Weeks are flying by in the service of the Lord! I love it but hate it at the same time! Missions go by so quick because we are constantly doing something. From the moment you wake up til the time your head hits the pillow you are constantly doing something and if you are not then you should be. I love being productive.
We have seen a lot of good things happen this week which is good! Bill came to church yesterday for the 2nd time so he is going to be baptized on Saturday! Hallelujah! He asked if I would baptize him so that pumped me up! We will send pictures of that next week.
Alex has been doing good as well. We met with him quite a bit and he loves learning more. He wasnt able to come to church but he is still on track to be baptized next month. If everything plays out as planned we should have 3 baptisms in a row. Bill, Alex, and then Cheryl. The Lord is blessing us big time!
Miracle time! We teach Bill every night at Mcdonalds and the other day we walk in and see a guy about to leave wearing MMA shorts so I talk to him a little about his life and turns out he is a pro MMA fighter. He then asked us about our life and he said wow I have been looking for a church with the name Jesus Christ in it and I had a dream about going to McDonald's this morning... Miracles Never cease! Unfortunately people forget all about those miracles when they hear that we are Mormon's...
This past week in my personal study I read a scripture that stuck out to me. 1st Corinthians 11:28. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
How often when the Sacrament is passed around do we just eat of the bread and drink the water and not really focus on what is important? We are to examine ourselves and focus on what we need to improve to become better disciples of Christ. That is my challenge to all of you is to in Sacrament meeting this week examine yourself and see how much more uplifting your Sabbath is.
God is good! I love being a missionary!
