Green Bay Round 2

So this week went by super fast! We had a ton of stuff at the beginning of the week! We had Interviews and District Meeting on Wednesday. Then we exchanged with the Zone Leaders. So I got to stay in Green Bay for Wednesday and some of Thursday with Elder Jeffs. That was super fun to be back in the old area and get to talk to some of the members again! We had a dinner with some members and then we went to the Ward Mission Leaders house for a meeting and he took us out to a restaurant. So we had 2 dinners!! It was super unhealthy but its whatever. Then Thursday we had a lunch appointment with a member who fed us a ton of food, and then had us help him move some stuff to the upstairs of his house. So we stayed really busy until Friday and then we did a lot of tracting. It was pretty good though! Finding lots of potential here in Marinette still! We have a new investigator this week we found and his name is Ken. He is super cool and seems pretty interested in what we have to say! So we are excited for him! But other than that we had a couple appointments fall through but we will be alright. Then church yesterday was awesome! We had a super spiritual sacrament meeting about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. So the spirit was super strong and then in Sunday School and Priesthood we talked about the importance of the Book of Mormon and then how our service can help us build our own testimony! So that was good! And we are going to Green Bay today for P-Day so I am pretty pumped!!

But here is a little spiritual thought for ya. In 1 Nephi 16 Nephi breaks his bow so they can't hunt as well. And instead of complaining Nephi of course goes and makes a bow out of wood. And then he asks his dad where he should go to hunt. Lehi doesn't just say where to go, but he first inquires of the Lord. I think sometimes we can try to do things on our own, like making the bow. But we have to rely on the Lord for the best results. If Nephi didn't inquire of the Lord as to where he should go, then they probably wouldn't have had food to live. I know that relying on the Lord is what we all need. He is the way, the light, and the truth. I love this Gospel, and I love the Lord. Hope you all have a great week!
