FBI pulling up on us - Week 55 - January 17, 2022

Ok.

Tuesday we went and did some service for a member. We were pulling up the flooring in his workshop. It was fun because I got to swing an axe and just go ham at the floor. 

Also, on Friday we were at the park next to our apartment calling people. This lady walks up to us asking if we're missionaries. We say yes. Then she shows us a FBI badge like they do in the movies and says don't talk to my kids. I was tripping there for a second wondering what was happening bhaaha. 

We also had zone conference this week. It was pretty good actually. President Tveten told my companion that he's going to Ghana on February 9. So most likely I'll stay another transfer in this area. So that should be sweet. 

The work in the area is progressing very well. If anyone has any fun finding activities (to find new people to start teaching), please let me know. We just do the boring stuff like call and street contacting. We tried doing cookie runs yesterday and it went well. 

Next, I wanted to share this insight I made in my scripture study a couple weeks ago. 

We can all find our pulse by putting our fingers to our throat or wrist. How do we find our spiritual pulse though? Well Alma gave us some amazing questions in Alma 5 that could help us. I'm going to share these questions and then you should rate yourself on a scale of 1-5, please be honest. So now grab a piece of paper. 

1. Do you remember how good God has been to your ancestors?(v6)

2. Have you been spiritually born of God?(v14)

3. Have you received his image in your countenance?(v14)

4. Have you experienced this mighty change in your heart?(v14)

5. If you've experienced a change of heart. Can you feel so now?(v26)

6. If you were to die right now, would you say you're humble?(v27)

7. Have you been cleansed and made white through the blood of Christ?(v27)

8. Are you stripped of pride?(v28)

9. Are you stripped of envy?(v29)

10. Are you of the fold of the Shepard? If not, what fold are you apart of?(v39)

If there is something you need to work on then start now; Don't delay. I have a lot to work on, so I hope that we can become more like our Savior Jesus Christ together. Please let me know if I can help you in any way! 

Love,
