This week ended up being a pretty good week. We ended up doing a lot more service than we
had planned.
On Tuesday, we had a good mixed-bag kind of day, which
included some finding. While we did put in the effort, we didn't find anybody
new to teach. We did have a lesson with M___, basically the only person
we are currently teaching. She has a
baptismal date scheduled for December 8th. We committed her to live the Word of
Wisdom. Currently, it seems like our
efforts may have gone in one ear out the other.
However, we are hoping and praying she will heed our council, but it is
looking bleak. Oh well, we are trying
our best to get her to commit. We
also had some service at Bro S___’s house and at the Taco Shop. Our Ward Mission Leader needed to work on his
heater (it’s been below freezing at night lately) so we helped him with some
pipe fitting and then ran to the Taco Shop and worked on wiring junction
boxes. It was a nice ending to our day.
Wednesday and Saturday's are our usual service days.
Wednesday we were able to do a little service at the Taco Shop. We helped hang
FRP paneling on the ceiling (see pictures). Ugh, was that a task or what?!
Wednesday evening we had Stake Correlation and District Meetings. Both of which
went well.
Thursday we had exchanges. Elder Lamb came up to Clifton and instead of
spending the day finding we did more service at the Taco Shop. We completed installing the FRP paneling on
75% of the kitchen, which is HUGE. It was a big deal. We need to finish it up this week so he can
pass health code inspections! So that is on-going.
Friday we had a laid back day of weekly planning and My
Plan. Let me tell yah, this week’s My Plan
topic was on dating and marriage., which was …daunting. I tell yah, it’s just
weird to think that in 3 weeks I'll be back on the market, lol.
Saturday we did more service. Why? Because, I love
service. I promise, I'll have more to talk about next week, but Saturday
I spent the entire day siliconing around FRP seams, various outlets and even a
hot water heater.
I've adopted a funny saying until I complete my
education. Goes like this, "I'm a Jack of all trades but a master of
none." Well that's only for a while
longer right? ;)
Sunday was a banner day, a.k.a. busy as heck. We gave
Sacrament Meeting talks on temples. My talk went very well and man, it is
hard to write a 5 minute talk, because there is so much to talk about in such
little time. After that, my home coming
talk will be a piece of cake. I should probably get started on it, right? Lol. After giving talks we had to teach Gospel
Principles class and after that we ran home and ate lunch, did personal and
companionship study and then headed to Safford for interviews with president! All of which went well except they started an
hour late, oh well. After that we had to haul home quick for a short
dinner appointment with the B___ family.
Then we ran to the night Sacrament Meeting. (Every week we have a
35 minute Sacrament Meeting for shift workers at the mine.
What a week!
Just remember throughout this coming week: If you have any struggles or afflictions of any
kind always, always remember that God is there for you. He is our literal Father in Heaven. He is there
for you, to strengthen you in time of need. Oh and I'm sure he would love to
hear from you. So, send one up. ;)
I love you guys and can't wait to hear from you tomorrow.
Love,
C.W. Dickinson
