Pretty awesome week this week!! President and Sister Stratford came to the Mansfield ward to speak Sunday. It was one of the best sacrament meetings I've ever been too! Sister Stratford gave a very emotional talk on the atonement, She shared the story about the lady in the movie "Meet the Mormons" the one who moved to Utah. She read out of a talk of hers and it was very touching and true. President's talk was very powerful. He related Alexander the great who had soo much power and land and what not that when he died it was all gone. Didn't matter a ton. But the one who did none of that, and had none of that. The one who's life was serving others, matters to this very day. It was Jesus Christ. He helped people feel loved. He atoned for all of our sins and because he did that, because us as members have that, we need to be sharing it with others. He challenged everyone to get involved with the missionaries and being missionaries. It was awesome! After church we had 3 meals that day. We're stuffed!
We are now having lessons with David and Eddie in the Morant's home and it's amazing! In the first lesson we had at their house we put them both on date for April 14th and he works Sundays but he was like "oh yeah Ill try to get them off!" It was awesome. We hope and pray everything goes as planned. Hopefully we can start doing it in more member's homes.
We decided it'd been sweet to start a basketball tourney at our church building in April to get people to the building. We have already invited a bunch of people. The day we started planning it we were out and about and drove past a park where some kids were playing ball so we stopped and asked if we could play. It was very awkward and it stunk asking but who cares. Anyways, we ended up playing them and Me and Elder Green killed them! hahaha! They were way good players, they just said you make it take it. So we got the ball back a lot and some how we didn't miss very many shots. It was kinda funny but we got them excited about coming to play in the tournament! It should be a good time!!! Elder Green played ball in high school and he's a stud!! I just have to give him the ball.
The day before we played those guys the weather was way nice!! I was walking around in a short sleeve shirt and we decided to pull out the grill I got from the Hindbaugs in-laws, started up some charcoal and brought our couch out. I marinated some chicken that morning and cooked those up while Elder Green made some rice and we made teriyaki bowls and they were so flipping good! It tasted just like summer and heaven mixed!! hahaha but then it got cold that night and started snowing yesterday night and we woke up with two inches of snow this morning. Gosh dang, and I thought Utah was confused.
