Lot's Wife

Well I am sorry for the sad letter last week, but this past week was not much better!! I do have a way cool experience tho! So being in a small branch if someone does not show up to give their talk, there are only a number of people that can replace the speaker and I was one of them, and I knew this so I told the branch presidency that if they needed a speaker they can ask me. So about half way through the first speaker I get a look from the conductor and that look went a little like this "hey... can you speak..." me "Hmm ya" so I had less then 20 mins to plan to give a 20 min talk and that is hard to do well as least hard to do and not sound a like a idiot for 20 mins! But I got up there and I pull a Rob Loveland, " I have been preparing this talk my entire life!"  Then I whipped out a semi decent 20 min talk! But I talked about one of my new favorite Scriptures Luke 17:32. And it says, " Remember Lot’s Wife" and that's it yep 3 words (you can now see why I love it!) but iIreally love it way more then that just because it 3 words long and that is what I talked about. For us to understand why Jesus Christ was telling his disciples we have to recall the story of Lot and his poor wife. Lot and his wife was commanded by God to leave Sodom before He destroys the city. When they were leaving she looked back towards the city from behind her husband, against God's clear command. She was struck dead at once and turned into a pillar of salt. And our Lord Jesus Christ holds her up as a warning to his church. He says, "Remember Lot's wife." and stands as a testimony to not look back with resentment or longing, and that's what she did, she thought that there could not be anything better then what she had there!... Anyway I based my talk off a talk given by Jeffrey R. Holland " Remember Lot's Wife" its one of my favorite talks and I would highly recommended it! 

Well this week is transfers and I am once again getting moved, and I am moving to Vidaila so ya that's cool! But I wanted to thank everyone that has sent me a letter if it be by email or a hand written letter it really means a ton to me! and I THANK YOU!!!! anyway love you guys so much have a good week! 

 

Love,
