The question was asked
about our water situation: We have
running water. We get city water that
fills up a big tank on Wednesdays and Sundays, and then we just use a pump to
pump it through the rest of the house. It’s weird using a bucket shower
anymore. :) I’ve got
reintegrated back into a shower head and a bucket doesn't seem as effective as
it did.
All of you are wondering about this crazy brotha of ours.... (The guy who always attacks us on our bikes) Well, once again, we had an encounter. Wasn't like the usual encounters as before. We were sitting with one of our members waiting for a few referrals to come that she had, when a man walks up from behind and stares at us. He starts off, "I’m the man who chases you. (with a smirk)" Then he was speaking some jibberish.... the member said it was Jamaican. We couldn't understand it is all you need to know. :) Then his next statement: "They stoned me!" We weren't sure what to do. hahah Most the time we run from him, but now we're stuck. Luckily he didn't attempt anything, and he walked off with his cig in one hand. At least we know he's not dead! So, that’s what happened to our friend. We even saw him on the side of the road as we drove past in the taxi this morning. So he's doing good!
Elder Eppich and I started a tradition in HoHoe, where we make no bake cookies on Saturday! We've now changed the name too,"No bake November!" Since we can’t do "No shave November," we resorted to the next best thing. :) We are in love with them!
During our Sunday Gospel Principles class on the Saviors Life, I got thinking about what he did for us. Sometimes we say, "Why do bad things happen to Good people?" Well, if we think about it, as we endure through our struggles, it qualifies us for the blessings of Eternal life. Everyone knows good things don’t come easily. What Christ went through wasn't easy, but now look at him. His blessing was in Heaven! His perspective was an, "Eternal Perspective." That’s the perspective we all need to have. Christ was able to Endure through everything with this Eternal Perspective, so who are we to complain about our minor problems? They won’t seem as bad if we change our outlook on life. Think of the good things to come, instead of a narrow mindset of only earth life. This life was meant for all of us to be happy, so why choose anything else?! Choose to be happy! Have an Eternal perspective and look past your situation. As you continue to obey and do all you can to be as Christ, you'll achieve the happiness promised. Thanks for everything, and all the updates! Love you, have a good week!
