Week 26: Cars and Coffee

So the baptism is not a go this week because Ray did not make it to church this last week.His neighbor passed away and the funeral was on Sunday so we will meet with him this week and see if he is still down to get baptized. I am pretty sure that he will say yes to being baptized because he was so pumped about it the first time. 

Todd was super sad and depressed this week but I was able to cheer him up because he LOVES cars.  I can relate to him really well and his love of cars. This helped him cheer up because there is no point in trying to change someone if they don't trust you or if they are depressed and just want to be happy. We talked for a little bit about what's new in the car world and he filled me in on a lot of classic cars that he loves.

Speaking of cars. Oklahoma City puts on an event called Cars and Coffee. It is a car show that happens every first Saturday of the month. We went to that and talked to the owners of the cars and the people that showed up to the car show. It was so awesome I loved it. (I am sure that Kyle was in heaven walking around admiring all of the cars on display. Missionaries are blessed for serving!)

So with the passing of President Monson this week I have tried to study some of the stuff that he spoke on. My trainer, Elder Bowman gave me a book called, "We're With You." It is a book that is filled with BYU devotionals and other young adult setting talks. There were a few from President Monson and it was so cool to read a lot of the things that it has taught.

Love,
Elder McMinn

Wonderful, glorious things are in store for you if only you believe, obey, and endure.

- President Monson

Remember that you are never alone.

Never forget that you are loved.

Never doubt that someone surely cares for you.

- President Monson

It's in the doing, not just the thinking that we accomplish our goals.

-President Monson

Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says, "I'll try again tomorrow."
