Hey squad! It has been a pretty good week here in Templeton, lots of service, lots of people, and lots and lots of finding. We spent many hours this week out on the streets and on doorsteps trying to find the elect. Anyway in other news, we put our friend David on date for Baptism (hurray!!!) Then Saturday we were explaining commandments and we learned he has not been living some very key ones (not hurray). He is now unsure about whether he even wants to get baptized at all or even wants lessons. This has been pretty hard to deal with this week. We were really excited for him and hoping he would progress, but he is just sort of stuck in a rutt. But oh well. 

 

 

All that we have experienced with David this week has had me thinking about the Altar of Sacrifice. Oftentimes we pick and choose what we want to give up for the Lord. For example, David is not willing to give up a bad habit. But when we put what the lord requires on the Altar, we experience more blessings than we can possibly imagine. We have to have faith in him and trust that when we do what he asks we will receive wonderful blessings. We all need to Let God Prevail and trust that when we put things on the Altar, we will see miracles.

 

 

Funny story for this week: On Friday we had exchanges and did not have a ton of time for food, so all 4 of us ran to Wendys, and there was no inside dining or outside dining, and we did not want to get our cars dirty, so we found lamppost and ate on that, it was pretty funny watching people's reactions to 4 guys in white eating Wendys off a lamp post. 

 

 

Love you all!
