Hello!!! It was such a wonderful week! So many miracles, let me give you the rundown...
Last Tuesday we had a mini Zone conference with just our zone where we talked about how to improve our work with members so that was good. Afterwards Jasmine had her baptismal interview and she passed!! So exciting, we also had a lesson with one of our newer friends, Andy at the church building and we later found out that he walked for an hour and a half in the Florida heat to get there! Kinda crazy.
The next day we got to meet with our friend Shannan for the first time in awhile and it was so good to see her. She had just kinda taken a step back, but we were able to meet and address some concerns so that was really great! We also got to go to a cute little Relief Society activity where we made some cards! They turned out so cute!
On Friday night we set up FHE with a family we've been working with and we played Monopoly (which actually takes forever so we had to cut the game short). But before we played we saw that they had a wall with everyone's heights throughout the years and we asked if we could be on the wall so they measured us and got us on the wall! We also got to visit some members who have a bunch of lil puppies, so that was fun!
On Saturday, Jasmine was baptized! It was so amazing, she was baptized by her husband and despite us worrying if the font was going to be full enough, she went all the way under on the first try. I love baptisms so much, it's just such a feeling of joy to see someone make their first covenant with God especially after teaching them. It brings so much joy to my life! The baptism service went well and was just perfect for Jasmine.
Later that day we had dinner with some members and we were doing relatives around me and one sister in our ward was trying to tell Elder Bird that they were like 8th cousins or whatever, but instead she saw his first name on family search and just went "RYAN! we're cousins!" And we were all shook to our cores.
Jasmine was confirmed by her husband on Sunday and it was so wonderful! Later we had dinner with the Loughmillers and they had a lil birthday party for me! It was so sweet, I love their family.
Crazy thing happened this morning while I was talking to my mom, Sister Huish's mom showed up at my house! They were in Meridian for the weekend so they arranged to meet and prank us!
Overall it was such a good week, we had so many lessons and we had members out with us all the time it was so good. Being a missionary is pretty cool
Spiritual Thought:
Mosiah 18:20-22
"Yea, even he commanded them that they should preach nothing save it were repentance and faith on the Lord who had redeemed his people. And he commanded them that there should be no contention one with another, but that they should look forward with one eye having one faith and one baptism having their hearts knit together in unity and in love one toward another. And thus he commanded them to preach, and thus they became the children of God."
I love how simple the gospel of Jesus Christ is and how all that we are asked to do is have faith and turn to him and repent! It really isn't that deep, but sometimes it can be hard. But we always know what we're supposed to be doing! So go keep having faith and trusting in God and Jesus Christ, they'll never let you down
Love y'all, have a great week!
