You're in a lifeboat stranded at sea when you look up and see a cloud 10 feet above you in the air. On said cloud there I am talking to all of you. Now that the setting is set, How is everyone doing? Here in good old South Dakota things have been great. Today I was able to go up to Newell where everyone is still living in the 50's and help someone bring their 120 pound dog to death by injection. Poor dog was ready to go but the owner seemed to have a hard time with the loss. She'll be alright though. Tonight we are having dinner with Elizabeth (I guess it is Sister Denton now) and teaching her kids again so pray for their dad to let them get baptized if that ends up being what they desire! This past Tuesday we did Exchanges with the ZL's which was a good time! I stayed here in Belle Fourche and we taught someone named Bradly. I have mentioned him before as that one guy with 5,000 crystals and rocks under black lights who calls it their shrine, which is awesome, just not something I was raised around. Anyways we sit down with some Lofi beats going on in the background as he hits his vape and talks to us. Don't get me wrong, he is a very respectful person to us. Anyways he was telling us some hard times he has been going through and proceeded to tell us things that helped him through them. He whips out four rocks and holds one of them up and says something along the lines of "So with this rock you can see about 5 dragon heads and at this angle a couple birds, and my energy connects so much with dragons and things like this." He pretty much does this with each rock. Man I was trying not to laugh so hard.... they were literally just random rocks you can find anywhere on the ground that have no appearance of a dragon. Haha. He talked about how he wants to put a presentation on with us and present it at church because he feels it can really help people. Love the guy. We also taught Cory who has a blood clot in his head and could die at any moment. Throughout the remainder of the week we had a lot of other great lessons as well. But since this past week has been so much warmer outside for a new finding strategy we took a white board and wrote "Buying gf 90gp '' on it and went into the public. Sadly, It didn't work so we tried offering up rare chocolate to people in exchange for 5 minutes of their time when in reality the rare chocolate was just a burnt swordfish. For some reason we didn't find too much success with that either. We did however find an elect trailer park. It was on Saint Patrick's day and a bunch of people were leaving and loading the cars to go to DeadWood for a party. At first I was like aww man everyone is leaving but we managed to talk to all of them before they could escape haha. Most of them were so interested and we will be going back on Thursday to meet with 4 separate people there. This Sunday was a little disappointing though. We had so many people say they would be there at church with yes's and only 2 people actually showed up. Last week there were 6 so kind of sad but that's alright! Anyways no video this week but getting one ready for next!
Please read 3 Nephi 13: 25-26! 25 And now it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words he looked upon the twelve whom he had chosen, and said unto them: Remember the words which I have spoken. For behold, ye are they whom I have chosen to minister unto this people. Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Ponder that for me (:
