Mother's Day

Well first off I want to thank all the mothers out there, mine especially for sitting down with me when I was younger and helping me to learn to read, that was for sure a hard thing to do but my mom killed it and thanks to her I can read haha for real Thanks Mom!  Hats off to all the other moms out there trying their hardest to make the world a better place by raising your kids the way they should be raised!
My week was a party, we went out worked hard, but it is hard to write about it because most of the time I put so much work in and I don't see the fruits of my labor, but that's the good old south! One of the nights we went exploring and we found these canals and they were so tight because they would run under roads and houses and it was so cool so see then we found a way old a abandoned house and that was kinda scary but still way cool (I got a picture or two).

We had dinner at the Eplings Sunday night and they are just the best, I told them I never had a Greenee meal (where all the food is green, its for new missionary's!) so they made me a green meal and it was awesome. It was funny because they were planning my funeral also so ya it was kinda funny, and it was awesome because I got  talking to Brother Epling and he loves hiking and it was so fun to just talk about hiking with some one that knew what I was talking about. The small things! 

Two more things, first Sunday we went over to see a guy we had on our old investigators list and we met this guy and wow he's so cool, turns out that he has been meeting with the missionary's for the past 8 months and he wants to start meeting again so ya that's awesome! Second, I had a good friend shed some light on some problems I have been having and it came in a scripture. Doctrine and Covenants Section 64: 9-14   9 Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin. 10 I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men.11 And ye ought to say in your hearts—let God judge between me and thee, and reward thee according to thy deeds.12 And him that repenteth not of his sins, and confesseth them not, ye shall bring before the church, and do with him as the scripture saith unto you, either by commandment or by revelation.13 And this ye shall do that God may be glorified—not because ye forgive not, having not compassion, but that ye may be justified in the eyes of the law, that ye may not offend him who is your lawgiver—14 Verily I say, for this cause ye shall do these things.  

I just love Ten it hit me so hard! Anyway that's all I got for you folks today love you all so much have a good week. keep on keeping on!
