Haha! I'm glad you liked the picture! We were all walking across this cross walk on p-day and I said...."it's like the Beatles in that one picture!" then Peterson Said "We should re-create that picture for a p-day. I call dibbs on the guy wearing no shoes!" Then I said "Dibbs on the guy in jeans!" Then we went and saw a picture of it at a store and we said to ourselves....We have to do it! Then Elder Maughan snapped a picture of the picture and we got the right-ish clothes at thrift stores and from members then found a pretty good cross walk and got a less-active member to snapp the photo! so thats pretty much it....We might do a re-shoot to get it more accurate.....possibly! If we do, I'll send you a copy!
Anywho....not much is happening here..... We found out who the new mission president is going to be. He is from Rexburg, ID, and his last name is Hall. Thats all I remember...that and something to do with BYUI. so thats pretty cool!
We also have been teaching and preaching! I listened to this talk by a member named Cleon Skousen about the atonement and God Science! It was awesome! It really helps one understand how the Atonement works with the who justice and mercy and how compassion plays a big part, and we are saved not because of what we did, but because Jesus Christ suffered for us, and he pleads with the father saying, "Behold the suffering of the one who did no sin"And the Father will say something to the extent of.., I will let them in for you, not because of them, they don't deserve it,They did not keep the laws that I gave them, but for you. Compassion always will over come justice! That is how Mercy works is through compassion! Does that make sense? I'll get teh scripture referaces and explanation to you or something to really get a feel for it! It was an amazing talk! It really put into perspective the Atonement, and the ordinaces we do here, and why we are to follow the savior! With out the Atonement all of mankind must unavoidably perish! How great is our Father that He prepared a savior so that we can be redeemed and live with Him again!?!
Thats about it! I hope all is well and everyone is blessed! Have a great day!
Love Elder Stander!
ps. Hope you can enjoy a vacation sometime if not soon! Vacations are cool!
