OK, I got a new camera. Sorry it took so long, but there is nothing in Nivelle as far as stores go. I got one today because we spent our p-day in Bruxelles.
Ummm, I actually don't have much time to say stuff today so I will just tell you about the biggest thing that happened last Saturday. We were sent to stop by a less active couples home who had left the church a ton of times. Including asking to have their names removed from the church at one time. But, they been making some serious headway recently towards coming back to the church. They had even started getting ready to go to the temple. Well two weeks ago they quit again because they had a problem with tithing. We planned on stopping by just to see how they were. Things looked bad! It looks like Chris had started to smoke again because they really didn't see a point in doing anything church related. They said it was impossible to pay tithing and you can't go to the temple if you don't thus, all hope is lost. They said, "it is just not right that you have to pay tithing before you can go to the temple." I boldly testified that god gives no commandments without a reason. That he gave the law of tithing not only to help "build up the church", but to get us to put trust in God and not in money. You might think it is impossible or hard but Christ overcame the world for us. Anything is possible with God. I almost gave up my life because I thought it was to hard. Christ saved my life, put trust trust in Him and you can accomplish anything!"
