Fast Week

This week was pretty quick.  I feel like I can understand people better and I am becoming more accustomed to things here.  We are in a mall right now using their computers and later we go to a store inside the mall that is basically a small Smiths.  Last week I ate yogurt, granola, protein milk which was really good.  This week I think I am going to get eggs, a loaf of bread, protein milk, and some tomatoes.  But we have 4 people with a baptism date and they are learning fast and almost ready.  We have a few more we can invite the next time we meet as well.  It is super awesome.  The companionships here have an old phone with the 12 buttons that we use to keep in touch with the people, report numbers to leaders, and set up times for things which is really nice.  This week I have been more interested in studying the creation, 2nd-coming, Millenium, afterlife, etc.  It is really cool to see all the information there is in the scriptures that I haven`t paid much attention to before.  We set lots of goals here.  Every day, week, month, and any others we want as personal goals.  Definitely helps to make sure we are working hard.  But other than that not too much is new.  Still hot, understanding when other people are talking a lot better, talking with lots of people.  We were able to contact 34 people yesterday in about an hour and a half at the farmers market that is every Sunday.  Going well here.

D&C 29:34-35  The Lord doesn't give commandments that are temporal. Only spiritual.  He knows what will bring freedom and happiness.  That is why we have commandments.  Parents know that kids shouldn't be wandering off alone but kids don't know why.  If we trust that God knows way more than we can now then we can understand the security that comes from following the commandments
