I have been studying a lot about gratitude recently, and have been trying to have prayers of thanksgiving often. It helps me to be happy, even when things are crazy. This week we had about 4 sets of people come to church that we have been teaching. The Zamora family, Abel, Alfredo, and Daniel Hernandez. It was the first time that Daniel had come to church in a really long time. He seemed to have a good time, and even participated a little bit. Abel was great as well. Everyone who came to church stayed the full three hours. That's awesome. It also meant that Elder Perkins and I have to run all over the place trying to help each of those people have a good experience, and get fellowship and help from the ward. It was crazy. It was a really great Sunday. Elder Perkins even gave a talk, on gratitude coincidentally.
We ought to be grateful both for what we have, and for our circumstances. There is always something to be grateful for. Gratitude helps us to be humble.
The Bundy family also "probably" moved their baptism to the 5th, but they are still pretty solid for being baptized. Alfredo is as solid as the Salt Lake Temple's foundation.
We were given a crazy referral from the Spanish Missionaries. They had just left an appointment when a car pulled up and a man asked if they were "the Mormons." He had the goal of creating a business of stopping the viruses. The viruses come from the shopping carts. He had a dream that told him that in order to stop the viruses he had to be baptized in the temple at Fresno. Unfortunately, Elder Perkins and I couldn't find him at the tire shop he said to meet him at. I enjoy talking to crazy people sometimes just for the stories, but Elder Perkins doesn't.
We are having a Turkey bowl today, that should be lots of fun.
Have a great week!
Elder Keeley
