The earth didnt actually shake this week, but it seemed like a good enough title for the weekly letter.
So this week has been great to listen to
conference every day that I downloaded. Conference is fantastic. I
love it sooo much. I am super excited to read all the talks.
Preisthood session was my favorite. If you havent heard it yet, get it
and read or listen to it. Sooooo good. My favorite is Elder Eyrings
talk.
So President Rodrigues, the branch president is
fantastic. He also had an accident a few years ago, and so is in a
wheel chair. This week we were walking by his house, and we stopped
some of our investigators, and they said they had seen the branch
president sitting by himself a few blocks away. It turns out that his
electric wheel chair had died in the middle of the street, which was
great. Haha. He was stuck. Luckily his tablet had internet, and so he
used it to call one of the members. We found them a few moments later,
coming down the street, with the member, Alex, pushing the back of the
electric wheel chair. A fantastic sight with our branch president in
grand spirits. Haha. I love our branch president.
So
these days I have been learning courage and confidence. I still have a
loooooong way to go to be couragous, but I made some good steps this
week. Taking risks is good. Usually. There is a great talk I read
about the difference between sin and weakness which was great.
We
also took charge of integrating night to get it back going this week
because people have stopped coming. We had a good turnout. Maybe 30
people or so. Lots of new faces. We blew up baloons, and then everyone
tied the baloon to their shoe, and then tried to pop others without
theirs being popped. Inside the baloons were scriptures and stuff. If
your baloon got popped, you could get back in the game with another
baloon if you memorized the scripture and passed it off.
So.
The Lords work is great. It cant be stopped.
Love you all!!!
Elder Sampson
