Hello everyone!
it's been a great week, not sure how much I'll be able to write
here because I've basically been computer hardware support for a couple of the
Filipino missionaries here who've had problems and weren't sure what to do.
But now for the cool stuff - I found someone who works in
Naknek, Alaska every summer!! I worked there before, at AGS and apparently he
works at Leader Creek, another seafood company, at a dock not very far away!
His name is Segundo Hubahib and I think he has a daughter in Kenai, I'll
try and remember to ask who that is. Every year, he goes to Washington
and works there (he was taught before by the missionaries there) and then he
stops by a relative who lives in Anchorage on Tudor street, apartment 3
Anyways, update on Augustino Gingosa and Archie (husband of Jessica
Romerica)..... they're on opposite ends of our area, but they're both husbands
of Less-actives and former investigators where the baptism didn't go through
because they weren't married yet. but now, we have helped them move forward
by committing them to a long term goal, marriage, and then set short term goals
and work towards it. I've discovered that's something we all should learn, like
that quote in Preach My Gospel on the Goals page in Chapter 8. We need to
have a long term goal (exaltation) and make a number of short term goals to
work towards it (repent for this, improve on that, go to the temple, fulfill
covenants, etc) and then continually work towards the goal(s) - in this way we
have a vector - we have force AND direction. otherwise, it's like going
on a journey with a destination in mind but no idea where to go to get there
and no directions. Eventually you'll get lost/frustrated and go back to
where you were before.
That's about it for this week if i want to not go over the
assigned amount of email time...
love you all!
