That is so exciting that y'all were able to see Trevor again that is so neat! And I am so sorry to hear about grandfather I will definitely keep him in my prayers. That is so great that Deanna and Rebecca were awesome at girls camp! Sounds like they had a lot of fun! And Kyle, gosh, sounds like he is quite the dare devil now always injuring himself - be careful bro! And I better hear from JJ next time you can't dodge me for that long sista!
Well this week it rained like crazy on Monday it was raining sideways! There was lightning striking down so, so close to us that we would go deaf from the thunder! I got some of it on video. Also we were all hyped up for tropical storm Don but it turned out to be a huge BUST! Turns out the Houston heat did a round house kick to Don and it went away - totally lame! Well besides that the heat keep turning up (hitting triple digits) good gosh, being in a bike area is torture sometimes but it's okay because I am working really hard on my missionary tan yup it's nasty lookin'.
Well my spiritual thought this past week: I have been studying about the early saints of the church and the pioneers and also studying my favorite prophet Enoch. The early saints had so much faith it seemed like where ever they went persecution followed close behind them. The saints were continually forced out of their homes but they had so much faith that they went where they were told to and rebuilt their community each time until finally the journey out west. Enoch also had so much faith! He went to his brethren and called repentance unto them even though they hated him. But because he acted on his faith, he touched so many people and he continued to journey throughout the lands and do this even though he was a "lad" and "slow of speech" He was bold but loving. And as a missionary I want to have that faith, boldness, and love. Like the early saints and Enoch had. If I can tap into that so many miracles will happen! I love y'all take care.
