Well... where to begin, this past Friday, I had
my mid-life crisis. I would send you pictures but the computer won’t let
me...
It seems like yesterday
that my family kicked me to the curb of the Provo, UT MTC. And just a short
while ago that I was entering into the field, a brand new greenie, and having
no clue what I was doing. (I still have no idea what I am doing.) But this I do
know, that I am on the Lords errand. I am his servant, called to preach the
gospel to the 4 quarters of the earth. Called to teach repentance and baptize
converts. I am so grateful for this marvelous work. I know that this gospel is
true. I know that Christ himself came down to do the will of the Father and
that they both love us so much. God lives! He is a God of miracles! He has
changed me and He can change anyone. I was like Alma the younger in the Book of
Mormon- One of the "vilest of sinners" and now, because of the
amazing grace of the Atonement, I am made new, and I am made whole. A mighty
change has wrought in my heart that I have no more disposition to do evil but
to do good continually, and for the rest of my life be a servant of the Lord.
This testimony I leave in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and
Redeemer, amen.
This week was awesome.
Paul and Roxanne are actually pushing there baptism back to the 13th so I will
have 3 baptisms in a row, Emily Baker on the 6th, Paul and Roxanne on the 13th
and then Shannon and Kinzee on the 20th! Yay for baptism!!! I love watching
people change! It’s seriously so amazing to watch them grow and change for the
better and relearn the things that they fought for in the pre-existence.
Hmmm... What else
happened...? My comp and I have so much fun together. Sister Razmataz and I are
a dynamic duo ;) call her sister Razmataz that’s what Paul calls her! Ha-ha! A
funny moment we had this week was that we were just going about our normal
night, we returned home and we got a call from sister Taylor and Bischoff and
they said that they needed us to come to the stake center to free the Zone
Leaders ... They were stuck in the nursery and the lock on the door was broken
and the key didn't work or anything... and so we were there for 45 min to
almost an hour and we finally called someone from our ward and like 10 min
after we left, they finally got them out! But we were just dying laughing
because they were pretty scared and nothing was working... but it was awesome :)
ha-ha!
On the other hand, a sad
moment we had is we were street contacting and stopped these 2 teenagers and
one was smoking an e-cig and they seemed pretty interested so we gave them each
a Book of Mormon and then we saw them later sitting at a park pavilion and we
went through there after they were done and it was the saddest thing ever...
The book of Mormon was ripped to shreds and part of it was burned... We cried
as we picked it up and recycled it. So, lesson learned, don't hand out Book of
Mormons like candy. It is sacred text and deserves to be in the right hands. But
this week we handed out about maybe 30... It was cool. We talked to 155 people
on the street. That’s 155 children of God that had the opportunity to accept or
reject the gospel this week and most of the rejected it...
But the work of the Lord
will go forth to EVERY nation, kindred, tongue and people.
I love you all so
much!
