I'm alive
Of course I'm alive, i emailed last week. Did you get it? sometimes my account is weird. Every time you ask if I'm still there usually i still am but i don't actually get the email until later or the next week. However this last week was great. This week is transfers! I'm staying with the same companion! This is great and super exciting because we are going to do so much together and be able to truly help this branch and help each other grow immensely.
This past week was my birthday and my lovely companion decided to make the cake that you sent me and cup cakes as well because we had some left over batter because we didn't have the right size pan in our apartment. That was fun. Wednesday a member also brought us a cake to her lunch appointment and we ate some of that cake and then on Saturday we also received another cake from one of the students in our English class. So it is safe to say that we are pretty sugared out in our apartment even with four elders in it. We have a lot of cake.
Other than that the same member treated us to gogi buffet or a Korean baroque in which all we did was stuff ourselves with meat and oil. Safe to say we felt pretty greasy after words and pretty full and i think my guts hate me still.
Anyway we had an amazing special Zone conference with Elder Richards of the seventy on Thursday and i learned something big or rather it was brought to remembrance. MY dad has always been trying to tell me to in essence just do it to be a go getter and do things and figure them out. the main memory that comes to my mind is when we were building a wall downstairs in an unfinished basement and it was me and Zach and we were getting really frustrated because we had thrown up this mental block (Dad was out shopping or doing something) saying we can't build a wall we don't know how" Rather then just doing it it we got frustrated and called and Dad and had him walk us through it. We finally did it but not until he came home and helped us finish. well it is safe to say that i was hit over the head by the Spirit to just go and do things and so i now have set into motion this master language plan that will help me master Korean! muhahahaha. Thanks Dad for teaching me to be a go-getter i finally understand ( a little at least) and i becoming that kind of person!
Love Elder Craner
A little something we learned from Elder Richards
SO this is something cool which we learned from Elder Richards. Which i feel you all already know because i read your emails and i see you applying it all the time. However i want to share it anyway.
Happiness=Spirit=Act in Faith. All of these i are infinitely and directly proportional. When we are happy we have the Spirit and we act in faith. When we act in faith we have the spirit and are happy and so on. These three things are directly related if we want become happier then we act a little more in faith and we strive to have the spirit with us a little more as well. It is one eternal round. It is wonderful and i love it.
