Whats up, so this last week a lot of things happened. So we had Christmas conference. We had talks from The APs and President and Sister Miller. Then it was a big Testimony meeting. Afterwards we ate and then headed to the the temple. I did initiatories , An endowment session, and to finish it off i did some dealings. It was AWESOME! The day after was a little slow. We did weekly planning and did some stop bys. But that day was wicked cold. It got down to 9 degrees. For our last stop by we did we went to Sister billiters house. She told us to wait until 8 to meet her friend Tracey . So we waited and made cookies with sister Billiter and tracys kid because Sister Billiter was babysitting that night. She got there and we shared a mormon message on Christmas and she liked it. Afterwards Sister Billiter gave us 3 more Referrals. It was AWESOME. Anyways we start leaving it's almost 9 :30 so i kind of speed a little bit and i need to turn around. There was this car behind me so i speed just a bit more and i hit this curb and then i turn around and the alignment is terrible. I told Elder Phillipsen to go and Check the tire and we got a Flat.It was on the front right tire. So we drive down to sister Billiters house and we park our car right in front of her house. Now i have never changed a tire and my companion hasn't either. We don't really even know where we should put the jack. My companion said he thinks he know where it should go. So we put it right behind the tire. Start raising the jack and the jack starts to tilt . Now i'm trying to unbolt the bolts. There frozen and i can't un bolt them. its like 11 degrees out side at this point. Were just freezing outside. Each time i try to torque the wrench the jack starts to tilt more and more. So i give up cause the car is gonna fall on top of my arm. So we called sister Billiter and we left our car there at her house and we came back the next day to try again. Well it snowed a lot and it was wicked cold so now i'm changing this tire in the snow. We managed to get the flat tire off and put the Spare on. We took it to firestone so they could put a new tire on and fix our right tail light. So we went and did some shoveling with the sisters for an hour to an hour and a half. That day was wicked interesting but everything turned out ok. So last week i mentioned Abraham the Brazilian guy who showed up at church. So we taught him after the sisters english class on saturday. We taught him the Restoration and set a date with him for January 14th! He is so golden. We're thinking about moving his date to December 30th. So that was my week.
Now i know that Heavenly Father gives us opportunities on earth to grow and to learn from our mistakes. The plan of salvation will only work if we make mistakes and learn from them. As we grow and learn from our mistakes , our trials , let us be joyful for the things that we have learned from these hard times. Not only should we be thankful for our mistakes but we should be grateful for our loving heavenly father who is understanding and who is willing to help us as long as we call him. This is my testimony to you. Love you all
