Strength Through The Spirit

G-Day Mate? how ya going?

Why did the squirrel swim on his back?

To keep his nuts dry.

A pirate walked into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants. And the Bartender asked, "My guy! Why is there a steering wheel in your pants?"

and the pirate replied...

I don't know, but it's driving me nuts! 

Alright, enough with the nut jokes! lol To the week.

We had a pretty awesome week! A lot of cool things happened. We had Zone Conference and it went really well.  It was the best one we have ever had, in my opinion. There is a cool quote I liked from Zone Conference. "You have to understand what a prophet understands in order to have faith in one". I was like, huh?? 

 A prophet leads and guides Jesus Christ's church and they understand God. And who is God? He is an all knowing, all powerful, all loving, merciful, just, divine being. Not only a divine being, but a divine being with a body of flesh and bone. A real person we can relate to. So a prophet is a special witness of Jesus Christ. Because they can understand God, they are given that authority and power. With general conference coming up, just keep that in mind. These men are so important to us right now, they understand God, they understand what this world needs to hear. So, listen closely and pay attention!

We had some fun with the Port Pirie and Whyalla Elders when they came down to stay the night with us before zone conference. We went to this place called Select Chickens and bought 3 full chickens and a bunch of chips (french fries) and gravy and the food is absolutely divine. It was so good. I'll put pictures.

We also started teaching this really awesome Lad named Paul. He is reading the Book of Mormon with real intent and he said he feels EMPOWERED when he reads it. We were helping him move some heavy wood and he had been doing it for 3 days straight and he said he usually burns out after a day.  But, ever since he started reading the Book of Mormon, the Lord has given him strength through the spirit! It's really cool and he wants to come to church and bring his wife with him. I'm so excited for Paul!

Have a great week and weekend watching Conference!  Send me a letter and tell me what's happening in your life!
