On
Saturday night, our water basically went out so we couldn't take
showers or use the sink (keep in mind how we have six elders living
together right now). Usually when something like this happens, its
because the water bill wasn't paid for and so the water gets shut off.
We thought this was the case but on the following morning, one of the
elders flipped one of the switches by the front door.... and believe it
or not, the water was back to normal again! I didn't even think that
that was the problem and I thought we had to pay the water bill before
we could get our water back to normal but seriously? We suffered through
that just cause the switch wasn't on?
I
was able to watch General Conference this past weekend. I loved having
the opportunity to sustain Thomas S. Monson as a prophet. I know he is
called of God. One of my favorite talks from conference was by Elder
Kazuhiko Yamashita. He talked about being ambitious for Christ. He
shared an experience of a missionary who was having problems with his
leg situation and he asked this elder "Elder Cowan, you were called to
the Japan Nagoya Mission, where you would have to ride a bike. Did you
tell this to your stake president?" The elder said "No, I didn’t. I
determined that if that is where the Lord called me, I would go to the
gym and train my body to be able to ride a bike." That to me is being
ambitious for Christ. We don't have to have the same experience as this
elder in order to do so, but we can still choose to be ambitious for
Christ in our own lives through love and service and obedience. I know
this church is true. I know that God and his Son, Jesus Christ live and
love us.

So in Thailand there's restaurants where you can pick out raw meat and then cook it at the table! My comp getting a rotti for the first time. It's basically fried dough with sugar and condensed milk on it. It's sooooo good.
