The Sock Thief...Baptizing the Willing to Repent

Wow this last week was pretty long...it was a very busy week. 

First off, our friends, Mason and Sammy got baptized on Friday and Saturday! The baptisms and confirmation was so rad. Tons of people came and there were lots of treats and food after. It really felt like a "fiesta" as President Prier would say.

Here are some highlights from the week:

- Some guy asked us for a sock while we were walking around in the morning. Said he has found two socks so far, but they were all dirty... Idk what this guy was expecting. Not sure how you would just find a sock and have it be spotless clean

- I found out I will be going to Sunday afternoon General Conference! 

Overlooking the Salt Lake Valley 

- Knocked on a Polygamist house. There were seriously 10 kids that came to answer the door and they were all below the age of 10 or 12. It was crazy cuz we basically just knocked into them randomly and we felt bad because the mom's were super nervous to talk to us since it's illegal to do polygamy.

Me and Dodi's cat. It's not even real but it still makes noises and moves Haha. Robo-Cat

- Talked to tons of people in Spanish this week on exchanges. But one guy in specific was pretty drunk and I took his beer to throw away and swapped it for Coca Cola. 

Dinner with Dodi!! Been so long since I had seen him

- For one of the many exchanges this week, i got to go on exchanges with Elder Salaiau, so that was fun being back with him.

Elder Heywood backing me

- Some more of our friends we are teaching have decided they want to be baptized this month! 

- I was almost late to Sammy's baptism cuz I thought it was at 2pm, but it was actually at 1pm. So I didnt leave Rose Park until like 12:50 and had to speed over to the baptism. That's why I am not wearing a suit in the pics haha

Elder Heywood saying "goodbye"

- Listened to "I Had A Real Good Mother And Father" by the Lower Lights with this random guy from Africa named Oozman who only knows how to say "no", on the side of the road in a little park. 

Song of the Week:

- Down to the River to Pray by The Lower Lights. This song is a blessing! I have always liked this song and remember my mom playing it on Sunday mornings before church. 

Scripture of the Week:

- GENERAL CONFERENCE! If you don't know what this is, basically it is when the prophet of God and other apostles and people who are close with God speak to us. I promise if you go in with a questions and listen to all the speeches, then you WILL get an answer. Listen to it this week. Saturday and Sunday. I am so hyped. 

LOVE YOU!
