Well, so this week felt pretty long but was pretty good, and ended great. One thing I did not like was that I started a new journal. And if y'all remember, a few weeks ago, I accidentally skipped two pages. So I could've finished January and started February in a new one but nope. Anyways, here are the highlights:
Last p day - the last p day before transfers we went to Fort Casey and had tons of fun playing tag and signs. It was fun and sad to say bye to everyone.
Tuesday - we taught Misty the Plan of Salvation and then as we left she gave us both a ukulele. Then we gave Seth a priesthood blessing, and had dinner at the Hoch's. It was pretty funny because after the lesson Glenn called his son and he had just left a basketball game that Fremont had won. Let's go!!!
Service - helping people move stuff or move out. It's happening a lot and my comp is so done with it, it's kinda funny.
Paperwork - this week we did a lot of contacting member records and it was... interesting. 90% no longer lived there for 3-6 years. 7% are no longer interested. 2% don't have homes, just PO boxes, and 1% died. And we aren't even halfway through the list
Taira - we had two lessons with her.
1) bro Biehler couldn't come again and so he asked bro. Baesler and he was just as excited, for a good reason too. We asked how her reading went in 3 Nephi 11 and she pulls out the triple combination that I gave her and it had a whole bunch of bookmarks in it and she asked us about the Atonement. We had a great lesson and that night she prayed and felt the Spirit. It was awesome.
2) We had a lesson with her on Sunday and asked the Hymas' if she could come over for dinner. They are awesome, and so loving. Dinner was awesome and Taira was able to feel more comfortable around people she had never met before and then afterwards we had a lesson on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We involved the Kids and had the parents share their testimony. And so I asked her to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized. She said yes!!!! So awesome!! Granted I didn't want her to feel pressured and so I was scared to ask for a baptismal date, but Elder Moake isn't. He swoops in and asks her if she was thinking about a day already. And she said the 19th!! I love that Elder. He makes up for my lack of confidence. It was super scary asking for the first time if someone would be baptized but super awesome. I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!!!
This week I was invited to choose something, something small, to commit to God the next day. One way I could improve myself every day. I did it and it made my week way better. And so I wanted to encourage you all to do it too. It doesn't have to be hard or even gospel related. But as you pray and commit it to God and ask for His help. He will help you. Today I committed to smile more. And it made the whole day better.
I love you all and I wish the best for you. Have a great week!!
