Scripture
of the day: John 8 with the stories of Jesus
and the adulteress and talking to the Pharisees in the Temple. I think this is one of my favorite
chapters of scripture because it is a powerful, direct dialogue between Jesus
and the Pharisees. I also love the Bible videos of this chapter on lds.org. I was also thinking about why is it easier to believe in the prophesy, rather than the one who was prophesied of...I'll have to think some more on that.

We had
Pday today! Whoohoo! It was really fun, we went as a district and hiked up Coca
Cola Mountain, and went to Pizza Hut for lunch, and wrote our families, and got
food for the week, and taught some lessons. So I enjoyed today, it was probably
the most I've ever sweated in my life, but it was good, we had a really fun
time together.

The
elderes were talking guns and cars and swapping war stories from their areas,
and I felt like I lived in a little bubble here in my area, but I guess that's
a good thing. Being the nurse's companion has a different angle than the
usual mission here, as we have to stay here in the city to be close to the
hospitals and office, and sometimes we can't work as much in our area because
of nursing stuff... everyone I've talked to is sorry that that happens, but it
really isn't too bad. We're still making
progress, albeit we have lower stats than most other missionaries,
but that's alright, because that's all we can accomplish in a day, sometimes.
But I am proud to say that I'm getting really good at doing contacts with the taxi drivers since we
spend so much time together...just different ways of accomplishing the same thing.
I was so
happy today, because we found this one computer place that was absolutely
perfect, since we don't have internet in this area or something like that, we
have to go to the shopping place / mall, and there's some computer banks that are open to public
use, so the ones that we usually go to are super busy and loud and you have to
wait forever to use one, and USB ports don't cooperate, but today we found this
newer, little, out-of-the-way one, and it was perfect! It was quiet and we didn't
have to wait and the USB ports worked perfectly! The internet was a tad slow
initially, but it warmed up and worked quite nicely. So that was a blessing, I
hope we can use that one again next week.
Tomorrow we have a hospital and an office visit, so we won't work our area until
about 4:00 pm, which is "normal" for these kinds of days, and we gotta be home
around 8:00 pm, so that's 4 hours to serve!
Gotta make it count! As always, Hurrah for Israel!
