Well this week was crazy! Went to the Temple, have no money, got Chikungunya, found like a billion people and then nobody came to church.... it was pretty nuts. This mission stuff is really tough when you work your guts out and nobody wants to go to church. Does anybody have any tips or hints or methods to bring people to church because we've tried everything.. well, almost everything.. (haven't paid them yet like Elder Bingham hahahha) but I was reading Helaman 5 this morning and this is when Lehi and Nephi left the judgement seat to just preach the Gospel and they are seriously sooooo awesome. Just powerful men. But look at what verse 6 says:
6 Behold, my sons, I desire that ye should remember to keep the commandments of God; and I would that ye should declare unto the people these words. Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents who came out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I have done that when you remember your names ye may remember them; and when ye remember them ye may remember their works; and when ye remember their works ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good.
Remember what name you represent. I'm proud to be a Johnson and Uribe and this scripture made me realize the importance of always remembering who you are and who you represent.
This week I'm thankful for medicine, for soup, Jesus the Christ, The BOM, my fam, shoes, pants, good member friends, running water, anddd THE TEMPLE
