Hot Week

Hey everybody!

This last week summer reared it's ugly head back up and blasted us with 100+ degree weather. It was pretty lame.

But this last week was awesome because Elder Johnson of the 70 came and did a mission tour. We had a great mission conference with him. He spoke on how when we learn things we use different processes to learn different things. How you learn facts in a history class is not how you learn how to be a good basketball player. He said that learning spiritual things is the same way we learn them in a different way than we learn facts. (1 Cor. 2:9-14) The key to learning spiritual truths is obedience (John7:17) and if our obedience is lacking we end up losing our spiritual knowledge we've already gained. (Alma 12:9-11) Thats why investigators or even members will do really well for a while but then fall away. They stop being obedient, they lose blessings and they lose testimony. It was a great conference!

Marta is still donig awesome and her baptism is going to be this Saturday at 10:00 in the morning. She's super excited! My companion talked her into asking me to sing for her when I was talking to someone else. He denies it but I know it was his idea. Either way I'm singing at Marta's baptism. Hopefully it will turn out all right.

Thelma disappeared on us this week which is super lame, we're not sure where she is. Hopefully she's all right. and then Betty found out that she has 3 hernias, so she's going to be in the hospital for a while :(

Hope all is well with you all

Love you guys!

Elder Harris
