Southern Tex-Hess: The Definition of Our Family: "A Bunch of Goofy People Who Tease Each Other" (Week #14)

The week's been good! Really busy. The highlight was probably the ward missionary night. It was tons of fun and we had a lot of members! I'm doing good no problems health wise.

What has been your biggest concern?

I don't really have any right now besides S coming to church. He comes but leaves after the 1st hour. He should get baptized next week but baptisms are right after church...So we'll see.

What has been your biggest success?

Biggest success sounds really bad at first. That less active lady whose husband died a couple week ago. Remember her? Her son died on Friday too. Which sounds awful! But he was the only thing keeping her from coming back to church because she had to take care of him.We did some yard work for her. She came to church on Sunday!

Who has been your favorite person this week? Why?

The S family. They're this really big family that feeds us every so often and yesterday I realized they're kind of like ours. A bunch of goofy people who tease each other. They're just a lot of fun to be around.

What has been your most significant tender mercy?

Probably having Elder S and Elder T still here with us. They're some good guys to chill with. We get along super well.

What are you looking forward to this coming week?

I'm looking forward to (hopefully) S's baptism.

Do you have a goal set for this coming week? Tell me about it.

My goal is to be patient. It's one of the things I need to work on.

Which scripture has had the biggest impact on you this week?

Job's story and Ammon. They're both guys who persevered through trials and were blessed for it.

Love you guys!

Hope things are going well!
