There Is A Green Hill Far Away

Hey everyone! Today's email is going to be a little different. It'll be more highlight style! 


Highlights


We had Zone interviews! 

Zone Conference as well! 

We extended baptism to Brother Harvey 

We biked 13 km one day this week 

Got to present Linking Arms to all of the Branch Presidents!

So many friends came to church! Unfortunately we weren't able to get a picture with all of them but we love them so so much 


    It was a pretty action packed week which I'm very grateful for. I did get a bit sick though which was unfortunate. The work pressed on though. We are so blessed in our area. We really try to implement everything thing we are taught by our mission president. He truly is called of God. He's also such a joker. We love President Cobing. 


    I do want to share one miracle that we saw as a companionship this past week. In Zone Conference, President Cobing challeneged us to choose 10 streets as a companionship, then each companion will mentally choose 3 streets from the already chosen 10. Then the companionship will see if they are the same. We were promised that if we exercised faith, we would see miracles. We chose to do it immediately. My companion and I ended up having 1 out of our 3 streets the same. That's where we found. We found 2 people that were so prepared to hear the gospel!! I'm so greatful for the gift on ongoing revelation that we can experience in our lives!


Spiritual Thought


Hymn 194, verse 3


3.There was no other good enough

To pay the price of sin.

He only could unlock the gate

Of heav’n and let us in.


    I just want to share my simple testimony that Christ did pay for all sins. Repentance was the resulting gift. Infinite repentance is ours to use. Once we do, we no longer need to be weighed down. Through the enabling power of Christ's sacrifice, we move on and become. Becoming is what this life is all about. I challenge all of you to become ready.


Peace


Elder Baker

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

I love reading them no matter the content hahaha the more random, the better the laugh I get. So feel free!! Anyways, my past week was great but very fullll! Lets get into it!     Tuesday we had Zone Conference which was 2 hours away. We had to wake up at 5 in the morning and ride in a jeepny. I was still somewhat sick on tuesday so that ride killed me. 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...
