Week 88. Friends are the Best!

 Sup. This week has been amazing! Lots of miracles and lots of great lessons. Here are the highlights:

Caitlin - she finally texted us back after a month and wanted to meet last Monday. We did, it was good, set up a lesson and she was at basketball that night. She had to cancel again, it's crazy how many times this has happened. But we were able to talk to her again Sunday night and got some more plans this week. We'll see how it goes

Azalee - so we got this call, from some Elders, on Tuesday morning at 10:45 asking if we were on our way for a combined lesson at 11.  so we hurried and left, and because it was downtown it took another 20 minutes to find parking. Luckily, she showed up the same time we did. 

She was definitely prepared by God, Christian all her life, wanted to be baptized but priests said it was for babies, a member friend gave her BoM, she read it in 3 days and loved it. Got in contact with missionaries and then we met her because she's a young adult. Her baptismal date is June 3rd and she's so hype. We invited her to our Wednesday dinner the next day, she came, loved it and stayed til 9. She loved it and became instant friends with Kat and Kayla. Then Sunday she gets a ride from our ward mission leader and goes to relief society with her and meets everyone and then rides the bus home with someone else. 

I know these look like small details, but they are amazing. It's like she was already part of the ward family and was just gone for a bit, but now she's back and it's awesome. I hope that made sense. She's awesome 

Mos - we met and talked outside the church on some benches. The day was amazing and has been the whole week. Best part besides the Gospel, he brought me a homemade shake. It was great. We talked about truth and following and listening to the one source of Truth. It was good, I just wish July 5 was here already so I could hear his answer and know what's going on inside his head, although that might take me a while

2nd Sacrament - Mothers day was great and we had some friends, and some new moved in members too. But Kat and Kayla weren't able to come and got permission to get the sacrament from us later. And so we held a tiny sacrament meeting and it was pretty awesome. We asked them both to give a talk on the spot and Kayla did a really good one on the commandments of God. How it's a privilege, because as we follow these relatively easy commandments we are blessed beyond measure. And that although there are some that are more difficult for each individual, as we take that step of Faith and do it despite the hardship, God will bless us with the strength to do it. 

Spiritual Thought - Just to finish what I started in the last point, God wants us to have joy, love, progress and safety, for eternity. For that to happen, He showed us the path. It is our privilege to walk it and our duty to share it. That doesn't make it easy, in fact, the path is sometimes steep, sometimes rocky, and sometimes with no shade. But it doesn't make it the wrong path. As we stay true to our Covenants and keep the commandments that Christ has shown us, we will know the True path from Satan's temptations of an easier route that leads to sadness, misery, and death. But the True Path leads back to God, the commandments and Covenants not only point the way, but give us the strength to take each step until we arrive at His feet in Gratitude. 

I love you all, and I wish you well on each one of your paths. Don't forget help is always there from God and from His loving children. That means you
