New food of the week: I ate baklava and a gyro. Super yummy.
So our investigator Bryan came to institute and we were talking about uplifting things to fill our life with to bring the Spirit into our lives. Bryan said, "Ya, I like to listen to good Christian bands like Creed and POD that are so spiritual!" Oh dear. Um..... Yikes. However Bryan is more excited for his baptism. Just focusing on him receiving his answer to his prayers.

Valentines Day we did a bunch of service. For two hours we cleaned a Less actives home who has to giant huskies (polar bear size) who shed like crazy. The house hadn't been cleaned in like five years. After decluttering, sweeping, mopping, dusting, we made a dent :) All for the sake of gaining trust and loving this less active member :) It was good tho
This week we visited with three less actives who were offended. Ridiculous but real. I recently read Bednar's "Be not offended" talk that teaches amazing principles on taking offense and helping the "offended" Is it really worth losing blessings of the gospel? Losing opportunity to take the Sacrament? Losing guidance of the Holy Ghost? I think not. We have this amazing opportunity to work with these less actives and help them see the blessings of what they once had.
Yesterday, we had dinner with the Munk family. They had the Kufahls over for dinner. Sister Kufahl is a less active coming back. Her husband is nonmember. Her 11 year old son, Skyler, wants to be baptized. We began to teach him yesterday the Restoration and the importance of the Book of Mormon in coming to know. We extended the invitation to read to the husband as well, although he is just sitting in to learn more about the church. He accepted the invitation. We will continue to teach Skyler inside the Munk's home. This is an amazing set up because the Spirit is felt so much inside their home.

Saturday, Sister Giese (best cook ever) fed us ribs, biscuits, potato salad, red velvet cake, and cherry pie. All homemade. Yummy!!!
Love you all!
