Week 9 Baptizms & Enthusiasm
Man time files yall! It feels like I was just here back at it again! Anyway this week was kinda litty so let's dive in!
Tuesday: we had a killer DCM and talked about ways that we could come closer to Christ through our efforts to help people so that was cool! Then after we had a great lesson with Lee is preparing for her baptism!
Wednesday: My comps had MLC so they had to dip! But after my comps ditched me for like a million hours!! I went back at it again with Elder Dineco and Elder Wazowski ;) !! We were able to swing by four people and just talked to em it was so awesome the spirit was so strong and even more amazing we had a bussin dinner!! So that was cool and I big stepping stone for me and my testimony!
Thursday: we had a SERVICE PROJECT!!!! and now my back is screwed up for life haha. anyway that's not the point! We were able to help our ward grow through meaningful and impacting service! Then we didn't really know what to do after that so then we just planned out our day then
Friday: we were Able to have a full day of work and exchanges! We found 2 new people that we can teach! So that was cool to see how the lord told us to go to that area and then we found em! Then we went to a members house for dinner and had a great time so that was cool!
Saturday: LEES BAPTISM BABY!! This by far wa the best day of my mission! She had so much joy and when we were starting the meeting she was nervous! But when she went under that was replaced with joy! The spirit hit me so strong and i could feel god shouting for joy and saying see my son you came out because of this!
Sunday Today is our mission wide fast! So I need your help! Pray for me and for my mission that we can reach our goal of 75 baptisms this month!! FASTING MIRIACLE we were on our way back to our apartment and we got a call from this lady that we have been in contacts for weeks! And she told us that she was going through a hard time and that she needed help so we said that the next step for her was baptism and that she said that she wanted to have christ be there for her and she told us that she is ready and now we are meeting her on Tuesday and getting ready for that!!
Spiritual thought: 2 Nephi 31:18-20
18 And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done according to the commandments of the Father and the Son; and ye have received the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and the Son, unto the fulfilling of the promise which he hath made, that if ye entered in by the way ye should receive.
19 And now, my beloved brethren, after ye have gotten into this strait and narrow path, I would ask if all is done? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.
20 Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.
When I look at this passage in the book of mormon I think wow! It's a message for all that whosoever wants to come closer to God then they can do so by believing on him and finding the joy that comes from his light! My testimony today is short but my spirit is everlasting! My friends straight is the gate, narrow is the path but when we keep the commandments of god and have been worthy to have the companionship of the holy ghost then we will receive all the blessings that the lord has instore for us today! But after that is our path over or is it done! Nah psych you thought bro! We have to be able to endure the challenges that come in our day! And a part of that us having the holy ghost! Because my friends discipleship is not a cheap experience because the companionship of the holy ghost is priceless!! So i challenge yall to come closer to christ and realize he loves you and so do i!! Thanks to all of yall!!
TILL NEXT TIME THIS IS YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD UTE FAN SAYING GO UTES AND I'LL SEE Y'ALL IN THE NEXT ONE PEACE!!
Sorry about no pictures! Try my best to do em next week!
