Time is flying

The delights of a CLP follow-up health screening are shown in these pictures:

speaker from the raffle drawing.

The lady in red received some incredible headphones from
the raffle drawing, so her neighbor is laughingly choking
her in playful envy.

The day that we had the APs to our apartment for a meeting coupled with lunch (peanut butter sandwiches, & chips),  Elder Preston was not feeling the best.  We had taken Tanner, Head of Canvasback Wellness Center) to a buffet at MIR on Wednesday.  I don't know if that had any impact, but he "thinks" it might have. Either way, it is challenging to not be feeling well in a country that has very limited health care.

Our outer island P-day trip was cancelled due to one of our senior missionaries not feeling well, so it was a tender mercy for us, too.  Craig would not have to miss the trip or worse he would have gone and not really enjoyed it, but we will go in two weeks.

 

Anyone for peanut butter cookies?
I know that my dad would be ready.

Due to the fact that Craig does not know how to relax, we now have treats for the week.  Life is good!

Even though we have watched all the conference talks more than once, I'm reading the talks with my eye on WHAT I NEED TO CHANGE.  My list continues to grow, but the following is sound and gives hope and value to me.

Sister Joy D. Jones stated:

Let me point out the need to differentiate between two critical words: worth and worthiness. They are not the same. Spiritual worth means to value ourselves the way Heavenly Father values us, not as the world values us. Our worth was determined before we ever came to this earth. “God’s love is infinite and it will endure forever.”

On the other hand, worthiness is achieved through obedience. If we sin, we are less worthy, but we are never worth less! We continue to repent and strive to be like Jesus with our worth intact. As President Brigham Young taught: “The least, the most inferior spirit now upon the earth … is worth worlds.” No matter what, we always have worth in the eyes of our Heavenly Father.

This brightens our day and we hope that it will brighten yours.

We love you,

Elder & Sister Preston
