Don't Limit God [Week 7] (Palmdale)

Heaaaay

This week was all over the place but I'll try and cover the good stuff. We always teach Will on Tuesday, and that is lot of fun. He has awesome faith and humility. He is struggling with understanding how important the Priesthood is, so we are asking him to pray specifically about that. We brought the Nichols with us, they are in their 70s and are so darned cute. Sister Nichols started being extremely bold in telling Will that his previous baptism didn't count and things almost got awkward. But thankfully, it was a positive lesson, and the Nichols didn't seem too racist. (we were legitimately worried about that. 

On Wednesday we tracted for a few hours. We are very picky about where we tract since our area is huge. So we looked at our area map on the wall and we both sat their for a little bit and we pointed at where we felt we should go at the same time and we both pointed in the same spot. So cool. 

Anyway we met a man named David who has a lot of faith, a lot of humility, and the best part, he has a family! We talked to him about his life and about the gospel for 45 min, and he said something I really liked. We were talking about how when we do things we need to give glory to god, because through him all things are possible. Then he said "We limit God, because we limit ourselves" Let us do our very best to never limit God! I am very guilty of this. I think, oh, this person can't get baptized or convert (because of whatever reason) But in all reality, God will work miracles through our obedience. 

Last thing. Our ward has anywhere from 130-180 people in sacrament meeting, and there are 780 records in the ward boundaries :O Turns out people don't move to Littlerock or Pearblossom to socialize or even to be found. Every less active member we visit with has a story but more importantly, a testimony. Though dormant, it can be reactivated. Hopefully it can spew its hot testimony lava all over the town's at the bottom of the volcano. Take that as you will. 

I love you all. I still have two weeks left in the transfer (at least) , since this is a seven week transfer. 

Write me letters or don't or emails or don't.
