My first baptism!!!!
So after I
finished writing last week we got to work! We had FHE with a family and
afterwards she gave us cow heart..... Not too bad to be honest, it was better
than the cow stomach I ate a few weeks ago!
We have been
trying to teach one of our investigators who didn't show up to his baptism,
things are really hard for him, but he has a great heart and I really want to
help him understand his purpose here on the earth! One of my favorite quotes
from the book, Continuous Conversion, is that we aren't earning heaven we are learning
heaven. Our life here on the earth is to give our will to the Father just as
Jesus Christ did. We must love and serve others and continually nourish
ourselves in the Gospel. When we do so our desire will be to fulfill the lords
will. Read Isaiah 55! So great!
This week we have
been blessed with a ton of rain. We were prepared on Tuesday for it, but on
Wednesday we weren`t. We had to run under a tree and to seek protection from
the rain and then some nice people allowed us to sit under there patio covering
and we talked with them for a little bit. After it stopped raining and we were
walking and looking for someone to talk to. We met a younger girl in the street
with her baby and her two younger sisters. We talked to her and as she began to
have tears in her eyes, I just knew how much the savior loved her and it took
all my strength not to cry like a little baby. It was just so powerful and I am
so grateful to have grown up knowing I am a daughter of God!
We finished out
the week with some Baptisms!!! Yay!!! first was the gentleman Hna Santos
and I have been teaching on Saturday and then he was confirmed on Sunday!!! Yay
and then we attend the baptism of the other Hna`s! all and all it was a
fantastic weekend and the spirit just keeps teaching me and all those around
me! it is so powerful! I love you all and want you to know that you are the
greatest! I hope you have a great week!
