Hi friends (2/1/16 email)

Our recent converts, N and C, have been sick recently (possibly from
black mold, so keep them in your prayers) so they weren't able to come to
church yesterday or meet with us this week but C said he's been
feeling so depressed without the meetings. He said he's been trying to
compensate by reading more from the scriptures! They are seriously
just so great in every way. I love how humble they are and how excited
they always are to better follow God. Seriously they're the best, and
their baby is so cute, and they want to have more kids soon so that's
exciting!

Yesterday we learned about faith and overcoming temptations in church.
It was great! One of he speakers used the example of Baskin Robins. He
said if you're struggling with an ice cream problem and you like to
hang out at Baskin Robins, don't just tell yourself you need to have
more self control and then sit in Baskin Robins. You need to get out
of that place! And don't just leave Baskin Robins and go to Coldstone!
Get away from the temptation! Haha I loved it. That is so true! If
you're telling yourself to work on self control, but you're hanging
out with your BF alone in the dark or you're sitting in a bar or
accepting old GF's friend requests on FB or something, it's probably
not going to work out well! Don't tempt yourself! It's a lot easier
said than done, but it's such an important lesson to learn.

Here's a picture of my new roommates :) we flirt to convert. Totally
kidding haha that should never be a thing! Ever!



Love y'all!
