Catching Birds and Braille

Please pray for my body to survive this next week's heatwave. It's supposed to be over 100 every day. Not sick.

For real though, this week was pretty hot too. I didn't realize how much I don't like the heat until I am walking and biking around all day every day. 

Noteworthy things of the week:

- I caught a bird (see pic) 

Bird I caught 

- Someone we are teaching gave me some gold they mined 

- I popped my bike tire again 

- Young chap and Genre got arrested (Nate and Coop). Don't worry they are good now and it was a mistake.

- Jose came to youth group this week! He's making lots of friends 

- My companion ran out of TP  while poopin at one of our investigator's houses and they don't have any walls on their bathroom yet so I had to walk in and now I'm scarred. It was pretty funny I guess. ☠

Scripture of the Week: 

- Moroni 7:40-44

- This week I thought a lot about faith and hope. Something really cool that a guy said we were talking with was that "faith is belief turned into action." I love that. What does faith mean to you? 

40 And again, my beloved brethren, I would speak unto you concerning ^ahope. How is it that ye can attain unto faith, save ye shall have hope?

41 And what is it that ye shall ^ahope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have ^bhope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life ^ceternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise.

42 Wherefore, if a man have ^afaith he ^bmust needs have hope; for without faith there cannot be any hope.

43 And again, behold I say unto you that he cannot have faith and hope, save he shall be ^ameek, and lowly of heart.

44 If so, his ^afaith and hope is vain, for none is ^bacceptablebefore God, save the ^cmeek and lowly in heart; and if a man be meek and lowly in heart, and ^dconfesses by the power of the Holy Ghost that Jesus is the Christ, he must needs have charity; for if he have not charity he is nothing; wherefore he must needs have charity.

Song of the Week:

- The Spirit of God
