The first week in the field was rough, I have to admit, but missions are awesome!!
SO, this week I had a lot of meetings but wifey mission president asked if I would sing at this thing called " Come See For Yourself". It is supposed to be a big fireside where all the missionaries in our mission bring their investigators and recent converts share their conversion stories and testimonies. There is also music and videos and stuff and I am just super excited about it. BUT it is on the 26th so stay tuned. We are inviting the world.
Sister Johnson and I set a goal to baptize all of Arlington while we are here. I'm pretty sure this can happen. Want to know why? WELL, the answer starts with me telling you about another personal goal of mine. It is to have a better understanding and love for the Book of Mormon. I have read it many times but I guess the timeline of everything confused me and I never really understood what was going on half the time. SO, I decided to try something new. I picked up one of those children's Book of Mormon stories picture books and I read through it ( I know, I am a child)( a child of God) but let me tell ya, it was the best decision ever. I never really liked reading unless it had pictures but now I have pictures and I understand everything! I have started re reading the Book of Mormon and I can't tell you guys enough, I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON! holy smokes! You know how we are taught things from when we are little and we knew they were true because it's just true but when you really search and find answers for yourself, things become so much more true and that pattern continues as you keep searching and doing what's right. SO, I will baptize all of Arlington because the prophets in the Book of Mormon show me that it is possible. Just you wait and see people.
So, this week was great but the best part about this week was a first that I had, I had the opportunity to ask Steven if he would be baptized. Guess what he said. HE SAID YES YALL. It was awesome! It's times like those that make me so excited to keep on keepin on.
I have also realized what a special and sacred opportunity it is to have a front row seat in seeing the Atonement work in the lives of everyone I talk to and teach. The Gospel changes lives. It has changed mine. Where would I be without my Heavenly Father and his son, Jesus Christ?
SHARE YOUR TESTIMONIES EVERYONE!! I used to get so annoyed at missionary emails because that's what they would always tell you to do but seriously, you are building bricks to heaven with every time you testify and bring the spirit into your everyday conversations. People will change, and the Lord will help you if you learn to trust and rely on him.
I love you all so much! Each one of you has molded me into the person I am now, the person who is helping others to come unto Christ. be safe and have a baller summer yo.
Love Always,
