Subjects Are Hard

    How's everyone doing?!? For real, if there's anyone who's having a hard time right now, shoot me an email. You'll be in my prayers!


    Anyways this we week was awesome! Let's get into it 


      So last pday was solid! I got to FaceTime my parents in the morning and then we played a ton of basketball since it's around 20-27 degrees here now. When it gets really hot apparently people don't like to play. I'm still tryna hoop no matter what though hahaha. But yeah we got to see a few other Elders which was fun!


    Tuesday we had such a cool experience. We were finding in one of our areas and when we knocked on this one house, a member came out. We were kinda surprised since he lives like 15 minutes away from here and soon figured out he is dating the lady who lives there!! We got invited in and were able to talk with here for a little bit. After about 10 minutes she was crying and explaining how her children don't want to talk to her because she's dating a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Listening to her just broke my heart. She's the sweetest women. We offered to give a priesthood blessing. After the blessing she was so grateful and it was so tender.


    We did alot of finding on wednesday. When I say we did a lot of finding unfortunately that doesn't mean we actually found alot of people, we did find like 3 though! So that was good. But mostly just alot of walking. Still so so good. 


     Thursday we had DCM and were able to have some crazy good lessons. We were able to teach an older lady that morning. She speaks Enlgish too!! I was able to teach and testify in a way I usually don't get to here. It really does feel amazing to testify of Jesus Christ every day. Take every opportunity each day to bare witness of him!


     Friday was a solid day of. We had 3 lessons and did some community relationship building.  We were walking by a basketball court and challenged these guys to a game. We said if we won they had to come to church, we beat them of course. And....... they didn't come to church.


    Saturday was differenttttt. We walked like 18 km that day. It was so good. We invited like 40 people to church. We were praying all day that at least one person could come. I guess we shall seeeeee


    Sunday. Oooooh Sundayyyyy. It was so GOOOOD!! Alright you guys. Our prayers were answered. One of our investigators came!!!! His name is Justine!( he almost has the best name ever). Just kidding just kidding hahaha. But for real he's a stud. He came through the gate to the church and I literally started hopping around I was so happy. Then I stopped in fear of scaring him off. We got him here, ain't no way I'm scaring him off by acting weird hahaha. So goooood. He had a great time and we hope he'll come with us again next week!


Scripture of the week


3 Nephi 19:25 


 25 And it came to pass that Jesus blessed them as they did pray unto him; and his countenance did smile upon them, and the light of his countenance did shine upon them, and behold they were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness, yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof.


   This verse makes my heart so happy!! I Wrote a little note in the margin. " Jesus smiles when we pray". I promise you all He really does. Prayer is a gift to be used repeatedly. It was given to us for the purpose of communication with our loving Father in Heaven. 


   Love you all so so much! I'll send the gifts in different emails!


Peace

A Short One

Hey everyone!! Today's been a bit busy so I'm just going to give a little spiritual thought. Spiritual Thought  Helaman 14:31   31 He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you.    I testify of the joy of daily restoration. Through repentance and the atonement of Jesus Christ, we can all choose to have the good restored unto us. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know He loves me. And I know He loves each and every one of you. I love all of you! Peace Elder  Baker

At Zone Con I actually felt pretty decent, which was a tender mercy 100%. We got a ride home from the APs which was so fun. They are a wild couple o' Elders haha. But I do look up to them a ton. They are studs.      Wednesday was so awesome. We were applying some of the things we l...
