Adobe Falls!!!!

      We did a really cool service this past week, we went to clean a canyon in our area, called Adobe Falls.  ​It was pretty cool, some of the graffiti was bad, so if you see anything, look over it. We picked up and cleaned lots of trash. Bottles, wrappers, cans, etc. It was really hot that day, but after a member bought us subs, they were really good. 
      This week has gone by pretty fast! Things are starting to look up, We've found a couple of new people to teach so that is good. We really want to involve members more in our work. 
      Recently I've been reading the Bible! I am currently in Exodus! I know, not that much, but I am making progress. I didn't know how awesome the Bible was until I actually had the desire to read it! It is kind of, sometimes, making more sense, but I have to read it slow, with a dictionary, and I won't even try to pronounce the names ha. Here's what I've learned, and I know some of you who read this will be giving yourself face palms because it's kind of dumb that I didn't know this before. 
Benjamin was born before Joseph was sold by his brothers. Moses had a speech impairment and the lord gave him a spokeperson named Aaron. I tell ya, these Disney cartoons are missing lots of information. 
      What I want to focus on is Moses. He felt inadequate because of his speech impairment but the Lord assured him that he would help him. Twice he says, "I will be thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say". That gave me a lot of comfort. I know that is exactly what the Lord is doing for me. The Lord also sends Aaron to help him. I was talking about this with other Sisters here and we talked about how sometimes so many people are born with some sort of disability, and we were wondering why? We came to the conclusion that it was so that people can give service. Aaron helped Moses talk, and that gave Aaron the opportunity to grow and to learn. I know it's the same for everyone else. King Benjamin says, "when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God."
      I was also reading in this months Ensign a talk called, "Act upon this land as for years".  It is a great talk! I recommend EVERYONE to read it and can be applied to anyone's situation. The part that really grabbed my attention was, "if we spend our lives wondering while we wander, we may miss out on wonderful opportunities for spiritual growth." I Hope that you all can enjoy life now, see the blessings that God has given you. I love you all!
