18 months....
I hit 18 months on the mission this week...
18 months whole months I've been serving as a full time missionary. And luckily I get to stay a few more weeks!! These seriously have been the best 18 months of my life. And I sure am not ready for them to end. It breaks my heart to think about so I'm just not gonna talk about it okay:)
So this has been such an amazing week! Like seriously best week ever. Amazeballs week.
We had 12 investigators come to church Sunday! 12! That's the best I've ever had on my mission. It was a hectic Sunday. We were hopping from one church to the next. Going on splits. And sitting with all of our investigators. It was so fun but so exhausting.
We had an amazing lesson with Kameron this week. All he wants for Christmas is to be baptized and he just has the strongest testimony of a 17 year old boy I've ever seen.
We gave Alejandro and Rico the children's Book of Mormon on Friday and on Sunday they told us they finished the whole book! WOW! These kids are amazing.
Gary, well what can I say, Gary is amazing and has such a strong testimony. He had his baptismal interview and is all set! He will be the first member in his family so he is going through some hard stuff, but he has never been so strong.
I had MLC this week and we set a goal for December to have 120 baptisms this month for our mission, which means each stake has to have two baptisms. It's gonna be a WHITE CHRISTMAS for sure! We have 6 convert baptisms scheduled for December 16th in our stake, two at 10:30, one at 11:30, two at 3:33, and one at 5pm. It's gonna be the best Saturday ever! I'm so pumped!
The mission put on a musical fireside this week at the Brigham city tabernacle and it was a full house with lots of investigators there. I was asked to speak at it on my testimony of reflecting Christ's light. It was so nerve wracking having everyone watching but I think it turned out well and a lot of people came up to me and thanked me for my testimony.
As for my spiritual thought today I just want to share my favorite quote:
"Today is the day that we represent him
Today is the day we exercise our faith
That we cast our own selfish selves aside and say
What would he say if he were here today
What would he do if he were here today
And what would he think If he were here today
Those are the things I will do
Those are the things that I will say
And that is the way that I will think
Today is the day that eternity changes
Today is the day that I will walk with God."
I strive to do those things everyday and to become more like Christ as I live the gospel of Jesus Christ and have his doctrine embedded in my heart. Love you all!
