So this Wednesday we get to go to the temple for a session and we're excited about that. so that means we only have an hour today for email since wednesday is our PDay.
So what's going on here in Union City? Behold, my beloved brethren,I will unfold this mystery unto you; if I do not, by any means, get shaken from my firmness in the Spirit, and stumble because of my over anxiety for you.
Life is well. We found this family named the Richard and Ashley family a few weeks back and we've been trying to get a solid appt with them. We were finally able to come teach them a little bit this Thursday. We talked about how the Gospel blesses families and what blessings they want. They want the Gospel in their family, they also want to get married, so they want to become active in church again so they can be a happy church-going family. Holy miracle!
Yesterday we got a new stake presidency! The stake president and his counselor were released, and the 2nd counselor became the new president. I know that is so exciting, haha, you are probably drooling reading this right now. But we're excited because the new stake president will be awesome so we're looking forward to our meetings with him.
I had an exchange with Elder 'Otuafi from Tonga this week, he is a stud. We tore it up that day, just kidding the Lord tore it up and we were tools in his hands.
This week I learned a lot about...COMMITMENT! Before my mission I had commitment issues, haha. I was always like, it's not you, it's me. Serving the Lord requires commitment, but because he is loving, He helps us increase our commitment to Him as we exercise our faith. If we commit ourselves to Him, or "bind" ourselves to Him, we'll experience the healing power of the Atonement of Christ that we are helpless without. So Commit Yerselves to the Lord, and you'll find freedom and newness of lahf.
Also Elder Parker and I spent a lot of our car-time by practicing freestyle rapping. He's pretty good, and I got better but we're both still pretty white.
