Service: It's A Great Blessing! AND Murders: Not A Great Topic 2 Fight About....

I was in bed this morning when to my surprise I turned on my cell phone to see if I had any text messages or voicemails because I turn my cell off at night before I go to bed because I do not want n e interruptions! Well, I get a text message from the Zone Leaders texting me to find out if New Orleans has the highest murder rate in 2008!

I text them back, I dunno and they ask me to find and says a lot is riding on this. Hmmm...I am wondering why..I mean they are missionaries, what does death rates and murders have to do with the Church, missionary work, anything at all?!?!?

Well I stop texting and I call them up and I talk to Elder Myers who had me record an article I found online to read to him to prove that New Orleans was in fact the highest rated city for murderers since 1997 or something!

After I got off the phone with that nonsense, the Metairie Elders called and needed me to pick them up form the Chapel because they had no ride back to their apartment! I was in bed, in my pajamas still and it was not even 11am yet! I told them that I had to shower, get dressed and I would come to get them.

True! I did not want to go and pick them up, but I knew that I would get blessed 4 doing that. I love helping others! It is something that I am great at! Elder Bare offered to buy my Cane's because I came and picked them up, but I refused because they only have a limited about of money, and besides I had food back at my place!

In short, this morning was not my usual morning-waking up a a text message about murders. Even though that is happening here and all over the country-still don't like texting r seeing that when I get up because if I did, I'd wanna stay sleeping! :)
