The Parable of Finding The Elect

And it came to pass that Elder Cahoon, Elder Scott and Elder Thurber began to preach the word unto the city of St. Petersburg.  For the people were a more stiffnecked and wicked people. Nevertheless they did impart the word unto them. And as they taught they were cast out. But because of their faith in Christ they went down another time to find those who were ready to be baptized. They called and called and called people. And many people declined their calls. But they did not give up in their trials for they were strong in in faith of their Lord.  As they were thus preaching a phone buzzed and a women desired to learn more about the Gospel and was prepared to hear of the message from the messengers of God!! And thus the messengers of God were exceedingly glad beyond measure!!! And thus ended the week. 

So this week was pretty good!! Mostly because ELDER BEDNAR TALKED TO US!!!!!!! That was so cool!! He is actually super funny!! We did a zoom call meeting with him and got to ask him questions. We learned about meekness and what it truly means. He explained that meekness is having power to obliterate an opponent but you don't do it.  An example is Christ.  As he was being crucified and dying on the cross, he could at any point destroyed those who were torturing him with ease, but He didn't.   He demonstrated meekness. 

It was a great experience to listen to an Apostle!! So other news, Elder Blanchard left and in his place we got Elder Scott! We are still in a trio!  Elder Scott is pretty cool and is goof at break dancing!! He is also one of my District Leaders.  It is kinda nice just being able to talk to him about his District and/or responsibilities without having to make a phone call. 

We have some good lessons planned this week so I'm really excited!! Love all of you and have a great week!!
