Hello! I can't wait to
see Grandma and Grandpa's new pole barn and drive way. Exciting stuff!
The past couple of
P-days we've went to Daybreak. There is a little "lake" where some of
us go fishing or play basketball. It can be kind of fun. We are going again
today. The 70's sound so nice right now. Church yesterday was so good. A teenage
girl shared her testimony and told us this story:
There was a guy named
Steve. He got kicked out of one of his classes and got put into seminary. He
was kind of obnoxious. The seminary teacher talked to him after class one time.
"You think your pretty tough dont you?"
"Yeah I do 200
push ups a day" Steve said
"Do you think you
could do 300?"
"Maybe" said
Steve
"Work on it"
said the teacher.
Then one day in class
the teacher brings really delicious donuts, the best kind. He asks one of
the kids in the class if he would like a donut. The kid responded
"Yeah."
"Steve will you
do 10 push ups so that he can have a donut?" Steve agreed.
The teacher went to
the next kid and asked her. "Would you like a donut?"
"Yes" she
responded.
"Steve will you
do 10 push ups so she can have a donut?" He agreed. The teacher continued
to do this through out the class. There was 30 students in the class. The
teacher came to one kid who was the best athlete in school and asked him if he
would like a donut.
"Yes, but I can
do 10 push ups. Can't I do the 10 and earn the donut myself?"
"No. Steve has to
do the push ups for you to receive the donut." The teacher said. The
athlete rejected the donut. After him rejecting it, more people began to reject
it. Four more kids came into the class. Even though it began to get tough,
Steve did the push ups for those people as well.
So basically this
story is about the Savior. He suffered for each one of us, whether we want to
accept him or not. I was trying so hard not to bawl my eyes out during this.
Then in gospel principles class we talked about the law of chastity. I love the
law of chastity. It just makes so much sense. It makes me sad that the
world disagrees.
Yesterday was
also very sad. I won't tell you too much, but one of
our investigators asked us to come over because of a difficult
situation. It was probably one of the most uncomfortable situations I've been
in. I'm grateful that you and dad have stayed faithful to each other and never
got a divorce. Thank you for that example.
Nyakeer moved last
Wednesday. We said goodbye to her on Tuesday. We've had a lot of less active
lessons this week. We are still trying to find more people to teach.
I love you all family
. Your great.
Have a good week!
Love, Elder Alpin
This is Nyakeer with
her two daughters. Nafone is the older one and Adu is the younger one. She has
four boys too but they werent there.
