Week 73

Monday, May 6, 2019

So this week all the missionaries will travel to the capital of the mission to have a tour with Elder Basset of the seventy. It’s gonna be a great opportunity to seek inspiration and personal revelation and see how we can become better and fulfill our calling and magnify it with more intensity. Also it’s gonna be fun to see a bunch of old companions and friends. But this means that they are going to do the transfers one week early and take advantage that everyone is already there for transfers. I have no idea what will happen. 

     

So this week we moved the baptism of Eric and Gabriel because we are waiting on one of their moms and we wanted to give her more time and more chances to accept the gospel with her child. So next Saturday we will have the baptism. I may or may not be here which is sad but what matters is that they accept the gospel and preform the ordinances of salvation. It would be fun to get to share that special day with them though. 

     

May 5th... First is the birthday of Becca. But also was the day that I got baptized 12 years ago. I was reflecting a lot about that. With 8 years we don’t have a lot of knowledge. But knowledge isn’t the main requirement. Baptism is an act of faith and repentance. Not an act of understanding and knowledge. These things (knowledge and understanding) definitely help and are great resources. We are members of the true gospel of Christ and must have the faith to accept that we may not know everything. But we do know that Christ is our savior and redeemer of the world. He truly leads this church!

     

Sunday I was given the chance to teach the entire ward in a special combined 2nd hour class. It was a lot of fun and great to see the members open up with each other. The person who assigned me apologized for giving me one minute to prepare. (He literally asked me on our way to the class). But thinking back we all have had a lot more time to prepare to serve and edify Gods Kingdom. We can’t let small things stop us from working and gaining the blessings. Always be ready and willing to serve. 

Anyways, I hope you all had a great week and wish you another great one as we start with this wonderful Monday!

Love you all tons and wish you all God has to offer!
