Week #33: Strange Lights in the Sky

This week was quite odd. For one, it was sunny for three days! And then, last night, there was actual lightning, which is surprisingly a first since I've been here.
Beyond that, it was a good week! We talked to a lot of new people. We had dinner with some investigators- Amy, Kristy, and TJ. TJ and Kristy are married and Amy is their friend. It was great- Sister Allen was able to answer their questions and help them to commit to really reading the Book of Mormon! They're headed to Africa to do charity work soon, but they are definitely willing to listen!



We met with Megan as well- I finally got to meet her fiancé! Cody is pretty funny. They make a cute couple! It's weird to think that they're our age. s doing well- she understands really well, and knows the gospel. We didn't get to see Stephanie this week because they were sick-something is making the rounds.

We stopped by Nicole's and had a good conversation with her! They have a lot of craziness going on- her son and daughter are both in football, and her daughter is team captain- yeah, she's pretty tough. The variety show was Friday night! It was awesome! No investigators came, but a few less actives did- it was really fun! I've got some great videos from the performances- hopefully I can send those. We had a lot of service this week as well.

Spiritual thought for the week:

"Another lesson taught by death concerns the importance of eternal families. Just as there are parents to greet a newborn on earth, the scriptures teach that caring family members greet the spirits in paradise and assist them in the adjustments to a new life (see Gen. 25:8; Gen. 35:29; Gen. 49:33). While I was standing before the casket, the thought came that separation was not only a shock for the parents, but also for the young man as he suddenly found himself on the other side of the veil. I suspect that he would like to tell his parents once more how much he loves them. Brothers and sisters, heaven only exists if families are eternal." ("The Power to Heal From Within," Merrill G Bateman, Ensign May 1995, italics added)

I love you all! Have a fun week!
