Life Cereal Sale & Tennis: A Dangerous Sport
January 28, 2013
Hey everyone!!
Of
course as always, not a lot of time here, but man first off, right after
emailing last week, there was a sale on cinnamon life at the local
grocery store!! I ate that thing up as you can well imagine!!! First
miracle of the week? CHECK. Also as I said before, Elder Moses and I play
tennis every week with a member on Mondays,
and we play a game called Austrailian Doubles. Long story short, Elder
Moses, who was on the same
side as Brother Crenshaw, wanted to lose on purpose for strategy. So
when the ball came, he meant to just hit it out of bounds, but he
turned, wacked it, and nailed Bro Crenshaw in the inner thigh!!!
Hahahahaha oh man it was funny. Luckily he's a real good sport. ( and
has strong legs!)
We
also got to go to golden corral twice this week! Can't argue with that!
It just opened down here after remodelin, and so we got to stuff
ourselves twice!! Good times.
We had
an experience where we helped a man dig a whole in his backyard for his
dog who had passed the night before... it was around 8 in the morning,
and the dog was huge... a really big St. Bernard. Even though it was
just a dog, it was really close to him, and it brought us and the
brother that brought us on exchange just really thinking about life and
death... that's the first time I've ever buried a dead animal (unless
you count my pet lizard ages ago in which I lifted up a rock in the
backyard and put him under it). On the way back, I got an overwhelming
feeling of joy, testifying to me of the truthfulness of the gospel, and
the knowledge of the plan of salvation we have obtained from it. It's
truly a feeling of comfort from the Holy Ghost to realize what our
purpose really is here on earth. One thing that the brother and I came
to the conclusion of really hit me. It was the fact that we are not here
to let the emotions we have get the best of us, or to try to ignore and
fight them, but to learn to live and have joy through them, making the
best of your emotions, instead of them making the best of you. Isn't
this when we truly learn things anyway? When our comfort circles of life
are cracked and we realize we really can't do this on our own, and that
this life is soooo small compared to our existence we Pass the test! Make
the best of those emotions!
Plus
my mother would HAAAATE it out here! The humidity on the bike cuts you
like a knife to the core! This is the coldest I've ever known... I'm
almost... cold sometimes... hard to admit!
Well
time is up way too fast today! I'll just have to say more next week! I
love you all so much, and have a great February!!!! Make it count!
PS: We
just went to the beach this morning and got some great sunrise pictures
on the ocean (not in)! Forgot to mention that. That was great too! It's
been so great!!! What a great week!!!! Can't wait for the next one! I
love all of you! Stop growing so fast until I get back!
