This week was great I got my new comp his name is Elder Oldham he is from Payson Ut he is a farm boy. I get along with him better than my last to comp. The only problem is we are bikes full time. I have to say I have gotten lazy with the cars. So we are trying to run every morning to get stronger on our bikes . I have gotten some pretty bad shin splints. Oh it hurts. I feel like I have a rock in my leg.
We had the opportunity to give a blessing this week. I was able to give the blessing. He shared his experience with us after. He said it was amazing he felt like he was being cleansed from the inside out. The spirit was so strong. I felt so proud to be a preisthood holder. He has had a hard life and is coming back from drinking he asked for a blessing to keep him sober. It is so shocking to us as missionaries we live a different lifestyle than most people out here and it is so sad to see the grip that Satan has on some of these people.
So how is it going with the Book of Mormon I am on my third time through and I am in Alma chapter 3. It is a great book. I love reading it. I remember leaders trying to get me to read this book , now I see why. I have a testimony of this book and we need it so much in this day.
How is everyone? How is the dog?
I love you all
Stay Classey
Elder Schmidt
