Alright, first things first!! For my entire life, I have never been able to break 150 pounds. The only time I was able to do that was when I was fully dressed and soaking wet. I am proud to announce that I have officially broken 150 pounds. in fact I now weigh in at 158.5. it's close enough to 160 so that's what I tell people. STOKED!!! now the real question... is it healthy weight? Excellent question indeed!! I have noticed growth in the muscle department. so Imma sayin', Healthy! This is so exciting, you have no idea!
Great week but not too much went on this week besides transfers. I of course didn't go anywhere because I'm still being "raised" (trained). A couple elders left the Zone I'm in. Elders Kay and Mizzell. Kay is AWESOME!! He is from Snowflake Arizona and loves the Celtics!!! what!? we got matching Celtics jackets and took a picture with his camera. he's going to email it to me and I'll forward it. I miss Elder Kay already, not as much as my MTC comp Elder Stucki, who writes me letters!!! I LOVE THAT KID!!
On a more positive note, ROD GOT THE PRIESTHOOD!!! What!? *fist bump* (tv show "psych") it was awesome!! We asked him what he wanted to learn about and he asked about the temple and baptisms for the dead. HE ALREADY IS THINKING ABOUT THE TEMPLE!!! I keep saying this but I can't stress this enough, HE IS A STUD!! Paula isn't sure if she wants to wait to go back to Idaho again so her fiance's family can be there or just get her baptism done here. She said, "I'm so torn." but Bro Farnsworth said, "JUST DO IT HERE!" DANG STRAIGHT BROTHER FARNSWORTH!! I wasn't going to say it so I'm glad he did! but I know for a fact that she wants to get baptized soon! You can see her get so frustrated that she isn't baptized yet and wants to have the gift of the holy ghost!! She is awesome!! by the way mom, Paula said she requested to be friends on fb and no one has accepted it for me.... I have full confidence that this will be resolved by my secretaries Stacy and Tiara Toolson.
We found 3 more people that have expressed interest in learning more about the church but this 4th guy..... ooooo buddy... here it is. this guy calls and asks for a book of mormon 40 minutes from when church is about to start and says he'll be at the church in 20 min. awesome!! so he shows up and is super enthusiastic about learning mre about the mormons because he just saw the play the Book of Mormon. cool something positive can come from something that is not accurate about the church!! so we go to some classroom and start getting to know him. and he starts saying how many different religions he has studied! Great he has a solid background and is looking for more!! we start with the restoration... VERY FIRST POINT "god is our loving heavenly father" he cuts us off right there and says,"now hold on, you can't just state that as fact. how do you know there is a god? if you want to tell me there is a god then you better bring him. i can't see him. i believe in science." AAARRREEE YYYYOOOOOUUUU FFFRREEEAAAKIKKKIIIINNNNGGG KKKIIIDDDIIINNNNGGG MMMMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????? he GOES OFF for the entire 20 minutes!! i wanted to say SO BALDLY, "Sir, prove to me you have a brain." GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ONE!!!!! I wanted to do pres. packers thing with tasting salt and I think I will if we see him again. he doesn't want to learn at all. he thinks he knows everything wants to teach us what he knows. I know what I know. my heavenly father lives. his son, jesus christ came to earth and suffered my sins so that I my be forgiven and live with him for time and all eternity. he did this for one reason. HE LOVES ME. His everlasting atonement made it possible for ALL people to be forgiven and live with him again. he has a plan for us. and has given us prophets and scripture to guide us. the Book of Mormon is the word of god. I know that everyone everywhere can come to this knowledge if you ask god, the divine being who created you in his own image, if these things that I bare testimony of are not true, with a humble heart, real intent to change if it be true, and faith to know that god will answer your prayers. I know this to be true. NO ONE can take this from me. What I know, I know because He has answered my prayers. Why not yours?
