So my companion has a music book and the title looks like it
would be pronounced "whole fart." So last night I asked her about it
and it took her by surprise when I asked her if that's what it said. It was so
funny.
For christmas we visited a lady named Cathy. She lives in a
nursing home and calls us her granddaughters and we call her grandma.
Apparently she takes the title very seriously because she told us that she
added us to her will. Anyway, we made her a sock monkey and bought her a statue
of Christ for christmas. When she opened the statue of Christ, she almost cried
and pointed to the lamb that was part of it and said, "And there's me, the
hundredth lamb." It was such a tender moment. I don't think I've ever really
thought of that parable in that way. I've always thought of me being the one
who needs to go out and find the lost sheep.
Another cool experience happened on Sunday. Someone we're
teaching that has been coming to church for the last 3 months has been refusing
to take the sacrament. She said on Sunday that she needs to make sure her heart
is in the right place before she feels that she is ready to take the sacrament.
It was a cool experience for me because it made me wonder how often I actually
think about how prepared I am for the sacrament. Taking the sacrament should be
a sacred experience and reminded me of that this week.
God is good!
