What is going on?!?! Well i am jealous of you being in Key west thats for sure! But thats ok if i dont get a chance to go there cause Shelly and Tyler told me that they were going to be living in Utah by the time i got home... ;) So i would rather have that anyways :D (mom im just kidding they didnt really tell me that although i keep trying to talk them into it) Well this week was ok for us.. It wasnt too eventful but it was still good.. We are just in the rebuilding stage. But its all good cause we still got to earn it ya know? So no biggy.. Although last night one of our recent converts got with her neighbor who is a real idiot and he got her on this anti mormon website and she called us at 12:45 last night and i didnt even hear the phone but anyways we called her back this morning and she was balling and what not and very angry and then later on this afternoon we both talked to her and she felt a lot better after that... and of course all the anti stuff is silly... it really is but she had missed 2 weeks of church and i mean satan kicks you when your down.. and so she is better now but its so interesting to see the trials that RC's go through after they are baptized.. But she will be ok.. oh and for her neighbor well i would like to go beat the crap out of that twig boy.. but i will try to hold off on that as well.. But the church is so stinkin true! NO QUESTION! its true! move on! But ya so anyways this week. Elder Steinbeigle fell on his bike twice lol! the first time we were at this appartment complex right next to where all these kids were playing and he was just riding like .0003 mph and just went right over his handle bars.... i know its a pretty crappy description of what happened but to tell you the truth i am still trying to figure out what happened myself :D and then he gets up with the panic you know and starts going WOW DID YOU SEE THAT>?!! and of course all the kids saw it and started laughing it was great! and then we were riding next to this busy street and of course it was traffic hour and he went to turn around and went off the sidewalk into this grass and i guess he turned too sharp or hit the cement or something but face planted again and this time i watched the whole thing along with 50 cars full of people and i was laughing really hard and so were they.. lol! Its been a rough week for the little guy :D You know i have learned a lot of cool things since i have been out here.. but ultimately it has made my testimony grow of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He truly did die for all of us.. And suffer in the Garden of Gethsemane for our sins. He truly loves us perfectly and no matter what we go through in life he is there not just to hear us out but to show us what we need to do and to build us up so that one day we can stand on our own 2 feet! I am grateful for the patience that the Lord has with me! I have had the opportunity and the blessing to see this wonderful gospel change peoples lives! It is amazing! Jeremy Turrell for instance.. He, for a long time, was with the (i don't know how to spell it) Arean Nation.. and he batched dope and sold it for guns and then sold the guns to Mexican and black gangs in cali (with the knowledge that they would kill each other off) for more chemicals to batch more dope to go round and round again! and he was in it for years! He has flags from it still ones that are stained with blood and everything! trust me when i say i have learned a lot :D but even though he did all that.. 2 Saturday's ago he baptized his daughter! He holds the priesthood of God! now you tell me that something that isn't true could do that to a man...? I love this gospel! It is the only way to happiness! Live it! and don't just live it 60 or 70 or 80 percent! you HAVE to live the gospel 100 percent or you are wasting your time! Live it! Love it! and most of all share it! I love you guys! Thank you for the great example that you are to me! As i look back over my childhood and the way i was raised by my wonderful parents i wouldn't change a thing! You guys are the best! Take care of yourselves! Thank you for your prayers! I love you!
