August 17, 2020 - I Got a Feeling/Pump it

 Last week, one of the ladies that works at the gardens that we volunteer at gave us some black eyed peas...... and some other vegetables. Apparently black eyed peas are like the thing in Texas. She was shocked when we told her that none of us had tried them so yeah. Simmered those bad boys for 3 1/2 hours and voila: perfection. 

On a more spiritual note, we had a lesson with this family and we talked about how important it is to have faith and endure, especially during this time. One thing that the family pointed our was how the world is always looking for what's next. We've all seen the news. We've all seen posts on social media. They're always worried or they make others worried about what's going to happen next. I think that in this confusion, we begin to rely on the wrong things, and those things are temporary. That's why we have trends and other worldly stuff. But, if we come to realize who we need to rely on in these times, we won't have to hop from one trend to another. We can rely on God. He never changes, and that's what we all need. Something else that the family talked about was that there will never not be a "next thing" because the world never stops changing. So "we need to take it as it comes and go with it". 

Hope you're all healthy and happy, love you!

(Also its Sister Allen's bday on Tuesday so we've been making her a Kermit the frog piñata so there's me with kermits eyes-you're welcome)
