Elder Pearson and his first snowman (see previous post)
So Christmas was pretty sweet. I got to sleep in. Call home. Go get a good breakfast. Play Bop-It. (and dominate it) And spend the rest of the day with a sweet family. I also saw my old comp Fairbanks at the end of the day.
Every year for Christmas Eve my family breaks open a pinata. I told one of my investigators that and she dropped one off a couple days before Christmas. It was sweet! I took it to the Dumas' where we spent all of Christmas. They have some younger kids who had fun with it. Then I had to step in and show em how a Texan hits a pinata. We had Pappa Murpheys pizza for dinner and got home not too late. Great Christmas.
No real spiritual experiences this week. Although, Elder Henke and I just happened to be at Ed's house when the kids dropped off the $400 worth of presents they bought for them. The whole family was thrilled. It truely made their Christmas special. That's what it's all about aint it? Helping others?
I also heard a really cool story and quote. Story first, A man walks into a barber shop and starts up a conversation while he's getting his hair cut. They somehow get talking about religion. The barber says he doesn't believe in God. He said there are too many bad things that people do and too many bad people in general for there to be a God. The man quickly paid and left the barber shop after his hair was cut kind of frustrated with the barber. A minute later the man went back into the barber shop and said he didn't believe in barbers. The barber called him an idiot and said you're looking at one. The man said he was just outside and saw too many people with long hair. Too many people who needed their hair cut for there to be a barber. And he left.
Just because people don't follow what our Heavenly Father has told us to do, doesn't mean he doesn't exist. "Each of us is an inn keeper who decides if there is enough room for Jesus"
It's been great to hear from yall that have written me, keep it up. Keep praying for Morgan Grebe. Pray for Elders Sansom and Dowd who fell asleep at the wheel and flipped their car (currently in the hospital). And please pray for me and Elder Henke this transfer. He's a bit tougher to get along with and love than most companions. Merry late Christmas and have a Happy New Year
