I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy. Alma 29:9

Food and Familysearch.org

Hello, hello

Well this week was pretty awesome actually! It was funny because on Wednesday we had all of our plans fall through... even our dinner plan. But we made up for it that day because we got an Applebees card and i got steak and shrimp. So i was pretty happy. Also just to let everyone know how awesome i am eating i had Steak twice this week, and i had ribs twice this week. Plus i ate tons of other stuff... so yeah i definitely didn't get sent on a starving mission.

David didn't get baptized on Saturday but luckily he came to church and is pretty solid for June 2! It's great because he actually participated in Sunday school this week, which is great for him because he's kind of a hermit. Plus he reads all the time and watches BYU tv. Oh! last night we were teaching at his house and i got to see a firefly close up for the first time! It flew right in front of my face and it's awesome because it's like a floating light bulb. 

So a couple days ago we were driving down the road and when we pulled over and got out of the car we heard air coming out of the tire. Luckily when we were a mile away from home so we got it home and it was completely flat about ten minutes later. So Elder Harding and I changed our first real tire that wasn't during a mutual activity. So make sure that you do that mutual activity again with the youth because we actually remembered that!

Okay so this is really exciting! This last Thursday i was looking at my family history tree and i was looking back on the Guy side of the family. So then i looked on familysearch.org and found information for John W. Guy which is my great, great grandma. Well i gave that information to a member here who loves doing family history work on Saturday and guess what happened Sunday? She found three more generation on the first click!
So John W. Guy was born in Maryland on June 13 1885
His father was Samuel Guy born in Maryland 1885
His father was John Guy born in Old Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1824!
And his father is James Guy born in Ireland in 1801!
So I have a lot of family history work to do but I'm really excited to get working on it. Plus i descend from Scotland and Ireland. 

Anyways i love y'all!
