Joe, you make me tired all over when you talk like that

Hope y’all had a gr8 Holiday season.
A Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year.

In Cabrero, we worked until 7 New year’s eve, then had a nice little dinner with the Recent Converts, then went straight to bed. We’re pooped, people.

New years was P-DAY and I made a delightful Alfredo. AT LAST. Good news is, there are left overs. Anyone who wants some is welcome to join me.

 I finished Jesus the Christ. And there was much rejoicing. It’s good. I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.

The work continues through the holidays. One of the things that I love about contacting is that we get to hear all sorts of things from people of all sorts of lifestyles. And I do mean ALL sorts. What I love most of all is knowing that the gospel really brings a different light and knowledge to our lives.

One time, we were talking with some menos active members in their home, when their neighbor pipes up and says, "The Mormon church is really very beautiful. I like it a lot. There’s just one problem. You guys don’t get baptized in a River. Jesus Christ was baptized in a river. It´s really the only way one should get baptized. Show me in the Bible where it says you can be baptized in the pool in your church." When the people say, "Show me in the Bible" I just make a pleasant face and think to myself, "Joe, ya make me tired all over when ya talk like that." :]

Hurray for the misinterpretations of men.

But I love that we don’t need to rely on other people, or solely on the Bible or Book of Mormon. We can go directly to the Source. We can pray and really discover the truth for ourselves. We don’t need to depend completely on interpretations, God can help us know for sure.

I dunno. Give it a try.
