Pretty good week, but nothing much super went on. I did finally learn how to spell Wednesday-
after 20 years of trying- I hate having a phone that doesn’t have auto-correct
and won’t take misspelled words. I have had to learn how to actually spell.
We did a lot of finding this week. And a few lessons and some follow ups. We
shared the Plan of Salvation with one this week. A new concept and a little confused about it
until we went into 1 Corinthians where Paul says they were caught up to the
third heaven. We explained this is the
three degrees of glory. That made
sense. Another is reading the Book of
Mormon, has prayed about it and feels good about it! So we are pretty excited
about that!
Had a discussion with another about trying to get answers to
questions that we already know. God is
not necessarily going to give us “another” answer to the question, when His
teachings clearly have answered the question in the first place.
We must to willing to obey the commandments God has in place
for us. If we do not, we might loss the happiness in this life- because that
happiness comes from doing what God wants you to do. If we put God first, things will work
out. We are here on earth to prepare to
meet God. Anything else that we do besides that is extra. But we still need to
put God first, or else we are not fulfilling our purpose on earth.
There is a drunk we see occasionally. He plays a song on his guitar, most always the same song. It goes “I smoke too much, I drink too much,
and I don’t sleep at night. I eat too much, I talk too much, and I don’t sleep
at night.”
It has been raining a lot here. Always! I think it rains
about 5-6 times a week this time of year.
I hear that New York is covered in snow- it’s big news here. Everyone talks to us about it!
Also got to teach the Gospel Principles class again this
week at church.
Been studying a lot about agency this week and different
types of agency. Moral agency is the
ability to choose between good and evil, when you know what good and evil
are. Agency is just choosing something without
having the ability to know good and evil.
Thanks everyone for everything! Hope you have a Great
Thanksgiving!
Love, Elder Stevenson
