This past week our branch had a chile cook off. My companion
made a fantastic White Chicken Chile. I made a salsa and I won 2nd place!
(People here don't like cilantro) with my Tomatillo salsa.
We had 12 investigators come to the party it was great! It
was like 1/4 of the people there!
We had Zone training this week and the lesson was on the
importance of obedience and how when we are obedient we can live without regret
and with more joy. Making a chose to be obedient really is the best thing it
will lead to more trust and greater understanding. There are times when we want
to be disobedient to a commandment or to a rule but if you like about it how
hard is it to break a rule? It is super easy right. So when we break a rule we
are doing the easy, and really the weak thing. However. When we follow the
commandments of the Lord we are showing to ourselves and him that we are strong
and that we have some sort of backbone. Be diligent in following the rules of
the Lord. They are not there to hold us back but to keep us safe from the
storms of life.
I have started The Book of Mormon again and I decided to ask
a question and find the answer throughout my study. I have already learned so
much more than if I had just started to read it. I challenge you all to ponder
a question it can be about anything and write it in the front of a copy of the
Book of Mormon and go through and study that question out pray each day and
night and I testify that as you do this your faith will grow and you will learn
so much!
The weather here in Colorado is really strange it can be
really cold one day and then super-hot the next I am okay with cold and okay
with heat but I need some sort of consistency with it! I love it here in Del
Norte I found out that when leaves fall off of trees here it does not mean that
the tree is dead. Who knew! I am in awe of the world that we have been given it
is so amazing and beautiful. I am looking forward to seeing what else this new
part of the world will teach me!
I love you all and love hearing from you all write me
letters or e-mails :)
