Went on a split with one of my favorite Elders from Brazil, we taught Mario and had a good lesson. Explained to him the importance of coming to church if he wants to get baptized. Mario is just so funny, he loves when we come over sooo much but he is at the point where he just needs to come to church to progress.
Sunday was dope, the 3 Fondja Boys came to church!!! The ward was like how the heck did you elders pull that off? It was pretty funny. We were like well when you actually visit people and get to know them then they realize this isn’t just a Sunday church. Tucker also pulled me aside and asked me to give him a blessing after church which was awesome. And then was asked by 2 more missionaries at zone conference for blessings. I love that we have the power of God on the earth so much.
Since Monday I have been pretty dang sick but we had a ton of work to do so that has been a little hard to keep up the energy, but the Lord gives strength to those who ask for it. We taught family home evening at a members house Monday, met with Bernhard on Tuesday and had a really good lesson with him. He is also way excited for his baptism on Oct. 13th.
Rest of the week was just the norm and then zone conference.
This week I have been thinking a lot about what the prophet has been saying regarding gathering Israel and preparing ourselves for when the lord comes. Like honestly we got to be getting close to that day. And I just had the thoughts of ya know if the savior came tomorrow or next year am I who I need to be to live through that? Am I doing the things now to prepare myself for that or am I just doing things I want to do? It was a pretty interesting self-evaluation for me. I am so glad to be on a mission and involved in the gathering of Israel every day. I don’t want that mindset to change through my life either. The world is literally nuts, it’s crazy out there. I hope we can all hold on to the iron rod in this mist of darkness we live in right now, and if you’re not then come back to it. If your friends or family aren’t doing it then freaking grab them and try and bring them back. We already know what side is going to win at the end of the day, but we need more souls on God’s side staying on the straight and narrow.
Use the gifts God has given you for good, we are going to be held accountable at the last day for what we did or didn’t do with the gifts God has given us.
I love this work, freaking hyped on it sogar.
Have a good week!
Much love
