Life is good around here

Dear Family and Friends,

 

Another Monday has come and will go. Time is going by very quickly its already June the beginning of summer. Seems like a life time ago when I was home painting the fire hydrants for the sewer and water district. I hope the fire hydrants are still yellow and looking good because I spent a lot of time on them. Anyways I remember the countless hours I spend weed whacking and cutting trees. Now I'm using my time way more effective and the time goes by way faster because I enjoy it a lot more.

 

So Elder Dresen and I are going to do some pruning of our vineyard. We have too many people that want to listen to us but aren't progressing so we are going to start dropping people and start somewhat fresh. At least we wont focus on them. We are teaching an alright amount of lessons but they aren't working towards baptism as fast as they should be.

 

A ray of hope Phil came to church and he is on date for the 22nd. He is doing really well progressing and loved church yesterday.He wants to know everything before baptism so we need to help him see that what we teach him is sufficient and he will learn most after he receives the Holy Ghost.

 

Wanda didn't come to church she didn't have another dress which is soo easily fixed. But she was also sick. We need to sit down with her and help her progress and I'm almost at a loss. She needs this but I'm not sure how to help her.

 

So in my scripture studies I was thinking about a question that a less active asked me. He asked how can I apply the atonement in my life. I didn't have the best answer for him. In my studies I came across Mosiah 4:6-7 and that is actually helping me apply the atonement in my life as well.

 

So I'm not sure what we are doing for pday today. I'm sure it will be fun whatever it is. Last week we went hiking and there were way too many people on the trail. But I'm getting acclamated to the altitude and it is a lot easier to breath. We play some sport every morning for workout so I really enjoy the competitiveness. This morning we played chair soccer. So life is good around here!

 

Love you all

Elder Salmon
