes typing with great care (only using one finger at a time) finding her annoying dem bow ringtones she wanted for her cell phone. Anyway, she left me five minutes to work with, and so I just wrote Prez and left feeling awful. I was trying to think of what I could have done different, hope I'm forgiven.
These past two weeks we have not wasted one second. Our days have been full and busy busy busy. Conducted my first baptismal interview for our Zone Leader pals, started running before studytime, started our Preach My Gospel Class with our 16 smiling students. Just been having jam packed days is all I can say.
This upcoming week, we have the baptisms of Andry and Jordan. Jordan on tuesday, and Andry saturday. We've worked a great deal with each one of them. But they both passed their interviews last saturday, and have shown no reason why they are both not ready for the next step of baptism. Had some bomb references from members this last week. Remember Brian? Baptized him the beginning of last transfer, well he showed us his friend ''El Topo'' or Junior, and he told us straight up that the wanted to be baptized first lesson. We well all kinda shocked and more or less just said: ''Well.. we can arrange that.'' haha. So awesome. And we're working alot more with a reference from our bordering area left with us. They are a family that are just SO PREPARED. They already look and act like members of the church! I really just hope I don't get a transfer.
This transfer is only 4 weeks becase our new president is in town!! He flew in last night, and will not leave for another 3 years.. super crazy.
President Ahmad S Corbett
Google him
Read a book, that every individual who dares to call himself a member must read, called 'A Marvelous Work and A Wonder' from LeGrand Richards. Its a 430sh page book and I put it to an end in a short four days. Just read it, I'm teaching with a new understanding of this restored gospel, and after reading it if you can't say with a surety that this church is true, you're probably just blind. No matter how much secular knowledge one may obtain, there's no textbook, no amount of studying that can compare to pure gospel knowledge and gospel truths. This stuff is real, and I'm so lucky call myself a part of this awesome work.
I'll leave you with this little fun quote someone sent me for my birthday
''Whatever you want to do tomorrow, do it today. And whatever you desire to do today, do it now because nobody knows in this uncertain world what will happen in a moment. Celebrate life the same as you celebrate your birthday.''

Thanks for the birthday wishes,
