Hey everyone! Its been another week, and I hope you're as
excited as I
am about another addition to the LeBaron weekly!
So first things first, I ate so much food this week it's not even
funny. I'm so sick of food. This area is going to kill me. The members
here will feed us lunches pretty frequently, and sometimes even
breakfast, I didn't know that such a blessing could be such a curse. I
feel like I have no control over what is going in my body, and it
sucks because I had this system down in my last area, I was able to
recover from my first area Glendora and lose some weight. I gained 20
pounds in Glendora, what the freak man. White wards are the worst.
Luckily I was able to lose that but now my only hope is to some how
maintain in this area. Yeah right, I'm going to get fat, but its all
good I got a year to look good before I'm home, so no worries my
friends.
We had exchanges this week, and we were with a chinese elder. He's
super funny. It's always the best to be with people that are from a
different culture and see how they are adjusting the American way of
life. The strangest things came out of that guys mouth, but I love
him. When people are still learning english they will say some of the
most innapropriate things. Like dude, where did you hear that? You
can't say stuff like that! Haha. I got to drive again, and that was
super fun, I forogt how much I love driving. Something that has been a
challenge for me is that I still try and drive the automatic car like
its a manual, let me tell you something, it is essential that you have
one foot for the gas and the brake when driving an automatic car.
Elder Cheng fell asleep in the back while we got stuck in L.A traffic
for an hour. Don't worry I got a picture to share. Our boy died back
there.
We meet the strangest people, there is a member in one of the
surrounding wards who invited us in and he offered us a tie from his
collection, after he spotted us out on the streets while we were
tracting, He then proceeded to tell us his whole life story. He told
us that he he use to do make up for porn stars but stopped before he
was baptized, i just hear the craziest things come out of peoples
mouths, especially from the members around here, super cool comversion
story. All I know is that this church really is made for everyone, no
matter where youve been or what youve done there is salvation for
everyone ( it rhymes, so it has to be true)
I wanted to share with you my testimony of the Book of Mormon, I feel
like it has grown so much this week. I seriously love that book, it
seems to be so clear to me when I read it now, and the principles it
talks about seem so obvious. This past week I have felt the holy ghost
testify to me again and again of it's truthfulness. It testifys of our
Heavenly Father and the never ending love he has for us, it testifys
of the truthfulness of the gospel, it is another witness to everything
the bible teaches, it testifies that Joseph Smith restored the true
church once again on the earth, with all the same preisthood
authority, and power given by Jesus Christ, most importantly it
testifys that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer, and there in no
name given under heaven that men can be saved. I know this church is
true. I have never been able to say that with such fervency in my
heart, and soul. This is the true church of Jesus Christ. I am so
lucky to be born in the church, and I want to share the good news with
everyone I come in contact with. As members of this wonderful church
we have the obligation to share this message with everyone, a full
time missionary or not. Please share it with someone this week, take
every opportunity you have to express gratitude for all our Heavenly
Father has done for you, through action and word. There is no greater
joy than this.
