Elder Anderson is my hero. he is pure.
He is one of those people that you don't even have the desire to sin
when he is around. We do great work together. Everyone is willing to
listen to us because he is tall, blonde, and blue eyes, and well I am
white too. haha. Sometimes people ask if we are brothers. It is funny.
Talking mad english though...
This week we got
to know some good people. One girl made me laugh. She is a less active,
and we were looking for her cousin, but she came around the corner and
talked to us, we invited her to church and she was like, "I am a dancer
and after we perform I go to after parties and so I can't go to church
because I feel bad for the things I do the night before" That was so
ridiculous for me and didn't think about her again.
Few
days later we went back to visit her cousin, and we run into her again,
and she told us, "I am done dancing, It is not worth it, my body hurts,
I was awake until 4 am
last night, will you guys teach me? My boyfriend wants to listen too,
he always asks me what we believe but I honeslty don't know" It gave me
a good laugh how fast people can change. We agreed as long as her
boyfriend was there. We are always looking for priesthood holders. haha
Here comes the spiritual part...
We
were teaching her cousin.... Returned missionary. 34 years old.
Returned missionary, not married. His girfriend is 25, she has a 15 year
old, and they have a girl together. She is not a member. I was talking
to them and just wanted to throw in the towell.
then that still small voice said, "If you don't have hope, they never will"
I
have learned that. If I don't bring the spirit to the house, they won't
feel it. If I don't believe in the power of hope, they won't either.
We don't do things for law. We do them to help people. I know it is
true.
