This week was good. Not much happened.
That sucks to hear that the snow ruined your shopping trip, and Aunt Brenda's visit to an extent. I guess it's good that you guys can shop again in the summer.
Sounds like the new job should be pretty fun, to see what you end up doing on a daily basis.
Yeah we attend ward council, I have attended ward council in every ward I have been in. I enjoy the meetings, I have really come to enjoy seeing all the behind the scenes work of the church and how everything comes together.
We didn't have any crazy snow but we did have a cold front that came in and dropped the temperature to 37 degrees, so we got to break out our sweaters.
We had a super good zone conference on Thursday. They replaced the Tiwi's in our cars. (Tiwi is basically a little box that yells at you if you drive too fast) So they got us new ones because the ones that we had been using were pretty old. Now they are all futuristic looking and hi-tech. The zone conference itself was super good too. President Torres said something really insightful. He talked a lot about failing and learning from our mistakes and he talked about how God knows that the purpose of mortality is to learn and to grow, sometimes through failure and then getting back up from that failure. He then said that sometimes we as humans don't understand mortality because we are so caught up in having to be perfect that we don't allow ourselves to fail so that we can learn.
Braden comes home in 5 months?!?!?! That's crazy, I sometimes keep forgetting that I am almost down to 6 months left. It's crazy how fast time flies.
Anyway, that is pretty much it. Super short interesting thought, in testimony meeting yesterday (testimony meeting was this week because we had stake conference last week) someone said that they had been thinking about the phrase bearing your testimony, and he talked about he thought he heard someone say they were burying their testimony. So he then asked a rhetorical question:
Are we bearing our testimony or are we burying our testimony?
So there is some food for thought for the week
Anyway, that is it for this week.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Goodbaudy
