last Tuesday i tried running........ it went great not up to bar for playing any sports yet, probably wont be able to play sports till i get home :( ankles are bruised cause i havent ran in a long time but everything is starting to heal up. my companions back held up for about three days before he messed it up again we were playing a 3pt shooting game as a zone. so we went to the chiropractor on monday and got him all straightened out. on friday i was on exchanges with one of zoneleaders elder bevans to morgan, ut. morgan is the coolest little town ive been to. its this little tiny town surrounded by a farm community (reminded me alot of gordonsville!) they have theses two restaurants we always eat at stephs and debs. there sooooo good, diet goes out the window everytime we go to morgan. we'll probably have zone breakfast there when transfers happen on the 30th. im really hoping that ill be able to go to idaho this next transfer, were thinking that the assistants will take over our area because they need to be closer to the new mission office. so we'll see what the next couple of weeks will bring. hopefully ill be able to go and stay up there the rest of my mission :). not to much to report areas doing really good nothing to complain. were still looking for a place to live. our apartment flooded to many times so we opt'd to move out and live with our zoneleaders. but were hoping that the stakes we are serving in will be able to find us another place to live. yesterday i was on an excahnge with the other district leaders companion and i guess the day before they wee teaching this young lady and she asked them why and how do you kno there was an apostasy so elder conover and i studied that together for personal and companionship study and i flipped open my preach my gospel and turned to the restoration lesson to the great apostasy and found a scripture in amos that prophesied a great apostasy. in amos 8:11-12: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a afamine of bread, nor a bthirst for water, but of hearing the cwords of the Lord.... And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall arun to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it."amos had prophesied a long time before christ had sat up and restored the church in Jerusalem. and if you look in chapter 40 of jesus the christ the catholic church sent out a decree to the world that the "known" world was in an apostasy..... meaning there was no priesthood on the earth.....did the catholic church just prove that they had no authority from god? read in the chapter notes in chapter 40 in jesus the christ number three and see what you think. by the way the mission address has changed so if you would like to send me any mail please read my signature at the bottom. love you -- Elder Tyler Herring4380 So.
