Brett-May 26, 2009

Hey y'all, well this has been a pretty eventful week. We worked hard and found a lot of new investigators and had some good numbers. Unfortunately none of those people came to church. We got to do some service last weekend. We were chopping down some trees for some members. It wouldn't have been too bad but the only tool that they had was one hand saw. It was pretty intense and I was definitely exhausted after. We were talking to somebody later in the week about how hard it would be to make it to the celestial kingdom without the right tools. It would be possible but it would just be a lot more difficult. We've got all the tools we need. We've got the scriptures, the restored gospel, a living prophet, etc. All these awesome tools that make it so much easier for us to return to Our Heavenly Father. There are so many people out there with only a hand saw. We've got to take them the chain saw and make things a little bit easier on them. Well yesterday was probably my first memorial day without a BBQ. I'm not gonna lie it felt kind of incomplete. This morning Sister Roberts, the lady who we live with, gave us some left over meat from the barbecue she had last night. So as soon as I finish here I'm gonna go grill me a hamburger. Yesterday was still fun, it just wasn't the same. All the missionaries got together and we played basketball at the church like we do every P-day. Its always a good time. Later in the night we had planned to play soccer with a less-active family. So I was a little worn out going into that but it was a lot of fun. Our recent convert Cristina and some of the members from the branch were at the park as well so they came and played with us. Cristina's doing awesome. She got a calling last Sunday, I'm not sure if I told y'all last week. But she was called to the Primary. She's loving it. Well every things good here in the TLM. I hope all is well back home. School gets out this week here. I'm assuming y'all get out this week too. Try not to party too hard without me. Haha love y'all.
