This week was a solid one. Had some miracles happen and a ton of awesome experiences. Tuesday
Today was freakin awesome because my trainer Elder Cragun took my comp and I out to lunch. It’s been almost exactly a year since I saw him so it was cool being able to catch up. He left halfway during his mission to his original assignment in Tahiti. So it was awesome hearing all the things he saw. We had some solid visits today and spent a lot of it preparing for our baptisms this weekend. This dude today took a wood sword and pretended to slice my head off. His name is onius
Wednesday
15 Months on the mission today. It’s gone by super fast and I’m just holding on to the time that I have left. We had ZLC today and talked to the district leaders about the zone and how to motivate them to do crap. Today this 9 year old girl named jazzy called another girl the B word and she is getting baptized next week.
Thursday
Pretty chill day. We went to lunch with some elders and then had our weekly planning. We started printing out the baptismal programs for the baptisms this weekend. We went to a ton of houses today and found a new person to teach named brinley. Her mom said she just asked her for the missionaries to come over and then we showed up. So it was definitely a miracle that we met her. We have exchanges tonight so I’m with Elder Smith in Granger for the next day.
Friday
The exchange with Elder Smith went super well. We had district council outside today because all the food were locked to the church so we did it in the trunks of the car. We had a lesson at this dudes house and he had it stuffed to the brim with comics and action figures. Dude have us a ton of Teen titan comics from the 1980’s. We found 2 new people to teach today so it was super exciting to see the area grow. Got news today that my companion and I are giving a 40 minute training in zone conference so that sucks. It will be good though. Maybe.
Saturday
Today was the most hectic and fast paced ones I have had in awhile. We had 2 baptisms today and one boys baptism named Ike went perfectly smooth and the other for Mia was insane. We had the baptism at 5 and everyone showed up except the girls family that was getting baptized, they texted us to move it to 6. Everyone goes home and comes back at 6 and the family gets to the church at 6:30. At this point my companion has been in his white jumpsuit for 2 hours. The girl puts the suit on over her clothes and the little kids start trying to jump into the font while the others ones are doing circles around the conductor. It was the craziest baptism I have ever seen. Definitely had a good laugh after we were the only ones in the building locking up.
Sunday
I had opportunity to give Mia the holyghost and it was definitely something I will always remember. We found some new people to teach today which was a Mircle cause we had 1 at the beginning of Sunday and ended with 3 more. It’s crazy how the lord can work Miracles if you put for effort and have faith.
Inspirational scripture :
Isaiah 64:8
But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Heavenly father loves us so much and wants to best for all of us. We all have our wants and desires but in the end aligning gods will with ours will make us most happy. He can mold us into the people we want to become as we turn to him
