Hi everyone! I hope your week is
going awesome. My week was super great and we had some really amazing things
happen.
Tuesday: Today was super great. We
taught like crazy today because we had a ton of referred people. We went to
Catholic charities again this week which was super fun. We worked in the garden
and helped clean up and harvest some carrots and some other things. It was
super hot and humid today as well so we were sweating a ton. We got Puffy Tacos
from a Mexican restaurant called Ray's. They were soo good. In my personal
studies I found a new scripture I really love. In Mosiah 5:15 " Therefore,
I would that ye should be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good
works."
Wednesday: Today was really fun. We
rearranged our study room in our apartment. It was super nice to change it up
and it actually made more room for us in our apartment so that was sweet. We
had district council and had a really cool training by Sister Ibarra on
Humility. Me and Elder Corry and made a super awesome intro video for our zone.
Everyone is making one so we can get to know each other better.
Thursday: Today was good, we went to
Mission Creek to drop of some hot wheel cars for our ministering Elders which
was super fun. We went and dropped a Book of Mormon off at a person we were
teaching on the way home. Later we had an English class and that was soo fun.
The person knows a little English but not much. We helped her with some words
and pronunciation. We watched the new Book of Mormon video about Alma and
Amulek going to prison. It was so good.
Friday: Today was great. We were
pretty much finalizing everything for Rita's baptism tomorrow. Were super
excited for her and her decision. We talked to our families for come follow me.
We had a basketball free throw completion with the Mission Creek Elders over
messenger. It was so fun. We also ran about 2 miles after we got home at 9. It
was super nice and felt great.
Saturday: Today was amazing. We had
Rita's baptism today and it was so special and super cool because we got to
meet her and her family for the first time in person. Same with ward haha. The Spirit
was so strong and it was really cool to see Rita. She was so prepared and
ready. Her husband and 2 sons aren’t members but they still came to support her
which was cool. I was able to play the piano and I had practiced the song “When
I am Baptized" all week for the baptism and it was super good. I’m so
grateful that I can play the piano. It's been such a blessing for me on my
mission. The whole ward watched the baptism through a giant Zoom call. Being
able to help someone come into waters of baptism has been such an amazing
experience for me and I've seen so many blessing of helping others and it's
just really amazing. Right after the baptism when we were leaving, Me and Elder
Corry were prompted to drop by a person we met on the phone the other day. She lived up where we were and it was about 30
minutes away from where we lived so it was perfect. When we got to her house we
saw her talking on the phone sitting on her porch. She saw us and told us to
wait one second. When she got off the phone she burst into tears and started
saying that she was just on the phone with a member of the Church and that God had
sent us to her right then because she needed us. And us being there was a sign
confirmation from him. We gave her a Book of Mormon and said a prayer for her
and told her we would call her tomorrow. After that we left and we were like
amazed of what just happened. We were very grateful that we were prompted by
the Spirit to go to her house. On the way home we saw a homeless man and we
stopped and gave him some snacks we had in the car and right after we did that
another car stopped to give him money. We started a chain reaction which was
super cool as well. We had “Razing Canes” from a member that wanted to feed us
which was awesome.
Sunday: Today was great. We taught a
ton of lessons and I was able to have a video call with my cousin Amber that
lives in San Antonio. It was super cool to see her and get to know her and her
family. We did a really fun building our foundation in Christ object
lesson with them. We used (Helaman 5:12). We also fasted with a member family
of our ward today. It was a really cool experience.
I'm hope y’all had a great week! Can’t
wait to talk to y’all again.
