Elder Belnap and I are staying here in Monett
nothing to much going on so far we are still seeing the same people and doing the same things
A few cool experiences though:
Last Monday we opened our fridge and said "we have no food" so we decided to go to the store and get a bunch of food. Well a member ended up paying for our groceries - that was nice. And then every day since we have been given food by someone: total of about 5 loaves of homemade bread, dinner leftovers, several pounds of hamburger and a few steaks, 2 gallons of chocolate milk, 4 dozen eggs, and a bunch of other stuff #InStatesMission
Another: We went out with Brother Hoyt (loaded airline pilot), went to go see a family that we are helping to quit smoking. They had made it for 2 days so we were pumped (gave in day 3 though). After the visit the member asked us: How do you dudes stand it in there?
Us: what do you mean?
Member : That house was so inundated with smoke I could hardly breath; I felt like I was going to pass out!
Us: well I guess we are just used to it - haha
Second hand smoke for days! It will be strange to not spend tons of time in houses that smell like smoke, pet urine, and sweaty nasty person.
Also something cool I learned or figured out at district meeting: in Helaman 10:4 God tells Nephi that anything that he asks for will be done because Nephi wouldn't ask anything that wasn't righteous and what God wanted. So I have been pondering what I need to do to be there. In district meeting we talked about promising people blessings. We have the authority and calling to make promises as representatives of the Lord. If we follow the spirit when we make a promise the angels of heaven are waiting to go to work to make it happen. Talked about some pretty cool experiences with that as well.
Love yall and hope you have a great week
