Pictures

Today I hijacked some pictures from Elder Shipp's friend Ariel.  There are no explanations with any of them, but I thought I would share them anyway!  We all know that Elder Shipp is not an "explanation" kind of guy anyway!  So here goes...

Fasting to feed the Elders

This week I had a spiritual experience I want to share.  On Sunday this member was feeding us(every sunday after church.) and it was good(the ususal). and I asked her if she was gonna eat with us(sometimes they sit and just watch us... not fun) but she said no shes fasting. so puzzled i asked why, and if there was anything i could do to help her. She said no that she was fasting for us, and i thought awww cute. Little old lady. hope it helps the work. then i asked a few more questions and found out that she didnt have money to feed us so she has been praying and she finaly got enough money to feed us and its just enough for us so she was fasting for sunday and would eat tomarrow...... wow that food was alot harder to eat. very humbling.

Love,

Elder Shipp
