WEEK 44: ITS RAINING MIRACLES HALLELUJAH ITS RAINING MIRACLES

Okay... well first of all, want to take this time to say how sorry I am for the family of Mason Taylor. Mason was one of the funniest, craziest, and fun-packed men I have ever met. Not gonna lie, it was a tearful time opening up my email today to find the sad news that he passed away this week. I am praying for the Taylor family and for all my friends and family who also are hurt by this terrible tragedy. He was a blessing in our lives and he will always be remembered. I am sure he´s enjoying life like crazy up in paradise. Love you, Mason.

PONDERIZING SCRIPTURES: well I forgot them... I´ll bring them next week.

TUESDAY: Had one of the best days of my mission thus far. We found 5 new investigators, and set a baptismal date with Rene, our legless contact that was sincerely a miracle and he is willing to do whatever it takes to change his life and come closer to Christ to be happy again. I cried feeling so much love for him. Had a super spiritual lesson with our other investigators who have plans to be baptized the 23rd and Minerva gave the most powerful prayer I´ve ever heard, and I think that was the moment when EVERYTHING changed for them. Now they are GOLDEN for us.

WEDNESDAY: In district meeting, planned our zone activity which will be a huge birthday party for me, Elder Dietz, Hermana Escalera, and Hermana Robertson AND it will be on the 4th of July. That´s pretty neat. Had intercambios with Hermana Bates, WHO I can promise is one of the funnest and coolest missionaries I have met on the mission. We connected a ton and had some pretty awesome lessons with the spirit. And shes from Colorado and knows some Fifitas. We contacted some kids in the street and told them we´d give them candy if they would show us where they live... probably the most terrible way that we both have ever contacted. Almost died laughing from the awkward phrase that left her mouth.

THURSDAY: Had an incredible lesson with Adrianna, an 18 year old who got baptized a month ago but has dropped going to church because her parents dont know she got baptized and they are SUPER catholic. Prayed for her before the lesson and showed up to have her come up with the idea for us to have dinner with them and break the news... pray for us that we dont die. But with faith, we know that this will be better than her lying to her parents about who she really is. Had a SUPER awesome coorelation meeting with the bishop´s counselor and our ward mission leader who have completely gained confidence in us and the miracles just keep coming. The members came with us to see Rene and all committed to help. WERE MAKING CHANGES

FRIDAY: Had wonderful interviews with President Stellmon and recieved permission to go to the temple for the sealing of the Bautista family! Im so excited and absolutely love how much this gospel has blessed others lives.

SATURDAY: Served the ward by helping out with the Father´s Day activity and brought with us 10 INVESTIGATORS. And they all loved it. Minerva, Alvaro, and Pablo all came and everyone flocked to them and they all want to go to the temple and come to church. MIRACLES, Rene came (thanks to the members) and other people just walked in interested in what it was that we were doing. Contacted and set more appointments. MIRACLESSS.

SUNDAY: Church was rewarding as after the ward activity, the bishop invited us to ward council to stay the whole time (which for their ward never happens) and we planned the ward mission activity (we´re doing a PIONEER DAY) and won all the leaders confidence and all of them are on board to help with the 4 baptisms we have coming up. VERY EXCITED and VERY DRIVEN to help this ward and this area. Ended the day teaching the Restoration at our golden converts who give us 40 references every time we go because they just want EVERYONE to have the gospel. Love them.

Okayyyy well, once again, I know its hard for a lot of you right now and its going to be a little hard for me right now in the mission, but just know that the plan of salvation is real. Mason is okay. And we are ALL going to see him again. Praying for all of you and just know, tomorrow will be a better day.
