We had one Friday for a man named John. When we teach people as
missionaries, we try to help them have the end in mind. We want them
to be planning for making it into the temple and the celestial
kingdom. He understands that perfectly! His goal is to be sealed to
his family in one year. He wants to do baptisms for the dead monthly
with his kids once we baptize them. Once he's retired he wants to work
as a temple worker. His goal is for his kids to serve missions and
have their kids serve missions. He wants all his children and
descendants to be in the celestial kingdom with him. He's the man!!
Then Saturday we had a baptism for a 9 year old girl named Alana.
She's super cute! She was a little timid at first. She doesn't like to
talk to anyone but her immediate family. She warmed up to us and she
loves the gospel. She loves being able to know that she'll have her
family forever. It was such a great 2 days!
This week I left my sunglasses on the dash of our truck for a few
hours. It was a very warm day and the sun was beating down. The frame
of my sunglasses snapped from the heat! Not only that, but Elder
Hedrick's sunglass lens fell off of his and won't go back in. So now
we're sunglassless in the Arizona desert...
This week Elder Hedrick and I hit the standard of excellence for our
mission. We've been having a lot of success and our members are
helping us so much! I'm so excited to be here at this time. The Lord
is truly blessing us. We found 4 new people to teach this week!
I love the gospel. I love the scriptures. I love my savior Jesus
Christ. I love being able to bring happiness to others. I love all the
support that each of you give me. I hope everything is great. I love
you all! Have a dandy week!!
