Hello everyone. How are you? I am doing ok. This week was a downer for us. At the beginning of the week, we were working with 9 people. Now we are working with this many—0. I am not enjoying it.
But the mission is going good. We have a baptism on Friday. Have no idea who it is, but I love going to baptisms. They feel nice.
Well sorry that this week is so short but not much has happened. So, I am going to share a special message instead. “About a week ago, I was listening to a talk by some guy. (I know that’s so obvious who it is.) He was talking about how his dog was the best dog there was and he would always brag about how good it was. One day, he was with his friends and he wanted to who how amazing his dog was. So, they went to go herd some sheep and his dog was just lame. She wouldn’t do anything; and he was feeling embarrassed about how his dog was not obeying him. Then he told her to fetch something in a ditch. She hesitated and didn’t go. After he forcefully put her into the ditch, the dog still did nothing. So he knew something was wrong. He got down into the ditch and lifted up his dog. He felt a wet cold thing on his dog and it was blood. He was so worried about impressing his friends that he didn’t notice that something was wrong with his dog. He took his dog to the vet and the vet told him that something had cut her open in a spot where stitches could not be placed. The dog had to wait it out. She could not do anything that would stress her for a few months so she could heal on her own.” Then he went on to talk about how he wanted to take her out but couldn’t until he knew she was ready. I have no idea how he wrapped it back; but he started to talk about how God is a third watch person. How our lives will suck and we will feel left out and not want to go on. But I can testify to all of you that if we can have faith in God and Jesus Christ and continue to do what is right, when we are at our low of lows God will lift us up and we can feel like all is well again. I can also testify that God will not give us any challenge that we cannot encounter. We may not be able to do it ourselves, in fact we can’t do it ourselves. But if we turn to the Lord in times of trials and suffering, he will make our weak thing become strong.
Remember the church is true, the sky is blue, and God loves you, and so do I. I love you all and hope that you can have a great week.
