well this week was a pretty quiet week i would say. sounds like you guys were pretty chill too. that`s weird what they did with karissa and her job. it doesn`t really make a lot of sense. it`s true though that if she gets let go she`ll be kinda stuck, and who knows, she might have to go back to being a sweeper! :) i`m sorry though, i still don`t think you guys understand this heat haha. at least you guys can just sit in the house and be ok, you`re not just sweating even sitting around doing nothing. i`m used to it a little, but it`s still super hot and i`m always sweating. i imagine a good utah summer will feel just great :) if you go to the blog like half way down or so there`s a picture of me with two other guys, then of someone else, then me again, that someone else is my companion. he`s a little crazy guatemalan, but he`s cool.
so this week, what happened this week? i think it was like thursday morning we got a phone call from someone saying that they`re neighbors that just got baptized had a reference for us. they said that the wife was talking to their neighbor the other day and the neighbor was sick, so the wife mentioned how we give blessings and talked about that a little and the neighbor said she would like that. so we went over that day in the afternoon and gave her a blessing. it was pretty cool. she was super nice to us afterward and said she wants to go to church and wants us to come back, so we`ll see how it all turns out, but i think there might be something there.
we had another visit from elder amado yesterday too. he came for stake conference and it was really cool. i just love the way he speaks. i`m sure dad knows. he`s kind of an intimidating guy cause you just know that when he sees you he can read your soul and can give some good machetes, but it`s super cool. he answered one of my life long questions of when the spirit enters into the baby. without explaining it all, he talked a little bit about how we`re born of water, or the liquid inside the womb that represents water, and of blood, and then the spirit, saying the spirit enters our body when we`re born. now that confuses me about abortions and what happens there, but at least following what he says, that`s what happens haha. he also said something really cool to the effect of it`s marvelous to cry with those that cry, console at those that stand in need of comfort, cause sometimes we just need someone to listen to us, to cry with us when we`re crying, and maybe we don`t even know why we`re crying, if only just because we`re filled with love and compassion and mercy, and that`s how you show those things. i don`t know, i just really liked that. just overall it was a super good talk, i hope he becomes an apostle or something, i don`t know how well his english is, but he`s fun to listen to.
the shadow of this week came from this somewhat nasty cold i`ve had. i don`t know how i got it, but just one night i didn`t sleep very well and when i woke up my nose was all stuffed and i was coughing and all that jazz. it lasted like that for about 2 days, and then on sunday morning it got a little worse. my stomach was just killing me, maybe for hunger, but i ate breakfast so i don`t know why, and then i got a fever, and so i was just wiped. luckily president and hermana ward were there for the stake conference so i talked to her and she gave me some tylenol that were just like miracle pills. i felt a ton better after, even though i know the sickness was still there. but then last night i did sleep pretty well, and right now my throat is bugging me a little, but that`s about it. president gave his goodbye yesterday to our stake cause he`s leaving on like the 3 of july or something like that. we`re gonna try to see if we can take a family to the temple with him before he leaves, but we`ll see how it goes i guess.
and, i think that more or less sums it up. a pretty quiet week. we`re lacking a little on people to teach right now. we do have a few but just not too many, and no one is really progressing, but we`re hanging in there and still think we can have success this change. and i hope everyone has a great week, good luck to trev, i know he`ll do good :) and i`ll talk to ya next week!
much love,
elder paskett
