Another great week in Jacksonville North Carolina! It was a pretty busy week, and it flew by! Cant believe it's already pday
This week we finally got back to our normal 20 hours of service. We worked at the soup kitchen, trimmed hedges at the Hansens, picked up a ton of tree limbs, cut vines, and mowed some lawns. I got to ride the lawn mower around which was a dang good time.
We actually found a lady named Debbie this week, through doing our service. We were able to have a couple lessons with her which is awesome! We found another lady named Corinthia. She was at a members house for dinner, and we decided to teach the restoration after dinner. It's cool to see how the Lord is always placing people in our path.
Me and Elder Palmer saw signs around town for a knife and gun show event here in Jacksonville. We both like knives and guns so we decided to go. Best decision we ever made! We met so many people, and had the opportunity to teach quite a few people who we are and what we do, and we even got a couple phone numbers! And if that wasn't already good enough we got some sweet knives
This weekend was packed full of meetings. Zone conference, stake conference, and we had a Joy in Christ devotional last night up in Kinston. Me and Elder Palmer were part of the missionary choir. One of the ladys we are teaching, Darlene, came to the Devotional with some members. We hope and pray she was touched by the spirit.
Romans 15:13
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
At the Joy in Christ devotional we sing and talk about the Joy we receive in Christ. True joy comes only from following Christ and his teachings. As we feel of the Holy Ghost testify of the truthfulness of the Gospel, we can rest assured and be filled with Joy that we do have a Heavenly Father. He created each one of us and loves us so much. Through his Son, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice he made for us, we can return back to live with him in a state of eternal happiness.
I love you all
Elder Forrest
