Good Morning! This week was awesome! We had Zone
Training meeting. It was an awesome meeting. We gave the zone a lot of good
things to work on. Sorry I forgot to email you the flow chart again, I will
send you a copy soon though!
Cool things that happened: We have been
encouraged by President Shumway to spend a lot of time of family history
recently so we can help people learn about their family history. A few days ago
I traced our line all the way back to Adam and Eve! That was sweet. I'm sure
it's not super reliable but that’s okay. It was still pretty awesome. I found a
line of Kings of Troy too. Also, I've been trying to fill some holes in our
tree. I've been able to find some people that didn't have parents attached to
them. So I've been working on merging records and finding parents for people.
It’s been so awesome! I can't find anybody to do temple work for though! You
guys are too good at family history it looks like haha.
On Saturday I spent the day in Oklahoma City at
the temple with XXXXX. The kid that Elder Koetting and I baptized last year in
Bentonville. THAT was awesome. He has come SOOO far this past year. It’s been
awesome to see how the gospel has changed his life. He still has a lot to work
on just like the rest of us but he is doing so well. That’s why I like the
scripture that I put in the subject line so much. We all have weaknesses. But
for good reason! The Lord gives us weakness so that we are humble. So that we
ask Him for help. So he can make us stronger! If we had no weaknesses, no
trials, it would be too easy to feel like we don't need the Lord. And we
wouldn't rely on Him. We would do everything on our own. But that’s not the way
it works. We have to rely on Him. We have to go to him, humbly and ask for
strength. And when we do that, we are letting Him in to our life, willingly. So
that He can build us up in to something so much stronger and better than what
we were before. I love the gospel plan that He has given us and that his Son
taught us. I'm grateful for the opportunity I have to teach people about it. I
love you all so much!
Love,
Elder Sherwood
