Hey all!
Good times over here!!! I really do enjoy this work. Elder Lowe and I talked to Rebecca, a young sister, going through divorce, that referred us to talk to her parent-in-laws, John and Barb, that they "could understand more fully what I'm going through." She wants to attend the Temple! Exciting. So Sunday evening, we knock, we explain why we're there, and they let us in. Recently, they finished cycling from Mackinac Island to their house. John taught high school for 30 years. How is that gonna turn out! And Barb was a professor of exercise science. We told them our purpose, and they told us it's only for them to understand Rebecca's stand-point. They're real chill though! John was even like, "Come by Tuesday, I'll roast some hot-dogs." Speaking of which, Jan (met Elders in 2007), had us do service and eat hot-dogs with her. I edged her pathway from the sidewalk to her door while for two hours (way overgrown!), and roasted the dogs perfectly. The watermelon was terrible though, didn't feel so good later. She talked quite a bit about her son, and his Italian friends. (Mafia? I doubt it!) Helaman 10 is quite the chapter, shows that power is only given upon conditions of obedience. Nephi would only do according to the will of God, so power was given to him. And get this! Pondering upon things led him to hearing the voice of God. And personally, I see a lot of differences between beliefs of individuals, and how they talk about their situations, and the influences of God in their lives.
Love,
Elder Stolp
