A recent conversation went as follows:
A recent conversation went as follows:
Man: "hey man... what have you been
hittin?"
Me: "Excuse me?..."
Man: "You're gettin’ super skinny man, it
looks like you've been doing drugs."
Me: "gosh... Well, I don’t know what to
tell ya man?..." *in my head, "wow that’s the nicest compliment I've
ever been given here in Kisumu"
So, I guess all these morning exercises have
been helping! Or I have worms... But I think it’s the exercises... But I think something
is wrong with my head. Lately I have been waking up before my alarm goes
off? I've been cooking delicious and healthy food? There
has not been a dirty plate left in the sink for more than 10 seconds? The
apartment has been cleaner than any other apartment I have ever seen owned by
missionaries? And my closet is staying organized?... I think
something is wrong... It sure is a change, but change is good! And I think this
is really helping me to become a better missionary and a less wild (kinda
sad...) man.
I don’t
have much to say this week, but we went to Eldoret for a mission tour with
Elder S Mark Palmer! And it was one of the best days of my entire mission! The
spirit was so strong, and he said many things the strengthened me, and sparked
an inner reflection. At the beginning of the whole meeting he shook each and
every one of ours hands and looked deep into ours eyes, and when he did that, I
was kinda like "Gosh... this guy knows more about me than I know about
myself right now,..." And it was amazing! Then he told us about light, and
it reminded me of my favorite scripture, Matthew 5:14-16- I really don’t have a
lot of time because I’ve got to write something else, but read the scripture
and ask yourself "What can I do to better let my light shine?" And
then remember that just as important as what you do is who
you are! We must always be looking for ways to develop our Christ
like attributes, so that we can glorify our Father which art in heaven!
Woo hoo! I love scriptures!
Love you all! Goodbye for now!
