Well hey theeeere :D (Off of Madagascar)
Haha this week has been good! We are teaching J. and he has
a baptismal date for the 4th of may! His mom is a member and he's like 9.
He's really smart and wants to be with his family forever and wants the help of
the Holy Ghost! Pretty cool! I think that Little kids are the easiest and funniest
to teach. Also, good news, I've lost 13 pounds since coming to Texas! I gained
13 pounds in the MTC and now I'm back. But I don't have as much muscle.... Haha
This week we went out to this little town called
Sonora. It's about an hour south of San Angelo. It was pretty cool but small, really
small. Kind of like Santaquin and the canyon at the farm all put together. And
there was like a little Mexico. Just a bunch of Mexican houses! We gave this
guy a blessing. It started out as a contact and we taught him about the Restoration and about
authority. He talk about how he was sick and didn't want to die. So, we told
him that we hold that Authority and if he has faith, then he can be healed. So
he said, "Let’s do it" So we gave him a blessing and then we had to
go. It was pretty cool.
I've been reading in 1st Nephi and I love it. I've learned a
lot about Faith. And about obedience. Nephi is a beast! And he knows how to
listen to the spirit. It's all about a willingness to obey and humility! And the
practice of actually doing it. That's what I've been working on. Humility is
key!
Love you all! :D Let’s go to work!
"My watermelon!"
