"This week was crazy as ever. Gladys Knight, and the Saints United Voices performed in LasVegas. Basically it's a choir that pumps up hymns, and they sing. It was a pretty good time. The adversary is working over time because it was a hassle, and a half trying to get any of our investigators there but it turned out. One of our investigators- the one who dumped me- he came. At the beginning I told him "Are you going to be embarrassed when I get into it? When I dance, and clap?" He said "no, I expect nothing less out of you Sister Smith." Well the tables turned, and he was wayyy more into it than I was. He cried during "I am a Child of God,"and during a jazzed up Hawaiian hymn he was dancing, at one point he was literally the only person in the whole place who was standing and swaying back and forth. It was a great time. It reminded me of dancing to Christian pop, on a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Long live Jerusalem!
We are at dinner the other night and a little girl says "let's tell scary stories!" Her 4 year old brother turns to me, and yells "CAT WITH A KNIFE!!" I died laughing. I am still dying laughing. Why are kids the funniest things around?
One of my investigators is getting baptized this weekend! He is so great! He requests us to sing songs to him and he just want to talk about Heavenly Father and how great He is all day long.
Lately I just think about how come people don't try. Our investigator is obsessed with how he won't be able to quit smoking or drinking coffee and I turned to him and said "Why not try? How sad is it that you are calling defeat already when you haven't even tried? The Lord blesses those who try, but He can't do much with those do don't put in any effort." It has really made me think about that. Lots of times people are happy, but they could just try and be happier, Or they have a testimony but the scriptures say that the mysteries of God will be unfolded to those that search.It's just sad to me how many people just let life past them by before they even put in an inch of trying.
Anyways life is great! I love my area, my investigators, and my companion, and I love the Savior. So life is great!"
