I hope everyone knows that these are the most boss scriptures in the whole Book of Mormon. Maybe not the whole but I just feel like they are so cool. I just want to smite the earth with the word of God. Man, that's so rad. This week was so great. I probably say the word great more than anyone in the whole blog world but it's such a perfect word for me.
Monday: We taught our 9 year old recent convert. He is the cutest. We showed him this pamphlet and he was like "I know that guy." Then he thought it was this guy in our ward. We were dying laughing. The picture was clearly of a lot older man.
Tuesday: Today was our little 15 year old investigators 16th birthday! We had set up a little surprise birthday party for him at the church but sadly they had to cancel. We wouldn't take no for an answer so we just packed up the party and headed over to his house. When we got there it was so sad because it was only 6pm but everyone was in their own rooms just hanging out. When we were singing happy birthday he was tearing up! So tender. I LOVE being a missionary and I love teaching but sometimes it's nice just to help take care of people's physical and emotional needs not only their spiritually.
Wednesday: We saw our investigator couple. She had her baby 9 days ago! He was SO cute!! She was so amazed that we couldn't hold him. She was like "They don't let you do anything!" We were so sad that we couldn't hold him but we held strong. Guess what? Our investigator committed to being baptized October 25th! The weekend before I leave!.
Thursday: We had exchanges today! It was fun because the the sister I went with and I were both trained by the same person. It was cool to see what things we did the same and what things we did differently. We had a great day and talked to so many people. I was shocked because she told me that her goal was to work on being more genuine. I was asking her why and she said because whenever anyone talks about you they always say how genuine you are. She said that people always say "Sister Smith with red hair, glasses and is from Canada, oh yeah she is just Sister Smith, she's always the same in private or in public." She also said that that was true. I was so flattered.
Friday: Today we had a fun, fun thing! We got to go see Meet the Mormons in the theater! It was kind of crazy because the theater was in the other mission and in a casino but we had permission! Don't worry. We got to go with an investigator and our Bishop's family. We saw so many people from both our wards. It was a reunion. It was SO good. Everyone should go see is as soon as they possibly can!
Saturday: Today the dad and son we are teaching got baptized!! It was so great! The Spirit was so strong. We were so happy. They were so happy. It was just a happy fest. Our newly 16 year old investigator came and after he told us that he wants to be baptized on October 25th!! If everything works out we will have 3 baptisms the Saturday before I come home. Heavenly Father loves me SO much. It's crazy how much.
Sunday: I bore my testimony in church and in the beginning I just slipped in that over the last 18 months I've learned so much. After everyone was like "Wait that means you must go home soon!" Smooth operations. I bore my testimony about how the Atonement does take care of our sins but it's also the good in life. How the Atonement propels us to do more good then we would ever be able to if it was just left up to us.
As you can see life is the best thing ever. I am completely chill about where I am on the mission. I'm so in love with every part of my mission. It's been the very best thing. I'm just happy.
