Week 81 - Choosing to be humble instead of being compelled to be humble.

This week was great! The weather has been getting better and better! It's been cold the past couple of days, but it's supposed to be warmer this week. How's the weather in Utah? Summer's on its way!

S and her son L came to church yesterday!! Since L is 10 and he doesn't have any friends in the primary yet, he wanted me to go to primary with him so he wasn't alone. It was good being in primary with all the little ones. We learned about service and obedience to the commandments. L is a very mature 10 year old, and he looked pretty bored. We'll see what we can do about that. Afterwards, we invited him to come play soccer and basketball with us today for p-day, so hopefully he can come! Apparently during Gospel Principles, they talked about general conference next week and she said she's going to come! So we're really excited about it. 

We're also teaching a man named R. He's from Mexico and his having a hard time here. He has been out of work for 3 months and is looking for a job, but hasn't been able to find one. We've been teaching him for a couple of weeks, and I really can see how humble he is because of his situation. In contrast to the people who are comfortable and prideful, R is open and willing to read and pray whenever we ask him to because he's in a position where he recognizes that he needs help. I've seen a similar pattern in my life. When things are hard and I recognize my need for God, I supplicate for his help, but in the other times, I seem to forget him. My mission has taught me to remember him always and rely on his help in the good and the bad. I wish more people could learn that in their lives. 

R is progressing pretty well, but he hasn't been to church yet. He has been reading the pamphlets we give him and he's been praying, but we're hoping he comes to church this next week.He's been coming along pretty well, so I think he'll be coming soon. 

The work is moving along here in Indy! We're working as hard as ever and we're starting to see the fruits of our labor. I ask you to continue praying for us and pray that our faith will increase so we can see more miracles in our area.  Have a great week!
