THE BERG #8

hey yall im fixin ta tell ya about my week! (legit. "fixin ta" do whatever is a legit thing out here. I LOVE THESE PEOPLE!)

so this week we had another opportunity to house a mini-missionary. sister martin is from sugarland (about twenty minutes away), is 17 years old, and is THE CUTEST! it was an absolute BLAST having her roll around rosenberg with sister lenhart and i for about four days...i wish she could’ve stayed forever!!! 

but while she was here we had the opportunity to visit with shirley...the golden child...shirley really is inspiring! she trusts the Lord sooooo much and is ridiculously humble and just eats up everything we teach her...we met her a week ago and she is already reading in 1 nephi 13 and is living all the commandments!! WHICH IS AMAZING becuase she has been smoking for about 20 or so years and as soon as we taught her that smoking was against God's commandments and testified that God would help her quit if she prayed and read and depended on him etc she stopped the next day and has been going strong for about 6 days!! she told us the temptation has left her and she no longer feels the need to light up!!! it reminded me of the people that listened to king benjamin in the Book of Mormon...after being taught correct principles and having the spirit testify to their hearts that what he taught was true, they no longer wanted to sin..."Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually.” (Mosiah 5:2) we are soo sooooo excited for shirley and her upcoming baptism!! pray that she stays golden ;) 

hmmm what else...oh!! so sister lenhart and i were setting goals as a companionship and we decided we need to take care of ourselves better physically so that we can feel the spirit more..we arent eating mcdonalds and shakes everyday--dont worry--but still....so naturally we decided we had to go out with a BANG!!! so we made the trek out to needville to eat at a member-owned restaurant called Jay Cafe....we went HAM!!! we got the juicy jay burger (huge burger stuffed with cheese), quality texas fried chicken, homemade mac n cheese, rolls, fried okra, two pie slices, and the triple chocolate cake!!!!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! but like the people of king benjamin..it wrought a mighty change in us..."Yea, we ATE ALL THE FOOD which thou hast GIVEN unto us; and also, we know of their GREASE and FAT, because of the LACK OF THE Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our STOMACHS, that we have no more disposition to  EAT LIKE PIGS, but to EAT HEALTHY continually." so eat healthy we shall ;) #1nephi19:23likenthesciptures
