Today's a GOOD DAY :) 11/16/09
Hi everyone!
This is a great day wouldn't you agree? Auburn and Fayetteville Elders are going to come play some Basketball today so I'm all HYPED up! So this week was fun I'm trying to remember everything that happened though. OH SCOTT!We found a guy named Scott (he looks exactly like Shaq!) He loves everything we taught him so far and I look forward to sharing the plan of Salvation with him because he has a daughter that has a virus and she's one years old and she can't even hold up her head. I remember Shaely being able to do more than this 1yr old little girl its sad. But he broke down in front of us and told us everything he's going through and we shared with him some scriptures that have help us out in time of need and he just loves all of it. I'm excited to see what he dose with this knowledge he's great! He Played S.U. football he's a big guy!Anyways hows home? Whats going on? How are my girls?
Q&AQ: When do I call home?A: I probably won't... Just kidding all I know is that I have the whole day off and that I'll have to work it out with my companion. But ill probably be getting a new one next Wednesday so I'll have to get back to you on that.
Well that's all folks hope to hear from you all
Love,Elder N.R. Dandridge

YoYo guess what it SNOWED
Hey everyone!
Its like 65 degrees out and I think we are going to go play some catch after we email its a nice day! That is kind of a weird thought if you knew that it snowed on Friday! All the trees leaves are gone and this place went from gorgeous to wasteland in about 3 days haha! I'm loving it though I enjoyed throwing a snowball at one of the Zone Leaders haha!
Anyways great news 2 baptisms coming up Tiffany and Nikki. There going to be baptized on Nikki's Birthday Nov. 21st hopefully it will be approved because they haven't come to church yet and they need to at least 3 time just as a general rule.I did an exchange this week with Elder Thomas and we committed someone else to be baptized as well. His mom is less active well actually she doesn't know yet but she is a Investigator again... She got baptized 10 years ago but she was never confirmed.... so.... she needs to be baptized again to make a long story short. She wanted the person that baptized her to baptize her son. She'll probably want him to baptize her too once she finds out she needs to do it again.
Anyways that's the news here hows it going in Az? hot?
I don't have any questions to answer so I'll just finish with a quote for the week.
"You can count how many seeds are in an apple but, you can't count how many apples are in a seed." -Pres. James E. Faust
"When life is more than you can stand... kneel." -Bishop Fairbanks of the Syracuse Ward.
well love ya!-Elder Dandridge

HAPPY NOVEMBER 09
Halloween Missionary STYLE!Hey Everyone!
I have been having so much fun the last couple of days! Even though it was raining we still got out there and found some people! This week I had my 2nd Transfer Training. What is that? Well basically I got to work with one of the assistance and one of my zone leaders. As we were out working it started to rain and some construction workers asked us "are you guys heading in soon?" Elder Brandon quickly said "NOT A CHANCE!" I don't know why but the 3 of us busted up laughing for along time. Then down the street we found this drunk guy that kept trying to tell us that God is black.... hahaha.... so he was asking us if he was and Elder Bench said, "if some one gave you tickets to the super bowl in California would you try to figure out how to get there or what color the seats were?" haha man I probably didn't get any sleep because it was hysterical!
ON a more spiritual note though I found a new quote by Joseph Smith that is really cool! Some one asked me what the word Mormon meant, I explained that it was a name of a prophet... but he still wanted to know what it meant so I found the answer.
here it is:
"I may safely say that the word Mormon stands independent of the learning and wisdom of this generation. Before I give a definition, however, to the word let me say that The Bible in its widest sense means GOOD; for the Savior says according to the Gospel of John, "I am the good shepard;" and it will not be beyond the common use of terms to say that GOOD is among the most important in use, and though known by various names in different languages, still its meaning is the same, and ever in opposition to "bad." We say from the Saxon, "good"; the Dane, "god"; the Goth, "goda"; the German, "gut"; the Dutch, "goed"; the Latin "bonus"; the Greek, "kalos"; the Hebrew "tob"; and the Egyptian "MON." Hence with the addition of "MORE," or the contraction "MOR" we have the word "MOR-MON" which means literally, "MORE GOOD"
Yours,
Joseph Smith"
I thought that was so cool that the book of mormon really means "The Book of MORE GOOD"
Share it with some one today :)
Well thank you all for everything and especially for those packages :)
