Hi Everyone! I hope this week has been a great one for all of you! Nothing too crazy has been going on here. A quick summary of what happened: service, teaching, and a lot of finding.
Our service this week was helping a member of the ward set up a pool. It was extremely muddy, so it was dirty work, but it went pretty quickly and cleaned up well. It was a lot of fun. We also found a little frog while we were doing it.
Teaching this week was pretty slow. Meaning we, unfortunately, did not have a lot of lessons. The lessons we did have were pretty good! We were able to bring members with us and the Spirit was very strong!
Another cool thing that's happened this week is we had a missionary farewell talk at church! That's 2 in the last 3 weeks now! It's awesome to hear the testimonies of these people as they are leaving on their own missions for the next two years.
Because we haven't had many lessons we have been putting in a lot of effort to find new people to teach! We haven't seen a ton happen yet, but we will keep on trying new things!
My spiritual thought for this week is Alma 5:28. In which Alma says:
"Behold, are ye stripped of pride? I say unto you, if ye are not ye are not prepared to meet God. Behold ye must prepare quickly; for the kingdom of heaven is soon at hand, and such an one hath not eternal life."
Pride is at the root of pretty much everything that goes contrary to God! We must be humble to feel God's power acting in our life in a greater capacity. I invite all of you to listen to the talk "Beware of Pride" by Ezra Taft Benson and think of how you can improve this coming week!
Love you all! Let me know if there's anything I can do for you!
Love,
Elder Goold
PS Here's a glimpse at our family phone call this week (Dad in Saint George, Mom at home, Spence at Walmart, Cami and Lucie at home in Alabama, Emma at her apartment in Provo, me here in Oregon, and Ellie at her apartment in Rexburg. We were just missing Garrett!)
