HI Y'ALL!!!:D
So this week was crazy because we had several meetings and exchanges. Yesterday we had Zone Conference in Shreveport and lasted it most of the day, which is why I didn't write y'all yesterday. Part of our Zone Conference we had the opportunity to go and talk to everyone. Each companionship had an assignment and ours was to invite people to church tours!:D We went door to door talking to people for about an hour. We met this lady named Aaron and she was really nice, not interested, but nice. Then we met this guy named Joe Miller, super nice and very open. Turns out he doesn't work because of a severe accident he had back in January. He broke his legs and his back and just barely got out of using a wheel chair. Really nice cool guy, which he was in our area! Anyway, we talked to him for a few minutes, getting to know him and then invited to him to come to a church tour. He told us he'd like to come to one of the services and learn more about what we believed. We asked for his information and gave it to the Elders serving in that area. One of the things that was talked about a lot was how important it is to talk to everyone and how Heavenly Father places choice spirits or people in our path and how it's our purpose to be bold and determined to talk to everyone we met. It was all so good!:D
A week from last Saturday I lost by mini quad! for a full week! Never will I do that again. It makes a huge difference in your week when you can't really study, study. I wasn't happy and I didn't have that extra layer of spiritual armor that I needed. It's amazing how much it affects you and how you respond to challenges. I know that the Book Of Mormon is true and that we need it not just to read but to study, apply and give us the spiritual strength and power to overcome trials and work through problems that we face. Not having my scriptures for a week helped me realize how much I need them, and how critical studying brings the Spirit in our lives. Without that study every single day, our faith is weaker, we fall easier to temptation, and we're not happy. And so much more. Studying everyday is something I plan and will do at least for an hour each day.
Sorry y'all that this email is so short! We had trouble finding computers to use because the library was super busy and the family history center was being used. Also next p-day will be on Monday so just to let y'all know:D
Love Y'all!!!!
Love, Sister Keables
Cutest Sisters in the MJM!!
