I started running in the morning now that it's not super cold so we do our morning workout then run a mile. I'm trying to stay in shape the best I can lol.
We did some service for a guy named Nate who had a super cool school bus that he made into basically an RV and it had solar panels on top and it ran on vegetable oil so it was pretty cool. Also, since we moved a ton of gravel for him he bought us some pizza and apparently they have drive through little Caesars.
The weather here is super weird because one day it will be nice and almost warm then the next day it starts snowing.
I've been making alot of fried rice and ramen noodles so its been pretty easy food wise. If anyone knows any good simple recipes I will gladly take those.
We stopped by this one less active members house and she invited us in to eat and he made this really good soup and quesadillas and chicken feet and not gonna lie I was kinda nervous but they honestly didn't taste bad just a weird texture.
One thing I really liked that I heard this week is that sometimes when we are going through life and we have different decisions in front of us. That when we are praying for help and guidance that sometimes we don't really get a feeling of, I should do this or I should do that. The phrase that was used was "the absence of a no" and I really liked the concept behind that because I personally experienced this. When deciding whether or not to go to school for a year or go on a mission first, I prayed a lot to know which one I should do and I didn't really get any specific answers. This would be my "absence of a no" because I knew that both were good and that eventually I would go so I decided that I would start signing up for school and see what happens. As the process of classes and schedule and all that continued I kept asking " is this what I'm supposed to do" and one day I got a pretty clear feeling that I needed to go on a mission right now instead of later. The description that I had heard about this " absence of a no" is that sometimes we have to decide for ourselves but then listen and feel to see if the decision we made will be one that we should continue with. I think that's a really good principle because faith without works is dead and Heavenly Father isn't always going to give us everything we want but He will guide us as we make our own decisions. We have to do everything we can on our part first and the more we do on our part the more we can see the blessings of guidance.
