Live Life to the Five Dots

Pro Hey everyone!

So this week has been pretty good.  It started off with zone
conference.  I really loved what President Griffin said.  He said
that successful people do these 8 things.  They compliment, embrace
change, forgive others, talk about ideas, continuously learn, accept
responsibility for failures, have a sense of gratitude, and set goals
and make plans.  Unsuccessful people do the opposite. They criticize,
fear change, hold a grudge, talk about people, know it all, blame
others for failures, have a sense of entitlement, and never set plans.
I challenge each of you to go through those lists and see which side
you're on and make yourself better.

So something that we do every second and fourth week is this thing
called Second Harvest.  It's this thing that Walmart does with all of
the food that has been on their shelves too long.  They give it to
different groups of people for free, and we help them out with it.
The place we do it at is at this community of old people.  One of
those old people is Betty, and we always go and visit her afterwards.
Betty has this electric wheelchair, and this time she let us all ride
around on it.  It was the best thing ever!  We rode it around  in so
many different ways.  At one point, I was riding it while sitting on
Sister Johnson's lap.  Another time, Sister Johnson was riding on the
back of it while Elder Hoyt was driving.  Betty was sitting inside
while we were playing with it, so she didn't see everything we were
doing with it, but she said she was fine with whatever we did with
it.  She said that one time a sister drove it around on five dots -
the fastest it could go.  She said she got scared when she rode it on
even three dots.  We were definitely riding it on five dots.... With
people hanging onto the back of it.

Later on that week we had a lesson with Beverly.  We asked her once
again, "Beverly, will you be baptized by someone holding the
priesthood authority of God?''  She responded with, "Eventually."
Then we explained to her that we wanted to set a goal for her, and we can
change it if necessary.  So we asked if she'd commit to being baptized
on March 19th.  She agreed to it!  BEVERLY IS GETTING BAPTIZED! 
I'm so excited!

This has been a good week.  Remember to continuously improve at live
life to the five dots!

Sincerely, Sister Shelton
