Coffin Measuring & Testimonies

 This week has been awesome! So on Monday a member decided to play a joke on us. He asked for a volunteer, so Elder Mulford volunteered to get measured for a coffin. Elder Mulford had to put a blind fold on. The member measured how tall he was, then measured how wide he was. Next, he said he needed to measure E. Mulford's leg. So he lifted it up dumped a cup full of cold water down his pants leg! It was so funny! E. Mulford and I decided to do it to some other missionaries when we went on exchanges. One thought it was funny, but the other didn't as much...

We had an awesome Fast and Testimony meeting yesterday. It was kind of interesting at first. One of our investigators got up. She started to tell stories about how people had offended her and she was now suing them. She asked everyone to pray for her as she sued them. Then she proceeded to bear her testimony on the importance of forgiving others. Meanwhile, we look over at Sister Ellsworth, a member, and she was shaking her head, whispering to her husband, reading the hymn book, and praying. She couldn't stand all of the doctrinally incorrect stuff she heard. Then another member went up and bore his testimony on how great it is to come to church every week. He also told us how he was "inspired to come up here because everyone else was doing it. So..." It was awesome. He bore a really good testimony.

Yep, so this week was pretty awesome. This week I would like to challenge everyone to think of a question as you read in the Book of Mormon. See how the stories answer the questions that you have. It is amazing, because when you go to the scriptures with a question, it is answered. You just have to look for the answer and have faith that it will be there.

Have an awesome week,
  Elder Michael Bronson

We went to a members house to see if we could do some service for her and she ended up giving us all of this. Apples, oranges, lemons, limes, and even some figs! Figs taste super good.

Elder Mulford went crazy with his sharpie...
