Week Two Whoo Hoo!

Week two was actually almost as exciting as week one, but also pretty stressful. Adam and Kim, our awesome investigators, were married Friday and baptized Saturday! It was amazing to see how wonderful their spirits are and I can't wait to see the amazing things they do! They have such strong testimonies, and I know that this step is just the beginning in their journey to becoming more like Christ and Heavenly Father. After all, that is the reason we are here, to be tested on our faith to see if we turn to Christ in love!

The Wedding Friday Night

The Baptism Saturday Night

I learned two stressful things about baptisms:

First, it takes TWO HOURS to fill the font. Crazy town, Right?!

And second, behind the scenes is pretty crazy because you don't want the peeps getting baptized to worry! I am so grateful that I was able to experience that now! Now when I get more baptisms (Hopefully 🙏) then I know how much needs to go into it.

This week was pretty hot and humid! So, of course we spent a lot of it walking outside! Haha I love it though. It is amazing to see the people the Spirit can guide you to! I have two great examples:

First we street contacted a lady named Morgana, who said that she was so glad we came up to her, because her family had all had a "spiritual awakening" and are looking for a church!

Second was what I like to call " inspired tracting". Sister Bishop and I prayed before we knocked on doors, and we were able to find Tony! He was very receptive, and he is very excited to learn more.

Sadly, that's all the action we've been getting out here. Our pool of investigators had kinda dried up. So our goal this week to to find two new investigators! We are praying and we did our fast this week focused on finding the people ready to be taught. I can't wait to find those people that are out looking for the greatest joy in the whole wide world!!

I'm still learning more and more each day. I also find that every time I learn something new, it can help me better teach the people here. Yet another assertion that none of is is about me, it's all about bringing others to the knowledge that Heavenly Father loves them, and that He wants them to come back home eventually! I can't lie though, I have caught myself thinking that I know enough and I can do it all. Then I'm kindly reminded that the only way to be successful in this work is by literally giving my whole life, and giving it to God's will. The only way I can give my whole heart, is by continually allowing the spirit to blow my mind with wonderful new thing to learn.

Being a missionary is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done, but I am always positive, because I know that Heavenly Father and Christ are proud!

Bye homies! Keep doing good!
