Cockroaches and Nativities

 Hey y'all it's been a minute👋 Work here in Clarksville has been very good, a lot of the people we have had progressing have been out of town so its been a bit of a switch up. something kinda funny that happened last week was we helped this lady named Laida who the sisters have been teaching clean up her house. ok to start out her house is completely infested with roaches. literally roach corpses covering the ground everywhere. Move a table? bam roaches. Move a chair? bam roaches.  Move a couch? bam roaches out the wazoo. Anyways, she also let her daughter have a dog. her daughter had this tiny unventilated 10 ft by 10 ft room, and I kid you not we counted over 50 piles of poop and pee was everywhere. we ended up just soaking the room in a few gallons of bleach and an hour later we made almost no progress and we were dizzy from the bleach. Still though, so good being able to do service!

Something else we've been preparing for is this huge nativity the local stake does. We carried in like 30 Christmas trees and there going to be hundreds of nativities set up, kind of a cool thing we've been able to participate in! 

Something I've thought a lot about is sacrifice and humility. We need to be humble enough to realize that there is always something we can do better, something we can sacrifice or commit to the lord. I love the verse ether 12:27, you all have probably studied it by I encourage y'all to dive deeper into it. Love y'all!
