Family,
That's so cool
that Jon and Emma are going to be able to go on Trek this week. That's something I always wanted to do, and I
hope to be able to do it later on in life!
But I wish you all luck and hope that you enjoy Trek a ton!
So this last week
I feel like a ton happened....but at the same time I feel like not very much
happened. How weird how that works right??
It was good though
because we were able to help 2 more of God's children be baptized. The first one is named Martin, and the second
is named Uriel. Martin is a 13 year old
kid, and Uriel is 10. It was really cool
because Martin wanted to get baptized more than anybody I have ever seen. I had already known him, but he found us and
he told us to baptize him then and there, so we talked to him a little bit and
he got baptized. He found us on Saturday and told us how good he has felt since
his baptism. He's a really good example for me as well. Then also the other kid named Uriel is the
cousin of one of our converts and, even though he probably doesn't understand
everything 100%, he had a great desire to be baptized so he as well was
baptized. This is my last month and the
Lord is blessing us a ton, but I have to keep working hard to finish my mission
strong.
Just like you were
saying mom about how you started crying because it was going to be the last
time paying for my mission, I also got a little teary eyed yesterday, sharing
my testimony, when I realized it was my last fast Sunday in the mission. Yesterday while we were eating with one of
the members, we were talking about a lot of stuff, and it finally hit me. Like
even a week ago I felt like I still had a lot of time left.....but it finally
hit me.....and I started getting teary eyed again. I'm going to miss the
mission a ton. The opportunity that we have as young men to represent Christ,
the only perfect person that has ever walked on earth, is amazing, and I would
never change it for anything. I have grown to love Christ...and grown to love
his Atonement. I am so grateful for Him, and I know that I will always be in
debt with Him....which means I have to always work in this marvelous work!
"And he shall
go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and
this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the
pains and the sicknesses of his people." -Alma 7:11
I am so grateful
for Him, and I hope to be able to grow even closer to Him in these 3 weeks that
I have left. I thank all of you for all
your support. I hope Jon and Emma have a
great week at trek! I love you all so
much and miss you tons as well! Have a great week.....take care!!!
