Getting back into the Swing of Things

2 Jan 2017

Monday:
Just getting’back in the swing of things here. Christmas Eve (Saturday) at 5:00 we went to a less-active member’s home (R* Family) to read the Christmas story and then eat dinner. It was rather enjoyable. From then ‘til today at 6 has been pure fiesta. Needless to say, It’s been quite the different week. So, whaddya do to  get back in the swing of it all? Not quite sure what you do. I generally try to do everything, EVERYTHING on my to-do list. I get so worried focusing on things that I don’t even have time to be lazy or even to think twice.

Martes:
Went to the district meeting today. I taught about humility. We played the Stats Die Game. Ezra Taft Benson said that Pride is centered on Enmity, and is Competetive, or Comparative, in nature. All those that played the game were all competing and comparing between points instead of focusing on the points THEY had. The winners were prideful, yes, but the very element of competition is pride. That caught everyone off guard.

Then we came back and visited a few people. We visited a less-active member and his non-member girlfriend. They listened to us and when we helped K* (the girlfriend) understand the principle of a prophet and its application today, she took more interest in our message. The most important part, however, was when she prayed. The Spirit she felt as she ended her first prayer was something special. Remember that. And make every prayer worth it.

Miercoles:
Today we painted. And painted. And painted. It was rather dull. Then we went with C*.
