This week was an interesting week, but it started off pretty
rough. From Monday night, after we said
goodbye, I was pretty sick. This sickness lasted until Friday afternoon.
Thursday night, a bunch of ladies at our Book of Mormon class forced me to go
go the clinic. Turns out I had an uber
high blood pressure (166/92). After some
blood work and other tests – it turns out I was super dehydrated. That didn't really explain the pain in my
stomach, but oh well. We got things
figured out and I am feeling much better!

On Wednesday, I tried to work through my health issues, which
ended up being a bad idea because it only made it worse. We went and
worked at the taco shop for quite a while. I wired up a couple receptacles and
junction boxes - all on my own. It was
cool to test my knowledge and the taco shop is nearing completion.
Friday: We did our
weekly planning, My plan and I-Plan, which is always fun. This next week I’ll
be working on the section dealing with dating and temple marriage. That's
should be exciting, right?
Saturday we had the Ward Fall Festival and we had quite a
lot of people show up. It was fun to laugh, tell stories and share some good fall
food!
I am so sorry I don't have much to report on, but that's
what happens when your boy spends most of the week sick and almost dies of
water loss, lol
That being said, we are cruising right along with one of our
baptismal dates while the other went haywire, packed up and left. Oh well, everything happens for a reason. We
still love her and wish what is best for her.
Even with all the time being sick, we went through our Area
Book and selected a few former investigators and stopped by to check up on them. We ended up finding 3 new investigators this
week! I'm not sure how far any of them
will progress, but this is a good time to exercise some faith, right?
Since I don't have much to report, I guess I'll close with a
short thought. There is a quote I ran
across this week in one of my readings by Bruce R. McConkie. (He is my favorite
by the way)
Anyways, he said something along the lines of: "Everyone who is in the church, on the
straight and narrow path, who is striving and struggling but has a desire to do
what is right, though he is far from perfect in this life. If he passes out of this life on the straight
and narrow path, he is going to go to an eternal reward in his father's
kingdom"
This quote gives me great comfort knowing that our Heavenly
Father loves us so much that he wants what is best for us. So much so, that in
order to live with him we don't need to be perfect. We just need to be worthy. That's all. So, no matter how irrelevant you
may feel, keep up the good work, keep up the good fight and in all things make
your Heavenly Father proud. If you do
this, you need not worry. God loves you and He is waiting to bless you. Each a
and every day He and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, wait with their
hands extended just waiting for us to grab hold, to bear our burdens and
to love us into the eternities.
I love you guys so much and cannot wait to hear from you!
Love,
C.W. Dickinson
