HEYYYY how is everybody doing??? I hope everybody has recovered from Parker’s
wedding haha. I of course was sad
to miss it but I am so happy for Park and Jenna and happy that my cardboard
cutout could be there to support haha!! Also Happy Birthday to Park tomorrow!!!!! I miss you bro and hope your day is
great out in Texas!!
This week was a really good week. We had two exchanges with the zone
leaders from Bentonville and Fort Smith and they were both such great days with
great missionaries.
The highlight of the week would have to be of course
Carl's baptism. The whole $quad
came out to see it haha. All the
young men in this ward are great and they are a very close group that just
really support and help each other! Carl is a great addition to our ward and is progressing so
quickly. He
is going to come out to teach with us this Tuesday! I am so grateful to have met him.
Carl's Baptism. Dusty,Carl's friend who baptized him, Elder Leavitt, Mikey & Carl. |
The next really cool miracle that happened this week is
that we were tracting this huge apartment that is just full of Marshallese
people! I didn’t know this but
about everybody in the Marshall Islands has been taught by missionaries haha. The church is huuuge over there so
everybody knows who we are. Unfortunately not a whole lot of them want to commit to
putting away cigarettes etc. Well
we were tracting and having a lot of success in finding people actually. We found a lot of members just nobody
that really still wanted to be active. Well flash forward to a door we knock on. A woman comes out and says that she has
been praying for us to come knock on her door. Her name is Li-badeo Aidrickdrick. She came to church the next day and her husband is coming
soon from the island and they hope to be sealed soon!
But I love you all and hope you have a great week. Remember the Lord rewards effort. I know that is true I have seen it
countless times. The Lord rewards
effort, even when the fruits are not seen.
