I can't even believe how great this week was. I all honesty this was the best week of my mission. I don't even know where to begin! haha
Eva's Baptism!
This was an amazing experience! She has been taught on and off for 5 years and right when we got here she decided she wanted to be baptized (it wasn't because of us, she was just ready haha). they hadn't had a baptism in over a year and this was the first one in over a year! It made us so happy to be a part of it!
Flat Tire!
Right after the baptism we got to our car and we see that there is a nail in the tire and it is flat. So thanks to my amazing and knowledgeable dad, I knew how to change the tire and get the car on the road to get the tire patched and back to the work of the Lord. But when we got to the 2nd tire shop we dropped off the car and got to talk to 2 amazing guys working in the front. They were hilarious and so positive. Usually when we go to get work done for the car the people are not having a good day, but we got there and they were laughing, cracking jokes, and just being so kind. As we were talking they opened up to us and told us their story about their recovery for alcoholism and their families and their church. they were so funny, they kept saying, "Yeah, this flat repair is on the house, it's for the Lord's car!" haha they were 100% right! but they asked us if we would share a scripture with them so we gave them each a Book of Mormon with Alma 36: 17-21 highlighted and asked them to read it. They were just so nice!
The Power That Comes From The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ!
We had interviews and I got to talk to the Mission President and wow was it amazing! I was able to talk openly with him and I felt changed the next day. I don't even know how to describe it! It was the best feeling. That is the feeling that come after true change, true repentance. When we change things in our lives, the spirit gives us true joy. I can't even explain how I felt. I was giddy! Like a little girl! I was just so happy! And it wasn't because any of my circumstances changed, but because my perspective and attitude changed. I was different. The power that comes through Jesus Christ's sacrifice is so real! I don't even know how to explain it, but it was amazing. that was what made this week so amazing! Every negative thing went away and I was just able to see clearly, without the negative things clouding my vision. It was just unexplainable. I wasn't comparing or judging myself or others and I had a real desire to serve the Lord and give my all. I am just so grateful that we are able to change. Honestly we all can feel like that every day. We can change and be better every day. I think Heavenly Father let me feel what true joy feels like and it still hasn't ended!! It's going to continue as I continue to work and repent every day.
Have a marvelous day everybody!
1. So we made a Texas Sheet Cake with one of the members today because she was super excited about it when I wasn talking about the recipies I have from my mom. But the thing was they don't have an oven so we made the batter with them, drove to the church, baked it, drove bake, made the frosting, and then ate it. It was so fun!
2-4 Eva's baptism!!
