We're each given
certain gifts and responsibilities from God to build the kingdom. We have
the Holy Ghost to always be with us, guys can have the responsibility of
the priesthood to bound things in heaven and earth, girls have the
responsibility of raising children that God has entrusted them with. These
are big things. How are we using these gifts and responsibilities? Imagine
you work in the log transportation industry. Everyday you have to haul logs
all the way from the nearest town with your bare hands....And you're in New
Mexico. Now imagine your boss surprises you with a brand new truck to help
you. How would you use it? Will you get logs or a jug of milk to throw in
the bed? Imagine you came back with a single log in the bed when it has
capacity for fifty, how would your boss feel? Do you ink he'd let you keep
using the truck? No, he's going to give it to someone else and take it from
you. Now how would Heavenly Father feel if you were using the gifts and
responsibilities given to you at their minimal potential, putting in the
least amount of effort possible? Do you think he'd be pleased, let you keep
the gift or reward you for it? Phhh no...He trusts us with these so that we
can help in building the kingdom and preparing the way for Christ's second
coming.

Got my new companion.
His name is elder Summers. I really like him, we get along well and even
have the same taste in music. Best of all, he's not from Utah! He's from
Chandler, Arizona.

Today we had
something kinda cool happen. Earlier a member called us asking about a
couple less active members and if they'd be ok with being offered to have
their kids picked up for activity night. There was one I didn't know
anything about. Later that day we had enough time to knock on about two
doors. So we prayed to ask which to knock on. The first door the guy wasn't
really interested. The second door was this family that the member asked
about earlier. Of all the hundreds and hundreds of houses in all of Winder,
Bethlehem, Carl, Aubrun, and Stahtam, theirs is the one we knocked on. We
didn't even know it was them or that they were members until we got to
talking.
