WEEK 58 "Fortnite Bonding"
Hello everyone,
I dont have much time today but here are the highlights...
We went on an incredible temple tour with our cute family (Teresa and Rolando). They have always been obsessed with temples ever since they saw the San Diego Temple. We taught them how their family can been sealed together forever. We had a special moment at the end where we were able to pray all together. These are my favorite prayers. It seems like the heavens are extra close to us in these sacred places. I have a testimony that the temple is the house of God and that if you haven't been in a while or not at all.... PLEASE prepare and do everything that you can to make it there. We are super excited for this family because they will be getting married this Wednesday and then baptized soon.
ALSO I love the new change in the mission. Our president has given us permission to facetime our families in for lessons and guess what? my little brother was there while we taught KEVIN. kevin is ten and is preparing for baptism too. Noah and Kevin bonded over fortnite haha and basketball and spelling bees. They were instant pals and Noah's testimony was very strong when he shared his experience about baptism. He told Kevin that he felt very clean inside when he came up out of the waters and it made kevin extra excited to follow the Savior. Kevin asked if he would be clean on the outside too after baptism and Noah responded, "well duh!' and they both had a good laugh. I just love my family and how they support me in everything. Noah, you rock thanks again for helping out.
The final highlight is that we made some solid plans and goals to help all of our friends come to church. We pulled out some crazy straws. We got all the members involved and we really helped them eliminate all their doubts before. However I think the one thing that I have learned most this week is about accountability. We got up in District council this week and we promised everyone that we would have 6 friends at church that week. God added his power to our efforts and guess what!!! we reached or goal!!! I know that God truly wants us to succeed. He loves us perfectly. We have never seen this many people at church. With God all things are possible.
LOVE YOU ALL!!
