Election Week

Monday, February 17, 2020 9:37 AM MST

This past week kind of took a toll on us.  The air up here is really dry and dusty and we both have had a cold because of that.  It's not bad though just something to deal with.  I don't know how you Utah people deal with dry air!

Also, it's election season here and there's a lot going on with that.  There's posters going up everywhere, people driving through with loud music and handing out stuff to people like it's a parade.  And the power keeps going out a lot and apparently it's tied to the elections.  It's a little crazy and it all ends with the election this Saturday, where it's supposed to get even crazy.  Apparently each election ends with a riot in the street so we're not supposed to go out this Saturday because of that.  

But we scheduled a baptismal service this Saturday without thinking, so we have to go out.  We gt approval to go out for it and then just go right back after.  It won't be a problem, especially because we're far from the capital, so I don't think much happens here.  But it will be an exciting day for us!  The other companionship has 5 baptisms set up, and we have one for our ami Honore.  I didn't help much with teaching him since I'm new here, but I am happy to see him take this step forward in his life!  He's so ready and we're excited for him.

This week I was reading in Acts chapter 3 when Peter and John heal the man outside of the temple.  What stood out to me was how after the man was healed, he remembered why he has healed.  He knew that God had blessed him.  So after he was healed, he went into the temple and was praising God.  We can learn a lesson from this man, we need to remember the Lord when he blesses us!  When life's going well, it's too often that we can forget that it's because God is blessing us.  We can often get too self centered and forget what He's done for us to get us there.  I think we all could do a little better with that.

No camera still but we heard there might be a place where we can buy one, so we'll check it out and hopefully I should have some pictures for next week.  Anyways, love you all and hope you have a great week!

This is a picture Elder Goddard sent to us before his camera broke.
Cute story...Elder Goddard's "son" randomly wanted a picture with this Elder who happens to be Elder Goddard's new companion Elder Culotta!!  So cool! :)
