Priesthood Roles

You will laugh and be surprised by what I am about to say: I actually read a book. Don't ask me why I read it but I did it over the course of 2 days. I read "Priesthood and Woman" it opened my eyes. I mean I respect girls and women but I never knew it was an issue for women not being "ordained" to the priesthood. It was a great book. It taught me more about the Priesthood. I think that people just need to understand that we (male and female) have distinct roles in the Plan of Happiness. According to the book, my role as a priesthood holder is to provide and protect. Which in my opinion, I am perfectly fine with.

 

Anyhow, this week has been way fun. I taught way too many Other Lessons. It is disgusting! I either need to plan better or people just need to be more accountable, ha. We're excited about the "Meet the Mormons" movie. I hope we get to watch it but if we don't, oh well. Our district is doing really good in terms of the Standard of Excellent. However, it seems like everyone is struggling with their own "personal" challenges but what I admire about all of us is that we're able to set that aside and focus on the work when the time comes. I think I am able to do that because of Dad (Chuck). I look back and I always remember that when he's working he's working. When he's spending time with us, his focus is on us. Which is a trait that I hope to obtain one day. I only have 4 transfers left! It's so scary to think about that.

Oh sad news, one of the missionaries that went home in November passed away from a motorcycle accident. It was sad but I guess it was his time. Perhaps he shouldn't have bought a bike... just saying. 

I love you guys and I hope that everything is going well! 

love,
