So i´ve grown to realize that i´ll prolly b living with a spider in my shower 

indefinantley over the course of these next two years.  This seasons buddy is 

a maroon colored little guy who sits in the corner behind the door.  My comp 

has started to take the privalege in feeding him all the flys and mosquitoes 

he catches....scarily i believe the things gotten a little bigger.... :-( yikes
 
How´s everyone else's pest control?
  I´m gunna start off by being honest by saying i´m completely at a loss for 

words today.  Our LZ´s called us last night and told us to come play soccer again 

early this morning.  So it was yet another pday of waking up around 5:50, awesome, 

and seeing as how i forgot my planer and my brain is about to shut off my capacity 

to type is reaching an all time low.
  So in summary this week was awesome.  I personally have had to stop counting the 

number of times i´ve looked over at my comp and told him, ´´Dude you rock, we are 

teaching so powerfully this week.´´  I believe its a result of always bettering 

our ability to follow rules and truly relying on the Lord or help in prayers and 

fasting.  In fact to me sometimes i worry we forget what we have, and maybe I´ve 

already mentioned this, but i put it like this in a family home evening a shared 

this week:
  The Gospel is like a delicious sandwich.  But when we´re living with the spirit 

somedays we over look our own power.  We don´t recognize how hungry we would 

feel if we hadn´t eaten that sandwich at some point through out the day.
  However such power must not be forgotten, for it is within´our use and 

acknowledgement that we strengthen it more and with stand other forces.  When 

we take it for granted we may not notice ourselves be weakened piece by piece, 

though the adversary does and slowly we fall out of had bit until one day we 

find ourself in the position of being asked, ´´What would you like today?´´ 

and sadly, slothishly reply, ´´Eh doesn´t matter, it´s all the same´´
  False!
  Ít´s not all the same but within this responsive we may receive the abrupt 

awakin´of a cardboard sandwich in place of the nutrition we were generally use 

to when asked to face up to the adversary that day.  The challenge is to 

properly strengthen our spirits each day in order to ward off the adversary 

(and any cardboard and glue sandwiches, ask my dad for details, or chad).
  Always remember, read ponder and pray.  With a seasoning of Service e and 

Fasting
