We just got done playing frisbee golf, 18 holes. I averaged like a boogie on each hole, so that was great for me. 3 pars though! We went with the APs, my old comps.
The weather here is really nice right now. Around 60s all the time, so perfect for being outside. We had the camera crew on us this week, that was an experience. My favorite part is when they want to get close ups of our faces when we are walking around, but they want to get the front view, so the camera man slowly walks backwards in front of us. It was a really awesome day when they were here. Some cafe gave us two loafs of bread for a grand opening, and then 5 minutes later we stopped a lady who said she had a sick hungry friend. So we were able to give her some bread! We also set up a lesson with her to talk about Gods plan! So that is exciting! We also had a school presentation with some high schoolers. That was super fun and the kids loved it. They really liked us.
One really cool moment we had this week: We have been trying really hard to help people get excited about family history. Even people just randomly on the streets. We had picked this less active member to go visit whom we did not know. We get there to her house and she says she has been atheist for 40 years and she wont change. So as we talk I say a prayer asking that she would be interested to learn about family history with us. And I ask her and she says "I would be really interested in that! Wow! We talk some more and i tell a little about what i had found that morning studying about my own family. So many stories ! Turns out I have roots from liverpool. No wonder I root for them! But these stories got me so excited, so it was awesome to talk with her. She is going to come to a class with us and we are going to do it together!
I have really felt in my own life the joy that comes from learning about my family history. There is power that comes from that! There is a talk that I really liked that i read last week that named like 20 different blessings, it said "if you have ever prayed for any of these blessings, or hoped for these, or wanted these...you have already been given your answer. Do FH work. I am so excited to do more when I get home!
Love you all!
