I'll be honest in saying the work is really slow. We have very few investigators and even fewer that we can see on a regular basis. We did find a new person this week named Maite. We went to visit an inactive family (The Family Sepulveda) and found that they're in the process of adopting Maite, the girl. We gave her a book of Mormon and after explaining a little bit, she said she would read it.

As for the rest of the week, a song I heard recently describes missionary work perfectly. I've experienced all of these things and much more so far:

Knocking doors in the rain

Knocking doors in the rain,
People think that we're insane
We wear ties and we can't chew gum
People think all these rules are dumb

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do.

Kids at the door say their parents are gone,
We see their dad out on the back lawn
They go and say that the Mormons are here
She sends back and they reappear,
Our mom says to tell you she's not home!

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do.

Knocking doors down in the 'hood
spreading love like the Savior would
We hear a shot, so we hit the floor,
We get chased by the dog next door
Mission life has never been so good

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do.

One last story before we go
Got a message that they need to know
They open up, they let us in
They invite us back again
The Spirit told them what we have is true
The Spirit told them what we have is true

What do you do?
This could be our only chance to talk to you
What do you do? What do you do?
Do what Christ would do...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

I Don't Wanna Be Anything Other Than Me

Dear Reader,  I work online at one of my part-time jobs. Sometimes it is required of me to look up a person's credentials or accomplishments to better fill out a description of their time on the radio. This means I do Google searches quite frequently to find their websites, their social media profiles, etc. By no means am I a guru on the world wide web, but I have been around the internet a few times. Why does any of this matter to you, reader? It matters because I have found a few things that are essential to being safe online. As much as anyone hates to admit, the persona built on the web greatly affects the actual person outside of technology. It matters because we need to review the tips on how to remain safe online regularly.  Here is a quick example of how important it is to monitor what you put online. If you put "Dale Lundstrom" into a Google search, there are 743 results as of today. A good number of those have nothing to do with me, it's true. Howe...
