Other than this exciting news this morning nothing too much happened this week. We taught one lesson to a Less Active man who would be active if it wasn't for his health. He loves really deep and involved discussions which was super cool. Church in Weyburn is at 10:00 am and we switched Estevan's to 1:00pm so we had 4 hours of church yesterday, (wasn't that bad) but Elder Gregson was dying because of his diabetes(makes him super thirsty) so he drank like a gallon of water at the Woodruffs for supper. I have made it a goal to bear my testimony at every fast and testimony meeting and i'm doing pretty well so far. I'm at 3 so far and I want to do it every week that I can. It's actually super rewarding to do so and when you do bear your testimony, that no matter how small or insignificant you feel it is, it grows each time you bear it. Mine has gotten a lot better I've felt personally as I've read The book of Mormon daily.
I was reading the Book of Alma and I just got into the war chapters and I thought "heck yah the cool parts finally here!" and I was thinking about the fights and the wars and none of the spiritual side. But as I read I thought it was cool as captain Moroni had successfully defended his people, but in the times of peace he was constantly preparing for war, he built dirt mounds and on those mounds he built walls and on those walls he built towers and in the towers he placed armour and men. I thought that was pretty cool because I thought about how life is a war and how we can be constantly building our defences so when trials come we have those walls and towers to help us defend against the adversary. It talked about in the book of Mormon that THOUSANDS of lamanites were slain and not one nephite was slain in a battle where they attacked their defences. We can also build up our defences by constantly reading the book of Mormon and working and serving our fellow man.
That is my testimony for now, you can add some other stuff like the church is true! I am pretty exited right now. Not excited to have to deal with all the food I just bought but i'll manage. I will just return some and keep others and leave some behind for Gregson. I'm excited because ill be with Elder Romeril and I probably won't have to wear Earplugs anymore!!! Oh how I hated sleeping with those things, but now I have some if I ever need them again, hopefully won’t ! My new companion will hopefully(PLEASE) be cleaner than Elder Gregson. Im gonna miss him, it was fun serving with him.
Shorter letter today i'm sorry I got carried away in finding where I'm going. I've found new motivation even though I'm going to the middle of nowhere, another nowhere, hahaha. I cant wait to hook up with Elder Romeril.
