Piano!

Yes I want a piano! It is so cool the way music plays a role in our lives. Look at Samuel 16:23 for example. David plays music and an evil spirit leaves Saul. That is powerful. That's music. I love psalms 89:15 "Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound.  They walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance".

Brother Stukey is correct-- weighted keys are a must when it comes to keyboards, and you need to have the full range. Those are the most important things. The weight doesn't really matter. I am extraordinarily strong (stronger than Matt and Andrew for example) so the weight really doesn't make a difference. I remember "alpha-dogging" my brothers before the mission so I'm not too worried.

I'm not too worried about all the other bells and whistles either. If it has a good piano noise it is good for me.  And President Ashton has given the go ahead to  allow us to play instruments.

Life is good in Friendswood. I hope all is well back home. The Bradeshaws in our ward invited a family to come into their home and teach a lesson tonight. We studied and did some role plays this morning that helped us prepare. The lady we will teach evidentially does not believe in Jesus Christ. We will begin the lesson with Romans 8:16 and teach our true relationship with God. This verse also explains how we know that God is. The spirit teaches us this of course. I'm really excited to teach in a member home. The spirit is so much more powerful because distractions are gone and examples off gospel living are displayed. Whats more is Brother Bradeshaw was a former temple president. This helps the situation a little.

I like biking around town. People see you and notice you. Members see you and give you more referrals and food. For some reason people give you more respect when they see you trying.

My patriarchal blessing tells me that I have a family that loves me unconditionally. I would like to take a moment and thank you for this. I respond well to this stimulus. Thank you.

Take care now y'all, love ya!
