Let Us Go After Him

 Hey everyone!! I'm at the hospital right now with my companion, waiting for him to get a check up. I finally have some time to write a quality email..... hopefully ya'll take something from it! Also, I appreciate the emails ya'll are sending my way! I really enjoy reading them. Alright, let's get into the week!!



    Tuesday. Great day. We got to teach quite a few lessons and over all just had a good day

    Wednesday was a bit of an interesting day. We unfortunately needed to go to the hospital to get one of our companions an Xray for his ankle. We are in a trio right now for clarification. It took around 3 hours of waiting, but finally he got to see the doctor for whole 3 minutes, and figured out it was nothing. We're definitely glad he's okay though. The rest of the day we were able to teach a few really good lessons and then had dinner with the Waymans!! 
 
     We had interviews with Presidant Cobing on Thursday! As Zone Leaders, we had to stay at the church all day while the other missionaries were having their interviews! I got to meet a super dope new Elder from Flordia, Elder Roberts. It was fun to talk with him for a bit. My interview was great. Always nice to connect with President Cobing. We went back out after and grinded out some lessons. 

     Friday and Saturday was lots of finding. We went to some of our farther areas and had some help from some members too!! It was super fun to find with them actually. This one nanay would just walk into her friend'ls houses and say " hey I brought the missionaries ". Effective and efficient finding. It was awesome haha. We met the sweetest grandma who just got home from working in spain for 24 years. Nanay Rosie. Love her. We're going to go back to her this week!!

     Sunday was great! We had friends come to church and got to meet with the stake president as well! We had a super cool experience right before our curfew too. We were going home to home close to the church. We were trying to talk to a lady at her gate but she wasn't sounding like she was interested, all of a sudden this guy comes up behind us and said " what are the requirements for me to go to church with the mormons? I wanted to come to your church earlier but it looked like everyone was rich so I got nervous." When the lady we were talking to heard this, she said to me, "actually, I've been looking for the church of the living God ". I didn't know if she was talking about a church with that name or just the true church of Jesus Christ. So I asked if she meant the true church. She said yes! So I talked to her while the other Elders talked to the other guy hahaha. So so cool!! 



Spiritual Thought 

“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

Matt 16:24

    I know that all of us have certain trials to bear and sacrifices to make each day of our lives. I also know that the whole reason that we were given life, is so that through these trials and sacrifice's, we can become more like our Savior Jesus Christ. We come to understand the deepness of His atoning sacrifice as we "take up" our individual crosses, and follow Him.


Peace 

Elder Baker

    Hey ya'll! Honestly, this week was a hard week. But, hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have a couple things that I don't think I would have realized or attributed to God were it not for the struggle! Lets get into the week!     So we started off the week with two exchanges! Which means we as leaders have another companionship come to our area and we show them how we are having success and also to learn from them!! I learned a ton from both of them. They are both great Elders. We were able to teach sister Mardel and find a lot of new friends!!     The rest of the week was super interesting. We tried to do what we usually do and just go to all of our friends in one day, but literally no one was available. We felt like we were getting very little work done. On Saturday we were traveling around the Zone doing baptismal interview's! Which is ( in hindsight ) a blessing. At the time we were worried about not be able to work in our area. But. We are so bl...
