Missing You!

ts been busy even though it really hasnt our area covers 10 square miles and about 5 of them are inhabited the rest are fields and cowpoo. its a fun area though the fog here is intense ill show yeh some pics at the end!

weve been busy as far as planning an such. but we regularly meet with a woman named April. she herself has battled many drug addictions including her

oin and is on methadone and all that good stuff. but its increduible to see how much of a desire she has to quit and want to get baptized. its fun to meet with her this last week i think friday we met with her, we wanted to be bold. so i took the lesson by the reigns. i said "april i think iif you truly have this desire its time to take some big steps here, so lets make some serious goals but realistic ones. so she sadi okay i want to only smoke 4 cigarettes a day we said if you feel you can accomplish that then yes we will gett that one down(shes on chantix)". she also hasnt been reqading and praying everyday and i can say from experience that by not doing so the spirit is not your constant companion! without that its near impossible to get back on the straight and narrow so anyway we set those two more goals: read and pray daily. we havent ben able to meet with her since then but we look foward to doing so here tomorow . funny enough tho her husband needed help herding a couple pigs back in the pen so here we Elders come out in suits and dress shoes walking in pig...who knows what it is. so that was fun haha but we got em in. im sure they gotta kick outta watching us doin that though!

another interesting experience so last night we were headed to a house to check on this part member family and on the way there i looked at Elder Kennington an said yo these people are following us so i did some evasive driving!!! sure enough they absolutley were taailing us. we pulled over they came up to us rolled down their windows, we obliged. then upon seeing us they rolled their windows back up. so not liking that i began following them!!! pretty funny cus im sure they were creeped out! we caught up to them and found out they were lost and needed to get to their friends house. we decided we would tell them to follow us and get them there.

upon arriving at the house they got out to say thanks. i noticed a bible in the drivers hand and asked " are you LDS", no they replied so i said whats that? he showed me the HOLY BIBLE.  i said well hey Were Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints and being slightly prepared i pulled out a mormon.org card with our number on it. gave it to them and said please give us acall!! unfortunatley we didnt have a book of mormon on hand or else they would have walked away with one!!!

jus funny how i was absolutley prompted to continue to foollow them it honestly wasnt me being my cynical self i promise~!!!!  

we met with an older lady Norma she lost her husband about 6 years ago and is "angry with God for taking her Charles"

i have to say i definitely cried during the lesson shed a couple tears shes jus so sorrowful! and misses her husband you cant help but feel her sadness!

Life wont get any easier but relying on the lord will bless your live beyond what you could dream of!!

speaking of dreams though since entering the MTC every night i have horrible nightmares and weird things happen i couldnt even describe its like Lucifer can only get me in my dreams he can only tempt me there cus he knows how steadfast and focused i am. its tough to wake uo and not be able to calm down  so i sometimes take extra long showers just to get my thoughts in order!

Love you Elder Binns
