Not that I am counting down, however, we now leave Port Alfred in 26 days. It seems kind of unreal. We will certainly miss the people here. Some want to vote that we can’t leave. It kind of makes us feel good that they want us to stay, but sad, also.
We are now trying to visit with each family and get pictures
of everyone to put on the branch church site so the new president can connect
names with faces. Hopefully, it will
make it a little easier for the new couple.
We had a hard time, at first, to put a name to a face. Of course, now it is very easy!!! Rick is also presenting his “Golf Ball
Parable” to each family. First he starts with a jar which represents time. Then
he fills it with golf balls representing the most important things in our lives,
next pebbles are added representing the important things in our lives, but not
quite as important as the golf balls and finally sand is added representing the
extra stuff we could probably live without.
Then he asked them if he was to fill the jar with pebbles and sand first
would you be able to put any golf balls in the jar? This is like life. If you
make time for the important things in life, like family, God and the gospel then
there is always room for the other things. It is being well received and the
members can see the importance of making time for their family, reading
scriptures, praying and doing their callings.
