Don't be casual

This week was super good! Elder Shaw and I were super glad to stay together. We love this area and it is doing really well. We got 2 more 9 year old kids on date this week. Hopefully we can get 2 more next week. We are trying to get up to 15 again. I think we will only get to 13 because the other two are quite a stretch. We have been teaching quite a few families but some of them are are super busy this time of year and cant meet very often. We have two families with baptisms coming up, one on the 26th and one on January 2nd. They are both having problems with the word of wisdom but they have come along way. They all use to smoke about 20 cigarettes a day if not more. They have all cut down to 0-1 a day. Well I love these families so much and cant wait to see their lives improve with the gospel. We got to go to the temple yesterday and that was a really cool experience. I learn so much just going through the temple each time. What I've been focusing on so much this week is obedience and diligence. Its so true that if you are just casual about the work the members and the Lord notices! He will put people in your life if you are obedient. I've noticed that if I'm kind of just casual with the work then things don't go as well as you would like. I've been getting kind of casual about the work and couldn't figure out what was wrong with the week. Then I read that if you aren't diligent or obedient then the Lord notices and doesn't trust you with people and the work! Its crazy how this happens! We have been working really hard at this this week. We also went to see Jay this week for the second time and they told us he had passed away! :( So sad. Its good to hear from everyone. Send lots of pics.

Love Elder Lange

This wolf is so skittish so I couldn't get a good pic close to it, but it does come to you sometimes
