You guys. This has been a grand old week let me tell you.
Elder Myers and I have taught a bunch of families the last couple of weeks. We prayed for families to find and teach and we definitely found some! They really kind of fell in our laps.
My lips are a lot more chapped, which indicates the temperature drop this season. It is funny because you can definitely tell the difference between the locals and the people from NY, because all the North Carolinians wear bigger coats and the new Yorkers dont. It's almost like a super power I swear, everytime I'm not by myself and I say anything along the lines of:
"the temperature of the air around me has dropped significantly which in turn makes me a very cold man",
a guy from Buffalo has to come teleport right into my bubble and tell me about how this doesn't even begin to compare to the severe chill of new York. Well guess what buddy: nobody gives a darn.
Sorry
I digress.
It seems like everyone in the whole wide world got me a treat or candy or some kind of sweet thing for Christmas. Which, don't get me wrong, it's a grand old time, I have a sweet tooth. But, the problem is I only have one sweet tooth. And Gary is feeling very overwhelmed this holiday season. (Yes my tooth's name is gary), (no, I'm not going to jail for naming my tooth.) There is only so long that I can live on candy. But so far I'm doing good.
Welp yeah, the other dilemma is that I really enjoy lifting weights and working out. And that by itself is not a problem, but then when you zoom out and see that I live in a one bedroom apartment and my weights are limited, you get to see why I have been starting stopping being a healthy feller. Thankfully I have a fast metabolism. Which means I burn fat quick, but now I'm starting to burn all my muscles too, and Ilook like a pipe cleaner. I remember I stepped on the scale in my bathroom and my scale didn't even tell me how much I weighed he just told me to go eat a cheeseburger
The winter is fun in North Carolina because it snows like once a year if you're lucky and everyone hates you. But don't worry everyone I have the Lord on my side. Here is a verse about it->
John 16: 32-33
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Sometimes when I feel alone I say that phrase and I feel better.
Maybe it's a coincidence or a placebo. Maybe it's not. Who knows
I think it's not, and I don't know if I'll ever know for sure. But beliveing has taken me a long way and I think it would for you too.
