My 1st Baptism!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a great week! This week was overall pretty good!

An awesome miracle we saw while visiting formers is we got in contact with one but he said he was too busy to meet anytime soon so we gave him a card, told him to reach out when he's available, and went on our way. A few hours later while street contacting he calls us! We were able to have a good conversation and lesson over the phone. Hopefully we will be able to meet this week. 🤞

Thursday I was just having an off day. Little things were making me stressed and things were just not going as planned. Then we got bashed at Chick Fil E, rip. But there were tender mercies throughout and now I just laugh looking back at it. Prior to getting bashed we talked to a super nice lady at a grocery store and had an awesome lesson with one of our new members. It was after I got my "pick me up" ice cream cone that we got bashed. Let's just say we tried to be nice cause we know what it's like when you're trying to share your beliefs with others but when he started hating on the Book of Mormon I politely shut him down and told him to have a nice day. Afterwards Sister Erickson and I laughed about what we could have said and continued our night.

Friday we had some awesome lessons! One was with a friend who isn't interested in converting but he was so respectful and we had an awesome conversation and lesson with him. 

Our other lesson was SO good! This friend came upon some anti but rather than allowing it to scare himself off he came to us for clarifications! We then taught him the restoration and at the end he asked us what it would mean if he thought The Book of Mormon was true. We told him that he would need to decide if he wants to work towards baptism. This week we are going to see if we can put him On Date!

Saturday was so good! It was warm so we were able to do comp study outside and it's was just the best! We had a lesson with one of our other new members and got to have dinner with one of my favorite families.

SUNDAY!!!! John F's baptism happened!!! This was my first baptism so I was STRESSED! Luckily I followed the council of past companions and brought an extra towel because he did forget one lol. He was so happy after and it was so awesome!

For pday today we're mostly running errands so it's gonna be a fun day.

Spiritual thought: In the talk,  "Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help You!" By President Nelson he says, 

"The decision to serve a mission will shape the spiritual destiny of the missionary, his or her spouse, and their posterity for generations to come."

This isn't only applicable to missionaries but every member of the church. As we are faithful and do all we can to follow Christ, God will bless and help our loved ones stay rooted to him. He does this because he loves us and is aware of our efforts.

Love you all!
