This week was solid...

This week was solid. I don't have any great stories to tell but work got done. We printed out a ward roster and we're putting a face with every name and making notes. It's crazy how many people haven't had any contact with the ward in years. Some are really nice people. We've met a few older gentlemen who tell us about their missions. It's cool to hear their stories. One guy we met owns 300 suits, because he made himself a promise in his youth that he'd never worry about having clothes to wear.

We had interviews with President Griffin this week. They went really well. Every time he sees me, he always complements me on my looks. He came up to a group of us talking and greeted us then stopped and said, "Elder Tribe. You look great. You never fail to impress me with your presentation of yourself." No comments to the others. Kind of weird but hey I'll take it.

I'm instituting the use of fake glasses in my contacting approach. We found these fake glasses in our apartment one day so I decided I'd wear them. Ever since then, when ever I wear them, we seem to have better success. More people talk to us and let us in the door. I bring them out about twice a week. It's more of a fun thing to do than anything else. Members give me funny looks trying to remember if I wore glasses or not. I don't help them out. I just let them sit and think the whole time haha.

A little spiritual thought for this week. 

Proverbs 23:13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.

Proverbs 29:15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

So beat your children with a rod.

Just kidding. 

Here's the real spiritual thought.

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

We show God and Christ our appreciation and love by keeping the commandments they have set. As we express our love to them, we are more receptive to their love for us. This will cause an increase of blessing and happiness in our lives. I don't know about you guys, but I'm always down to bring more happiness into my life.

I love you all!
