Hey Everyone!
This week has been an interesting week. Had some ups and downs, but overall for the better.
We had some awesome lessons with our friends this week! Our lessons with Charmaine were mostly pointed at the kids, since we are trying to get them ready for baptism this Sunday. It was some fun stuff. We taught them the Law of Tithing by using marshmallows as the money and Kit-Kats as the blessings we get in return, cause Kit-Kats are better than marshmallows, of course. Charmaine and her 2 oldest had the interview yesterday, and they passed! So I ask for prayers for them this week, because Satan is gonna try even harder to keep them from the covenant and gift of the Holy Ghost.
Our couple of lessons with John this week were about the importance of baptism and temples. John is a freaking super star! He's finally clean from his Word of Wisdom issues as of Saturday. Next week we'll have his interview and then his baptism is on the 10th! Ashland is such a blessed place!
A fun thing that happened this week was on P-Day we went out west to Iron River to have dinner with the Rusts. They are a cute little family that actually only moved here in the last year from Utah. They made us an amazing chili that was sooo good, I had a second round. Needless to say, I got full that day. They even gave us a bunch of their fresh laid eggs and some stuff to make orange chicken. They are just so awesome. The whole branch is!
Now for my favorite spiritual moment. There is a less active member that lives in Bessemer that we go and have lessons with when we make it out that way. This last Saturday, we decided to read through "Think Celestial!" As we were doing so and discussing different points that Pres. Nelson brought up, his daughter was actually sitting and listening to us read and talk about it, and even went over to read it with her dad! Just proof that the words of the prophet and the Spirit will even get kids attention and testify of the truth to them. It was so cool!
I hope we can be like that member's daughter and want to hear the good stuff and be drawn to it. I'm lucky for the privilege I have to be in the situation where I can focus on it all the time with the least distractions. Just remember to take the time to look for it in your lives, and I promise the Light of Christ and the Spirit will testify when you find that good stuff!
Have a good week! Love y'all!
Sincerely,
Elder Buchanan
