Goals and Progression

Last week was fast Sunday and it was fantastic.  I was able to witness the miracle of the Atonement of Jesus Christ in action on the life of a member of our Ward.  (No specifics, but it was inspirational).  While I was sitting in Fast and Testimony meeting I felt the need to look up a scripture, so I found the reference and read it.  I didn't understand at all why I needed to look it up.  I didn't plan on talking in the meeting or anything, but I found it just the same.

After Sunday meetings, the missionaries texted me and asked if I could go on splits with them.  Well I couldn't pass up a chance like that, so I said yes.  That evening I went with Elder B2 and we were headed to visit another person's home, but stopped a lady on the street and started talking to her.  She wasn't very receptive, but her husband came out and started talking with us.  We sat out on his patio and talked with him for over an hour.  During the visit I felt impressed to read the scripture I looked up earlier, to this man.  It was the perfect scripture and caused him to think deeply about his relationship with Christ.  The spirit was there and I know that that man felt it.  I was very blessed to be able to witness that great visit.  Thanks Elder B2 for letting me go with you!

Also during this week, I finally accomplished a goal I set for myself earlier this summer.  I don't remember if I mentioned that I was inspired by one of the previous elders to try to get in shape,so I have been swimming fairly regularly this summer.  It's not to lose weight, I don't have that problem, it's more to gain better cardiovascular fitness.  So I set a goal to swim a mile, well Wednesday I went for it.  I actually swam a mile, and then did it again on Friday.  (This doesn't have anything to do with missionaries staying in my home, except that they are the ones to inspired me to do it. Elder B challenged me to swim more, so I did it.  Thanks Elder B).  Okay, so I am entitled to brag every once in a while, after all it's my blog.

Anyway, there's not much else to report on this week.  Sorry for the bragging, I will try to do better next week.

Be awesome this week!
