Hola! This week was another eventful one sort of. We started out the week with two trade offs! On Tuesday I was with Elder Jensen and we had a pretty good time. Rex from Palatka came up and took us to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch which was super good of course! One of my favorite places! The next day I went with Elder Peterson in Timaquana and he is a Spanish Elder so I got to listen to more people talk while I sat there trying to figure out what they are saying. It was fun but got pretty boring after a while lol! We had a good trade off though. Then we went back to Buffalo Wild Wings on Saturday with the Timaquana Elders and the Oak Leaf Elders! Nothing better than B-Dubs twice in a week!
Yesterday was also the Christmas devotional which was suer awesome! Sadly the signal we had in the church got all messed up so we couldn't hear the end of President Nelson's talk! What I did hear though was really great! There was a lot of talk about service which is something that Christ did during His whole ministry. Serving others is how we can really feel the spirit of the Lord in our lives. In the Book of Mormon there is a scripture from the book of Mosiah in chapter 2 verse 17 that says, "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." If we serve others we are keeping God's commandments and doing His will. The greatest commandments are to serve God and the other is like unto it, to serve our neighbor. I have definitely felt the love of God a lot more in my life as I turn outward and help those around me. This Christmas season is a special time for us to show our love for the Savior by serving everyone around us. I love Christmas time because that's when the Light the World initiative is. The church puts out videos on mormon.org to give us ways and inspiriation on how we can go the extra mile in serving others this whole month. I invite you all to watch those videos if you already haven't and participate in lighting the world with the light of Christ by serving others and turning outward just like Christ did. I can promise that you will all feel the love of Christ in great abundance this Christmas season as you do this. Chirstmas is so awesome!
An amazing miracle that happened this week happened on Saturday night when we were biking in the pouring rain! We tried to visit some people were are teaching but none of them were answering or didn't want to answer so we decided to head home but then we got a little lost and found ourselves on a random street. We were turning around to go the right way when we got a super strong impression to knock on this one house. So we did and Michael answered the door! Michael is so awesome! We shared the light the world video with him and he loved it so much! He told us how he and his wife have been trying to find what they need to do in life and he realized right then that they need God in their lives. He said he wants us to come back when it isnt raining and when we arent soaking wet and teach them some more! We are super excited to see him again and help him and his family come unto Christ and receive the amazing blessing of this gospel.
That's about all that happened this week! I love you all so much and would love to hear from yall so please email me! Thanks for all the prayers and love and support! Keep on keepin on!
Love,
Elder Plumb
