WOW Meredith's teeth look so straight. What the heck? I almost
forgot she had braces. Wait, when did she have braces? Also Nick looks like a
super stud.
Tuk Laak last week was pretty good. There were a lot of
people that stood us up, but that's normal. It's just different from the
provinces; here you can't just go to people's houses to meet them you have to
actually set an appointment and then remind people. I'm still transitioning back
to city mode. This area is pretty infamous for being a difficult area, and I
remember people telling me that they had only gotten 5 or 6 lessons a week in
this area before, and I can see why, but we're really trying to go hard with
members. There is a member named Ming Sophal who has a nephew that lives with
her and the ming wants her nephew to learn, but he's Catholic. So we invited him
to English class and shared some of our beliefs, but he wasn't super down. Then
the other night the sisters called and said that they convinced him to just try
ONE lesson, and he said he would, so the pressure's on. We have one lesson to
hit him with the truth. There are also other members that are showing us to
other less active members that haven't been met in a long time. This area will
start to get going. Especially since President just set a standard of
excellence for 18 lessons a week. In most areas that's a piece of cake, but
that's what I am striving for in this area.
Ammon spent probably his whole life sitting on his papa's
(King Mosiah's) throne with his papa. When he was a baby all the way until he
was messing around with his friends pretending to be king when he was teen
aged. Then as a grown man, he was on a mission and found himself placed in front
of King Lamoni's throne--a very familiar environment for him. I assume that
somebody else that wasn't as comfortable with royalty would have made some
cultural mistake or maybe would have just been too scared to speak with
boldness, but God knew Ammon's strengths, so he used that strength to
accomplish His work. Think of how many strengths God has given us, and then
think of how we can be like Ammon to use those strengths to advance Gods
work.
