This last week was good. I had a dentist appointment and had a tooth fixed. It was nice to have that done. But then I lost my planner and I was angry for a while. At first I was angry because I thought the art on the planner I had made was cool. I was pleased with the design I had made and such. But then I tried to see past that. I was more upset because I realized the valuable, and precious information that was within the planner. The outer vessel is by far less important than the inner vessel. Referral information, less-active information, weekly planning information, potential investigators, all that info LOST. I was devastated. I tried to think of all the places that I bent down on Wednesday morning where I could've lost my planner. I couldn't find it anywhere. It was truly devastating. As I mourned the loss of the planner, that held the potential information to salvation of several souls, I had a thought come to mind. "Be grateful it wasn't your wallet!" In the same pocket that I keep my planner I keep my wallet. With all my important things; drivers license, Photo ID, temple recommend, white handbook, debit card. How is it that my planner had fallen out of my pocket and not my wallet??? I know the answer! A miracle! The Lord obviously knew I wasn't paying attention, and so my wallet was spared. Some might say I'm being rational or over dramatic about that, but I know that that was a blessing from the Lord. That is the ONLY time I have ever experienced that. Every time a missionary has a "greenie drop" EVERYTHING in the pocket falls. Cards, wallet, planner, pens- everything. But for some reason my wallet didn't. The tender mercies of our Father in Heaven are real, and they do still happen in this day.
Everyone should go to biblevideos.org and watch the sweet Easter Video called "He Is Risen". Just as it says in the pre-text stuff, ponder what the Savior's atonement and resurrection means to all humanity, and to you. Then share the good news!
I'm getting a haircut today. Yessss! I'm excited, it's getting too long, and too much to handle. I like my hair either way short, or long, and long hair is annoying. Most guys would think you'd like girls touching your hair all the time like I did when I had long hair ( apparently I have amazingly soft hair) but it's obnoxious! But I'd have girls touch my hair anyday over bugs! ARGH! I hate bugs! That was the only reason I was a little down about coming to Keokuk again, I'm here in the Spring when there are tons of bugs and for some reason beyond my understanding bugs love to try to crawl in my hair! I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THING TOUCH MY HAIR! Except me, and people as permitted. But bugs are a no no! Thank goodness Utah doesn't have bugs like Iowa does. Although I love Iowa. :) I'd just never move here.
Anywaaaays. My nose is very runny, and I'm tired of typing about my hair, (I'm starting to sound like a chick) I want to read talks. So BYE!
