Attitude Adjustment
Another week has passed and things have been pretty good
down here. The weather has cooled off considerably and we had a bit of much
needed rain the last couple days. Its been unusually dry for BC this year with
all the dead patches of grass everywhere. The cooler weather has made things
feel a lot easier to bear it seems.
Wednesday we decided to try and meet with Jonathan again. We
taught him the Restoration this time. He accepts everything, its just a matter
of whether or not he wants to act on what we're teaching him. He certainly
needs some prayers. He missed church again this week.
On Friday we had a big combined conference with the Chinese
zone. I learned a lot of things that day including how to improve something I
haven't been doing well lately: HAVING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. The key has been
told to me a few times but the idea somehow stood out to me more then before.
You just need to forget yourself and go to work, as President Hinkley's Father
told him when he was serving in England after he told him in a letter home that
he wasn't well and believed he was wasting his time and his Father's money.
I've found that with a positive attitude I have become a better
teacher and more people listen to what I say.
The teaching pool is still small. Levi and Sonya have been
away again, this time in Yellowstone National Park. Saturday we did see some
fruitful results from finding. We found an Indian guy named Paul. He drives
trucks for a living and he seems to be really friendly. He was set to come to
church but he got tied up with getting suddenly called into work that day and
felt bad about it. Yet another ball thrown by Satan. On the same street we met
a lady named Dawn who we're planning to see tomorrow. She has a husband and a
couple kids. During our weekly planning we came to the conclusion that we
needed to pray to find a family to baptize so perhaps this is a terrific
opportunity to do so!
Sunday we had a guy named Ian who met the Sisters a couple
weeks ago and came to church for the first time. He had never gone to church in
his life before and seemed uncomfortable at first but things got better for him
as the meetings moved along. That's really all there is to report for this
week. Sounds like quite the scorcher going on in Edmonton. Stay cool!
