Elder Northrup's Best 2 Years! "Preachin' to Peaches!": Thresh the Nations

My first chicken and waffles

I forgot my journal at the Apt so I can't remember most of what happened this week!! Nonetheless, I will do my best!!

Last Pday we had another Lesson with Jason!! We mostly just answered his questions and tried to Fellowship him a little bit!! His wife actually sat in the lesson and wants to start coming to Church. They ended up not coming to Church this last Sunday because of a Birthday or something so hopefully they will come this next week!!

Tuesday we had a cool and funny experience following up with an old potential!! We got the mans house looking for a guy named Coach Doug!! We instead found his son and a next-door neighbor drinking a couple beers and smoking. The neighbor was drunk as a..........drunk person who drank lots of alcohol!! The guys son was actually super conscience of everything going on so we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said give me a week to read it! So we will be going back tomorrow. As for the mans neighbor, we persuaded him to let us take his smokes so that he could quit so that was a first!!

Thursday we made steaks for dinner! Yep, that's all I need to say about that!!

On Sunday we had Seminary Sunday for the Sacrament Meeting!! The Mayor and some of the Teachers from the kids high schools were present and it was a great experience to help them see that we are not a cult!! So yippe!!

Spiritual Thought!

D&C 35:13 Wherefore, I call upon the weak things of the world, those who are unlearned and despised, to thresh the nations by the power of my Spirit;

It comforts me to know that even though I am one of the Lords servants, that doesn't mean I have to be perfect. I must always strive for perfection, just like all of us, but we are called by him! One who is All Powerful and All Knowing, called me...someone that has a lot of work to do!!

Love y'all

Elder Northrup
