First off, I want to apologize to anyone who has not been receiving my e-mails!! I just noticed it today, but apparently my e-mail has not been cooperating to send it to everyone that I put in the group to send it to, so I am so sorry!!! I changed a few things around, and it should work out a lot better now. :D
Alrighty, so, what a great week it's been!!! It was absolutely crazy, there was so much to do, and not nearly enough time to do it. But then again, there's never enough time to do it. There was just even less time for it all.... It all worked out though, and worked out really good.
So before I get into the week, Jordan was baptized on Saturday! His family just started coming back to church 3-4 weeks ago, and now he's baptized!! It was wonderful, their family is making huge strides. Now the next step for them is the temple! That's where we're going to get them next. They just have to keep pressing forward. I love them a lot, they're amazing.
That was one of the highlights of the week, there was lots of cool stuff that happened. We had Leadership Council on Tuesday, and President taught us some amazing things about people, and about how we react in certain situations and why. It just blows my mind every time!! Then Wednesday some cool stuff happened, then Thursday we had Zone meeting!! It was really powerful, everything was lead by the Spirit. We all learned a lot.
Then Friday was exchanges, and Saturday was the baptism, and Sunday we had to catch up on teaching people, then yesterday we had a Zone Labor Day finding activity!!! It was awesome, this Anti-Mormon guy was going over the whole park lying to people about who we were and what we taught, so it's hard to teach someone when he'd run up to them and just *BAM*, spirit's gone. So we all got into the cars for 5 min, said a prayer over a conference call, and he left because he thought we were all gone! So then we went back into the park, and felt inspired to sing some hymns. And then for that last hour, it was just amazing!!! People just came around and 2 by 2 missionaries would go off and talk to them, and bring them to our chalk drawing of the Plan of Salvation, and there was never more than 1 minute where people weren't being taught! We all saw these amazing miracles, and it all happened after we faced major opposition. So crazy. It built all of our faith quite a bit.
Yeah! Life is amazing. Lots of miracles have happened, and they just continue to happen. Life is amazing. I love you all, and hope you have a fantastic week!!! :D
