Small Lessons

I have been thinking a lot lately about all the INCREDIBLE people we have met living here this year. I am fascinated with people's stories; what they do, what makes them tick, what they've been through.
There are SOOO many people here that I admire.
Many of them have taught me life lessons. Here's a couple:
One friend taught me:  cooking meat should either go low and slow or fast with high heat (a very practical piece of advice but literally has changed cooking for me!). Sometimes depression is simply a need to take a walk outside every day consistently. Exercise and fresh air can do wonders. She teaches my son in primary and said the secret to keeping their attention is to study and know your stuff and then just talk and teach without the book. She truly teaches by the spirit. Cody still talks about old lessons they had from her.

Another friend told me once about a friend she had with lots of questions about the church. She had to do a LOT of studying and praying and would come up with tiny bits of answers from hours of time and effort. This friend is very smart and I'm sure some of that is attributed to her diligent effort.
