So we're in September. Unbelievable. Haha. No seriously, that freaks me out.
But anyways. Yes! Lake Powell! Hands down, I'm a million times in. So much better than Hawaii. But it needs to literally be the Monday after I get home oyo?
So this week was different. My comp and I were sick half the week so that was rough. But a cool thing happened this week, that I'm just hoping and hoping will turn out to be real. So on Friday, I don't remember what we did but it was a lot of wasted time and I was real upset when we walked in the house in the night because we didn't contact anyone. So I made a promise that day that never again would I enter a house without contacting someone. Never. And so Saturday we did service for a sister and while we were waiting, I was like heck no, and went to contact and we contacted a guy named Juan Jose, who is 23 and he said we could pass by Sunday.. well we called him, and he was all for it. Told us to come over and we went and he is awesome! His wife, a little boy, and him just moved out of his moms house to start his life with his fam and have a little apartment. Elder Paiz and I had one of the strongest 1st lessons of "How to Begin Teaching" with inspired questions and it was amazing. I'm kinda tired of all the fake families that I think are the ones but I will never lose my hope! These are the ones. Familia Munoz. While he prayed, I just kept thinking of how they would be the first time in the Temple. That's all I want to see. All I want. With the other fam I was talking about, we haven't been able to talk to them and they're being strange so that stunk. We'll see though.
Not much else happened because we were sick, but just wanted to bear my testimony about the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know it with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind that the Church of Jesus Christ was restored through the Prophet Joseph Smith. And thanks to him we now have the priesthood keys on this earth. I personally think without a basic testimony of that knowledge we cannot use the Atonement of Jesus Christ as it can and should be used. Without those priesthood keys, there is no effect to our Baptism. Without those keys we wouldn't be able to participate in the sacrament every week and learn more about the Savior and His sacred sacrifice. I have my testimony of Jesus Chirst and His atonement because of the restoration. I know the Prophet Joseph Smith saw the Father and the Son and nothing in this world can take away my conviction that he was the prophet of the restoration.
I love my mission. I love this work.
This week I'm thankful for meta-knights and their shop, for rest, the rain, wood carvings, my ma, my comp, Elder Andrade and district meetings, the Bible, the Book of Mormon, church, the spirit and his role in teaching, funny dinners, beans, rice, and tortillas, andddd a fridge!
