The Cat's Out Of the Bag...

This week was amazing, we were able to go over and teach an investigator a few times this week, and in one of the times, his cat (tinkerbell) decided to jump into my bag. It was all cute and adorable until he managed to destroy a couple brochures and a Book of Mormon. He went to the bathroom in my bag haha... So that's your funny missionary story of the week.

This week we all had the amazing chance to listen to a living prophet, Thomas S Monson, and the 12 apostles. We had a saying the other day going around the mission, "Good is the enemy of Excellent" There was a very similar quote given during the conference. Being average, or just going through the motions will get you to the same place that all the average people are. Average missionaries do average missionary things and get average blessings. Average sunday school teachers do average sunday school teacher things and get average blessings. Average students get average grades. The saying "you reap what you sow" is not just a saying, it's doctrine. Work your butt off now so that you can reap the blessings!
 
 
 
I'm super excited as well for summer. Obviously because of the never ending snow, but I have been told there is a new Davis High French Missionary on his way in July! This makes me especially excited.
 
Just like in the movie UP when the small chubby kid says "adventure is out there" so is satan. Temptation is out there! Don't get caught.. It is said that we need to walk uprightly... The answer of how to do that is in the scriptures.
 
Proverbs 16.17 - "The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul"
 
My comp
Happy easter everyone! I miss you guys all like crazy, but I need to be on a mission! It is the most amazing experience. I have changed a lot, but I don't think I'm weird yet. I hope you all listened to Elder Hollands talk, if you were asleep, please go look it up. I thought about you guys the whole time. I was a little annoyed with how many people talked about marriage though. Good thing we have two love birds who will be in a month or so:) I hope all is going well:) love you all, my comp is trying to justify responding to his gf's email but while he has his back turned I'll dear john her for him to save some time;)
 love you

love you all,
 
Elder Argyle
