October 31, 2016 Happy Halloween

Yes ladies and gents, today it is almost 70 degrees outside and it is
Halloween!!!! Glory hallelujah there is a God boys and girls, there is
a God! I have never worn a short sleeve short so late in the year and
I am loving it! This week has been peanut nutter and crazy! I got to
try something I never thought I would try, I got a massage from a
$8,000 massage chair. I strongly considered it that is what a chair
feels like in heaven, we've got some awesome members here in Beaumont
haha! We also got to help out a lady from Peru here in Lexington, she
was really funny and she put us to work. She's going to be meeting
with the Spanish elders soon so it was pretty cool to me seeing small
acts of kindness touch someone's heart.

Ok so I found this awesome scripture in a little quote book my dad got
for me before I left on my mission, it's D&C 24:8- "8 Be patient in
afflictions, for thou shalt have many". This made me think of
something I realized in my studies a little while back, there is
nowhere that we are promised we won't have trials because we are
obedient and life will be easy because we believe in Jesus Christ;
this modern revelation literally promises us that we will have them.
I'm thankful that we've got so many things today to help us through
those hard times: scriptures, words of modern-day prophets, prayer,
family members, etc. . The world may be attacking us but we've got the
best defense there is, so we don't need to worry about anything they
can do to us 😇

God Bless,
Elder Crow
