That's right, I had the pleasure of another Crawfish Boil!!
Man I love them so much. It's the beginning of Crawfish season here and one of
the members had a fresh catch and had us over. These little guys we're HUGE!
They said because of covid last year there weren't nearly as many boils as
usual so some of the crawfish got growing nice and big.
Other than that, someone we're teaching straight up cooked
up some Ribeye steaks for us this week🤣. We couldn't tell you
why, but he did and he is so awesome. I've never been able to gain weight
before but I wouldn't be surprised if I could put on some poundage while I'm
here in Alec.
The Lord has been plopping people into our lap recently It's
been crazy. We drove out to the boonies to visit a member one day and we
finally get there and talk for a bit, walk around her property(absolutely
beautiful by the way) , and then go sit on the porch to share a message when
she turns to her electrician working on her house and is like "Greg(not
his real name), take a break and come listen to these boys' message about
Jesus". Greg doesn't really know what to do but knows he likes Jesus so
agrees. What's crazy is we had planned this lesson for Sister Williams and her
young grandkids who were gonna be there, but they weren't...it seemed like just
out of no where they had to leave, each kid to something else. For some reason
we both felt to keep the lesson the same.
So we start talking
about testimonies and read about nurturing that testimony with patience, faith
and diligence from Alma 32. We then do our little Round Robin technique Elder
Roderick and I do where everyone goes around and bears their testimony about
something they've learned. It just happened that we ended with Greg's
testimony. He bore the purest, simplest, sweetest testimony of how God is in
his life. He's a recovering heroine addict, mentioned a ton of different
miracles that led him here and just expressed deeply his desire to put God's
will over his own. God has a plan for Greg and Greg is ready to follow it!!
God is invested in our lives. He has invested in our lives.
He has given his Only Begotten to suffer and die so we can rejoice and live.
"He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!” "
