We can help them be happier!

Well this week was a pretty fun week here in the boonies! We had our first district council of the transfer in Tuesday and it was a blast! We rode with the senior couple on our way there and so we had a lot of fun with them, and they took us out to lunch so that was a bonus! We hadn't been to Bob's BBQ in quite a while so it was good food! Then we went and visited an older member of the branch who is in an old folks home and it was nice to be with him!

The rest of the week we did a lot of walking and met quite a few people. Luckily no crazy dog bites or anything like that! But it was super humid outside! It rains in the night or early morning and then the sun comes up and heats up the water in the air and on the ground and it gets hot and humid and wow. I can sweat quite a bit when it's like that! Honestly it's pretty crazy! So we had a good couple of days in the middle of the week and then Saturday came along!

Saturday we had nothing going on, but we had decided earlier in the week that it would be our day to go to Boscobel and try to visit some people over there. So we tried by a couple different formers, and then we went to Bill Parrish! Who we met a couple weeks ago and he told us to come back when we are in town. So he let us in for the second time, and we started talking to him about God and about how we know that God and Christ are two separate beings, and he very much agreed! He loves the Bible, and so he has some opinions. But then he says, "I believe in reincarnation"... So that confused me, so I asked him to explain making sure we were on the same page, and we were both thinking the same thing for reincarnation.... But the Bible for sure doesn't teach that so.... Not sure. Then elder Mecham asks him, "so where does Jesus Christ fit into your plan?" and then it got very powerful! The spirit was strong and we were able to testify that Christ came so we can live again! It was amazing!

Let's just be sure to remember the knowledge that we have is something special! We take for granted a lot the gospel that we have, but it's a wonderful thing that soo many people don't understand. We can help them be happier! Hope you all have a great week!
