FORT the WORTH of Souls: Firestone and Evil Ants

Firestone and Evil Ants

Well, this week went by way too fast. I don't even know what happened

INTERVIEWS- we had interviews with President this week. He is so inspired and filled with the love of Christ. So grateful for our leaders and everything they do.

FIRESTONE- Welp, here's a story. On Tuesday, we went to firestone to get our car fixed. If you remember from astray weeks email, the light is totally gone and our blinker or course doesn't work. We also had to do the small things like changing our oil and stuff. Well, after waiting for 3 hours thry tell us they don't have the parts to fix our car that day and we have to come back. So we come back Thursday and wait 4 hours for our car to be fixed. They finally say it's done so we drive off. The first time I try to turn left and put the blinker on, the same notification saying that it's not working comes on. And the notification that the oil hasn't been changed comes on. So yeah, apparently they didn't do anything and were going back today. Please pray that our car can finally be fixed we stay as busy as we can while we're waiting though. Studying, walking, calling, and eating.

FRIENDS- For all you praying that we'd be able to find people to teach, it's working. We found this cute lady named Ima Jean. She said that if she read the Book of Mormon and found it to be true, she'd have to join our congregation. Our friend Rose accepted a book of Mormon as well, we can't wait to go back back see what she thinks of it. We final got to meet with Rhett, a members nephew, he seems to be interested in being baptized and one day serving a mission! He's praying about baptism right now yay!

EVIL ANTS- We were asked to do a service where we just picked up trash around a trailer park. It was really hot so I didn't wear a long sleeve shirt even though I really should have. Well, as you can probably guess, they bit me. One on my wrist and another above my armpit. I think I'm a little allergic to the ants here in Texas because I started to swell up and get red around the bites. Yes, I'm okay. Thank goodness for caring members who gave me some cream to put on them. It's good to feel loved and cared about.

STAKE CONFERENCE- We went to every session of Stake conference! Even the youth one. It was awesome and very much spiritually uplifting, but I will say one thing. I'm glad Monday comes after Sunday because it put me in a sleepy mood and I'm ready to take a good nap today. A big focus of the Co ference was to be converted. It's one thing to know something, it's another thing to live it.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT- We all have questions, and we might have doubts from time to time. There is a solution to all our gospel questions and doubts. Continue to learn and pray about The Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. Because if Joseph Smith truly was a prophet of God and the Book of Mormon is true, then we know that he will never lead us astray. What happens if we don't read the Book of Mormon? Nothing, we stay the same and our questions go unanswered. What happens when we read the Book of Mormon, everything changes. Life means more and hope is more abundant because God still speaks to his children on Earth and He has a spectacular plan for us. Please read the Book of Mormon
