Sickness and Health

This week was very unproductive. We were sick for more than half of it with some sort of head cold. We just slept most of the days. Yesterday we had an interesting sit down with one of our less active members. He is old and has a lot of health problems and lives with a part member family that we are working closely with our bishop. The old man is named Brother Bobo and he is one of the most hateful people I have ever met. He has been kicked out of like 4 nursing homes because he is such a problem with other people. So the members called us and asked if we would come and try and calm Bobo down and get him to eat his food and take his medications because he was diabetic. He had locked himself up in his room and just refused to do anything. we tried to show him how he was over reacting, again, but it was just a battle of whose pride was bigger. After awhile of that I came up with the idea to get him to pray and then we would all go around in the room and make a list of things we are grateful for and like about other people, because Bobo has never said anything nice about anyone else since I had gotten there. We did that for 30 minutes and by the time we left the spirit was there and he had calmed down. We left him and from what we know all worked out well. Yeah we had to be rather harsh and bold with Bobo because we had to cut him off when ever he tried to turn his talk into hate and anger. I had a blast. Well, nothing new here. Lots of love.
