"...send me some HEINI's cheese, please!"

The last few weeks Elder Greenhalgh has been asking for treats from home. He really wanted cheese from Heini's, so his parents made the trip to Bunker Hill and had cheese shipped to Montana. The order included the infamous Green Moon Cheese but we're betting the Heini's Cheese Fudge will be the first to be sampled:)

Wow, this year has gone fast, I cannot believe that it has been 10 months since I got to Cody! On the night of New Years Eve, we played Monopoly in the basement of the other Elders' place. I can't believe it has been almost a year ago now! WILD! Well anyways, Everything is going good. We are going to be having transfers this weekend, I'm not sure whats going to happen, I'll let you know next week....

Wasn't general conference awesome? GREATER KANSAS CITY AREA?!?!?!?! Wow.... notice... he didn't say Kansas... just the great kansas city area.... theres this little town called Independence on the Missouri side of Kansas City:)

Here is a cool lesson. Too many times, I just kinda "go do stuff" without really asking the Lord what he wants me to do. I am afraid that I won't be able to hear what He wants me to hear, and I"ll miss the opportunites that He has set up for me to do. I asked Elder Geren to give a talk on Humility in District Meeting yesterday. He did, and during it, he read out of Preach My Gospel, a part about Humility. It said, in a nut shell, when we humble ourselves, we have confidence that we will be able to do what the Lord asks us to do. If I truly humble myself, and ask the Lord to use me as an instrument, I WILL ALWAYS KNOW THE THINGS THAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO, I won't have to worry. He will know that I'm sincere, and will let me know what to do, and I will be able to have confidence that it is from Him.... He knows a whole lot more than I do.

I love Him a lot... He does so much for me, and as often as I am completely grateful for what He does, He always gives me more and loves me more. It is the most comforting thing to know that we aren't making up these feelings of comfort or "strength beyond our own". Opportunities like this confirm to me that He is there, HE truly is making us feel these ways, He wants to truly guide us.
I have a testimony of that, I've learned this week something that is eternally significant for me. The times that I doubt, and can't just force myself to understand or feel hopeful that I'll "feel it" 100%.... all I need to do is be more grateful. It humbles me. It helps me see that He is out there. He is more powerful than me, or my intellect. All intellegence bows to the majesty that is Our Father.

I hope you guys have a fantastic week.

Love,
Elder Greenhalgh
