This Week in the Bay!

SOOOOOOOOOOO THIS WEEK WAS HOT!!! EISH. AnD HUMID!!! wow. I went from the coldest area in the coldest season to the hottest area in the hottest season in my mission.


But We did the work. Had some trials tho. My area is a biking area and we had tons of bike problems this week. but regardless of the bike problems we continued to work.

So that got me thinking. Why the heck do we face sooo many problems. especially when were doing the right things. Why?? thats like doing what mom says then having her ground you anyways. What the heck! So i started to analyse these trial and figure out what caused them and what was happening casue of them and what the outcome looked like becasue of the trials. And i came to a conclusion. Every trial that we face weather our fault or some other person or things fault is there to help us grow. We walked most of the week but on the days we rode we faced flat tires. and we bonded. i could only pump a tire up so many times till i was finished in the heat. but my companions gladly stepped in and helped with my burden. Instead of getting angry that my bike had problems we worked thru it as a team. and because of it we are alot more like friends then co workers. also the walking this week has helped me bond with them and get to know them. its not easy going into a 3some when the companions your joining have already been together for 2 transfers. eish i was definitly alienated and the bording has been the same for 2 transfers so im the new guy. but now im part of the family. all cause the bikes gave out. But you can apply this principal to all of you life trials. What are we Faceing now in our life? What caused it?? Whats happening cause of it??? These trials could easily be looked at as blessings. and oppertunities to grow.

Thats about all i got for this week.
