WASSSSUPPP friends and fam back
home!!!!!
I hope you guys are all doing
awesome back in the 801!
Some funny stuff first that
happened this week. One night me and Elder Hess were working super hard and had
a late baptism and everything so we never got a chance to even eat. So a member
got us a pizza and we drove back to the place to grub before bed. So the pizza
was too cold and we wanted some good food and so we thought we would just throw
the pizza and breadsticks in the oven real quick. Elder Hess threw it in and we
both went back to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I had a weird impression
to go and check on the pizza. I walked out to a flame coming through the oven
hahaha. I started yelling elder hess!!! elder hess!!! He came running out all
startled and started freaking out too. He then cracked open the oven a little
and I heroically threw a bucket of water in and dowsed the flame!!!!! haha We
didn’t salvage much pizza from the fire and our house has smelt like smoke the
entire week haha it has sucked. hahaha
Now a cool spiritual experience.
So first we have this man named
Marty who has a baptismal date for October 7th. His job has been making him
travel a lot and we hadn’t been able to see him in forever. However, last night
we got a text from him asking for us to come meet up with him at his place. So
we sped up there both pretty pumped to get this guy baptized here soon. When we
got there he was being so cool and I love him so much. However, he was really
not sure about baptism as we got talking. As soon as he said that a scripture I
had been studying popped into my head and so I just asked if we could all read
it "Alma 32:21" As I read it and explained that we all are imperfect
and none of us know this gospel completely anyways, so if he will just be proactive
and act on his faith God will bless him. I didnt really expect or pre-meditate
to say any of those things and I know they were exactly what I needed and now
Marty is sticking to his date and I hope we can continue to get him feeling of God’s
love.
I love all the people we teach,
the faith of the saints out here is so strong and we have a lot of
investigators and stay super busy. Which is good Heavenly Father knows me and
knows my weaknesses and I am becoming so much stronger and love it here!
