Welcome Wal-Mart Superstore! Today in the town of Maricopa, we had the Grand-opening of Super Wal-Mart. Everyone has been waiting anxiously for this day which would mean the end of the "Fry's Market" and "Basha's" tyranny. We can now shop in peace, having low prices for all. The high school band attended the grand opening to help arouse the festivities. I, personally, am very excited as well. In other news, the weather has been strangely cloudy/ drizzly as of late, leaving us with some slightly humid days. (Keep in mind, it's all relative. This place normally has near 0 humidity.) Also, some dust storms have come, which I had never seen before which left me thinking that some formidable mass of gases that spanned the horizon were approaching at a rapid pace. It was quite an amazing sight to see. One time, while we were out teaching in the desert, we got caught in one. Hehe, admittedly, it was quite exciting. The temperatures continue to rise and have almost passed record temperatures for this time of year. Our spirits are also rising as we continue pressing forward in this great work. Riding bikes is actually quite nice, despite the temperatures. We have been having a lot of posotive responses from people that we have been contacting this week. It has been pretty exciting. My testimony continues to grow of lots of things, but this week I would like to speak of my love of the scriptures that is growing. The more I read, the more I want to read. When all is said and done, and study time is over, I find myself wanting more time. Always, when you go to read the scriptures with a prayer in your heart and the desire to seek answers, you will find what you need when you read. When I am trying to find answers that will help to better answer the questions of those that I teach, I find what I need when I read. Reading the scriptures invites the Spirit and fills us with the strength that we need to endure the trials of the day. There is an unseen protection that comes when we fortify ourselves each day with prayer and scripture study. The scriptures are the words of God. They are here to bless us. All we have to do is take the time to read them. I love this work! I love how I am growing and how I am able to help others grow! There is nothing else like this! Take care, and always put Heavenly Father's will first in your life. When you give priorities to His desires, He will do the same for you.
