Lots of stuff happened this week and it's been great. I love this area and my district is literally the best. And now I have to leave. I'll let you know where next week or you can just watch my Facebook. And I'm also going District Leader so we'll see how long it takes for President to realize that was a mistake.
But here's the highlights of one of the best weeks ever:
Machete - we were helping this family with their yard work and they had let it get real long and so their mower kept getting clogged up. So we grabbed two machetes and started hacking away. It was actually fun and super effective. Video below.
DC - last DC with the best district ever. We shared our testimonies and had an awesome time
Meet + Greet - this was the official meeting where our New President said hi, introduced himself, and then gave us some instruction. It was super good, funny, and a really good learning experience. And afterwards got to talk to all my friends and past comps and that's always awesome.
Miles baptism - we started at 4 and it was awesome! The talks that were given and the love felt there was so awesome. He was so nervous but afterwards his smile was so huge and he was so happy. I absolutely love this Gospel and I love him. Our bishop gave the final words and it really struck me what he said: He had interviewed Miles for a temple recommend and while people normally say yes or no, Miles said "with all my heart." I love that.
Khimanis baptism - right after Miles baptism we hurried to another building for Khimanis baptism at 5:30 where I had the privilege of baptizing her too. It was also very sweet and cool to see how much love the members had for her after only knowing her for a short time. It was so sweet, as was the sugar I was finally able to eat. All in all it was a great Saturday!
Spiritual thought - this one is short but important. There was kind of a theme with the two baptisms. One of love. Love is one of the most important things. It motivates us, strengthens us, and it's what brings us together. As Moroni 7:46 says, "my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing"
He does not mince words. Charity, or the pure love of Christ is something for everyone to have, feel, and share. It's what everyone wants and you can share it. Please do, please act as our Savior would and show love to everyone, because whether they look like they need or not, they do.
I love you all so much. I miss you so much. And I know that God feels that on a level we can't comprehend fully right now, but the little bit we can is amazing!
Hope y’all have a great week!
