There is always more to learn

Wow! How is everyone! Not too much happened this past week. 

We did do a lot of service so that was cool! On Wednesday we were able to go teach the youth a lesson that they are going to teach for their missionary month. It was cool to talk to youth that are preparing to serve a mission and answer questions they have. We also were able to go help out at a place called Rush Ranch. Which was pretty cool because we helped build a horse stable! It was fun to get out and do some extraordinary service.

The Owens were finally moved back to their house but they aren't better. They now have a doctor that comes to their house for a little while to help them. Sister Owens has to take an antibiotic that her body doesn't like.... then she has benadryl to counteract the side effects from the antibiotic. They both still want to talk about baptism for Willow (Sister Owens daughter), and Cora (Sister Owens sister). So we will for sure keep meeting with them and serving them! Hopefully they will be able to recover from this never-ending trial.

We are still meeting with Richard and he's come to church 3 weeks in a row! So that's cool! He has some concerns with our church but he likes coming and learning. We also met with this... Well... this really really REALLY crazy lady. She lives in a homeless shelter and has the wrong idea about our church. It's funny though because she's got the wrong idea about our church and missionaries. She is 49 years old and is dead set on being baptized and becoming a missionary. She is under the impression that if she becomes a missionary she will have an apartment and monthly money haha. It's kinda sad so we are gonna clear up some of those misconceptions the next time we meet with her. Also she might be too crazy to teach.... so that's that. She also is kinda trying to use us. She had us take pictures of probably about 40 phone numbers and asked us to call them . We were like... uhhh we can get you a ride to church and teach you the gospel... haha it was funny.

Anyways, I found some scriptures that I loved this past week. In Alma 37:35, Alma tells Helaman that he should learn in his youth. I'm pretty sure he was in his youth at this time but relating it to something else I read this week, in the end of John when Jesus is about to descend back to his father, he calls his apostles children. Probably referring to show there is still a lot they can learn. It's cool to see that there is never a limit on how much knowledge we can gain. No matter how old or how young, we can always learn. Try to always increase your knowledge in the gospel, because knowledge is power. Hope you all have a great week! Love you all!!
