Making Covenants With the Lord

What's up friend and family! This last week went by really fast, but also I can barely remember last pday. We had lots of exchanges this week and also got to work in our area quite a bit, which was super nice.

Here are a few things that happened this week:

 Waiting forever at the doctor's office 

- Had my follow Dr. appointment for my surgery. The doctor was honestly super lame and not very nice, but he said I am looking good and healing well

- MLC (Mission Leader Council) went really well and we had tons of great discussions. Our trainings went pretty well, and we have been studying a lot about our power and authority as missionaries recently

- An old man tried to hit us with his car on exchanges. We were right by temple square and then crossed the road. Then this dude revved his engine and sped up and swerved to try to hit us. He missed tho 

 FHE/YSA activities

- Had some jam sessions on a mini basketball hoop

- The Homer kids got baptized too! Patrick and Olivia are super funny people and now their sister Caira is wanting to get baptized too! Sadly I didn't get to go and watch their baptism tho:( 

the Bloss fam

I also got the chance to go back and visit my last area to watch the Bloss family get baptized! They are such a great example to me. I was gone for a lot of the time Elder Ely and Elder Nogueira got to teach them, but the times I got to talk and teach them, it was such a spiritual experience. We had been praying a lot to be able to find God's children who are prepared to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized. 

Temple with Elder Jeppson, before he leaves to Peru

Temple with Elder Scott and Elder Canty 

Ohhh and we went to the temple today! Such a great experience every time. Pretty cool that I got to be reminded of the covenant of baptism and the covenants we make in the temple this last week. 

Song of the Week:

- I'll Fly Away by The Lower Lights

Scripture of the Week:

- Amos 8:11-12 (The Old Testament). God knew that there would be an apostasy...the Restoration is an example of God's love for YOU and ME. He cares about us and wants us to come back to live with Him again. 

11 ¶ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a ^afamine of bread, nor a ^bthirst for water, but of hearing the ^cwords of the Lord:

12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall ^arun to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.

Much Love,
