So, it was about 40 below
this morning. It's getting a little cold. Let's see, we had a good week this
week. Pretty much taught the most lessons I've taught on my mission. There was
a baptism on Saturday and we had three people we're teaching show up to it.
That was exciting. The Jewish Rabbi showed up which was really cool. She liked
the ordinance but liked the guy’s testimony even more. I'm impressed by her.
This is a big change from what she does as a Jew even though so many things are
so similar. That's what the covenant people are about. It's interesting how you
can attribute all the differences between us simply because of the lack of a
prophet. All the differences of all the faiths are because they reject the Lord’s
anointed. I feel like if I was on the receiving end of this message that would
click with me, that the heavens are still open. It's so clear. God speaks with
his servants. We haven't been left out to dry, but when we make our choices the
fruits are evidence of whether it was guided by the spirit or not. And it seems
pretty clear to me the difference between prophetic authority and personal
revelation. That requires personal worthiness from obedience. It's interesting
that obedience doesn't usually bring the blessings we want but always the
blessings we need. I'm grateful for a Heavenly Father who loves me enough to
cut me down at times. Who knows me well enough to bless me with the things I
need but don't necessarily want. Through that I know that he's in control and
when we try to go against that we are legitimately kicking against the pricks.
Well this week has been pretty uneventful except it's been ridiculously cold
and we taught a lot. Our car almost didn't start this morning even though it
was plugged in, so that was cool. Well I hope you guys are excited! Miss you,
Elder Waddell
