Hey everybody!
This week has been an
awesome week! A lot has happened but the best of it all was that we had a
weekend in white! We were able to baptize a FAMILY! Our investigators Luis and
Kathy, who are an amazing family. They are going to be super strong members in
the church.
It's them and then
they have their two kids who are 7 and 3. So one of them is going to be getting
baptized next year too! Too bad I won't be here for it. But hey, they are in an
awesome Ward. And their whole family even came as well! Kathy has family that
are already members and they drove all the way from Florida to come and see her
baptism. Everyone was super happy for them.
That same Sunday, our
recent convert Pedro who got baptized two weeks ago, received the Aaronic
Priesthood. He was so excited for it he even went out and bought a brand new
white shirt and tie that he could wear to church. So overall I would say this
was a REALLY good Sunday.
Hmm, what else
happened this week? We
crashed a party in the ghetto part of our area, that was pretty fun. Haha. Our
investigators family that doesn't live in the best part of town was throwing a
party for their daughter’s birthday. And I kid you not, I'm pretty sure the
entire neighborhood was there. It was huge!
We also got dinner
from one of the rich members in the Ward. He signed up on our meal calendar but
he got called in to work on the day he was supposed to feed us. So he dropped
$100 dollars on us to go out and eat on him! We kinda spoiled ourselves
That's right! Red
Lobster baby! Crab, Lobster, and shrimp! Probably the first and only time I
will ever eat at a restaurant like this on my mission. But dang it was so
good,
So yeah, an overall
awesome week. This week is going to be great as well since General Conference
is coming. I'm totally looking forward to listening to the prophet and apostles
and other leaders of the church speak. Conference always just puts you on the
spiritual high, even as a missionary. And it's going to be the last one of my
mission! How crazy is that??
That's it for this
email. Love you guys and talk to you next week!
