Week #87

Family and Friends:

I am TIRED.

Nothing new. 

I just got myself some Sushi. It was a roll with shrimp, salmon, and avocado. It had eel sauce too. Sushi is better in the USA. 

Monday: We played basketball in the morning. We had a crazy weird conversation with an old woman who just wanted to talk. Had a lesson with a recent convert, Sergey, from Southern England. 

Tuesday: We had District Meeting. Went to the mission office. We may have to leave our apartment. 

Wednesday: We went to carry wood from Jautrites basement to her apartment. I started an exchange with my favorite Elder Malmrose. We deep fried Kontiki. It was wonderful.

Thursday: STREET CONTACTING IN THE SNOW.

Friday: We went out to Jurmala and visited less actives. 

Saturday: We did service at the Soup Kitchen. We sang Carols in Old town. We did weekly planning.

Sunday: We had a lesson with Ju, a recent convert. We had a lesson and dinner with the P family from the USA. They are the cutest little family.

These verses are some that I came across today while studying in Ether 12. A footnote from verse 12 took me to these verses in Psalms 78.

35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.

37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast in his covenant.

38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.

39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, andgrieve him in the desert!

41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

God is truly and unlimited being of all power, but we, with our lack of faith limit his ability to bless us.

The Scriptures are pretty cool if you read them and live by their teachings. It truly is the word of God.

We had 2 investigators at Church yesterday and they are progressing well. Everything is going good here. I love Elder Cooley. He is my shining star.

I love you all.

bye.
