B-dubs And Baptisms

Sheesh well lots has happened these last two weeks! 

First the bad news. Our friend max who was so cool and so elect called us up last week and said he didn't want to get baptized and meet with us anymore. So prayers up for max that he finds his way back to us!! We still have contact with him but I think someone showed him anti. Devil works hard but we work harder! 

Great news is our friend Kelly is gonna get baptized this Saturday!! She's been coming to church the last couple of weeks and we took her to see a baptism. After that she wanted to be dunked too! Let's go!!! Mostly bc she wanted it to get it done before Elder Wolthuis dips for the Netherlands! So we meeting with her like 3 times thus week before the baptism! So hopefully it goes good prayers up for Kelly!

I love my brostrict bc after anyone in the district has a baptism we go to B-dubs and get some wings! Haha! Which is crazy bc we have a baptism like once a week in this district haha! It's crazy

A pretty crazy experience we had this week was we got a call on Saturday from a member in NorCal. She wanted us to go visit and give a priesthood blessing to her nephews daughter who was a little baby in the hospital. This poor 1 and a half year old was super sick and was in NICU. Such an adorable little family and they were so sweet and humble and grateful that we came to give a priesthood blessing to their baby. I honestly never felt so inadequate giving a priesthood blessing to anyone but the spirit was so so strong! The family was crying and they didn't even know anything about the church but the spirit was so strong. I'm grateful for the priesthood and the privilege I have to hold it and bless others with it! God is Good! 

This week I've been just reflecting a lot about this great work I'm apart of! And thinking of what more I can put on the altar as I come to the last 4ish months of my mission. I've just felt a sense of the lords desires to have EVERYONE come to his fold. The lord desires us. It doesn't mean everyone we meet needs to become members of the restored church. But just spreading the light of christ through service and actions of love is enough! I know we all can do more! Especially me! God loves you all! And so do I!

Hey Everyone! Just checking back in after an amazing weekend of REVELATION! I love General Conference and the inspiring messages! I hope you were all able to tune in at some point and if you couldn't watch it watch it rn! The prophets voice is so powerful! After hearing his address there was a little bit of a sense that the second coming of christ is coming A LOT sooner than we may think! But also big news! A NEW TEMPLE IN QUEEN CREEK! I literally called it! Great to see the old hometown getting a house of the lord!  Besides conference this week was a good one! We had zone conference and it was focused on using the scriptures while teaching the doctrine of christ! So many scriptures that I wrote down!! Also this week in Oakland has been HOTTT. it's been getting up to 100 degrees in the bay which is unusual here. Usually I wouldn't complain. Bc I'm an AZ kid but when you live in the top apartment with no AC it's a bummer!  Anyways a crazy miracle is our new friend Co...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  This week was so fast but it was a good one lots of miracles! A cool miracle was we met an innactive member earlier this week and we just had dinner with her tonight and gave her a blessing and she's coming to church this week! It was a miracle because we were tracting and happened to knock on her door she was so happy to see us and almost started crying! Just goes to show the lord truly guides us missionaries!  Our friend Christopher didn't end up getting baptized this weekend. Everything is OK though he is still going to get baptized just needs more time understanding things and we are having daily contacts with him to help him! He's just come so far from where he used to be and he's going to continue to grow because that's one of the blessings that comes from the atonement and something that can truly change us when we use it. Only the purest joys can come through sincere repentance! I just love Christopher let's all pray I don't...
