Well this week was prolly one of the littest of the mission
so far. It's weird cuz honestly it was a grind but so sick at the same time.
Elder Murdoch my MTC comp came up here from Harlingen for 3 days so we were on
an exchange together for the whole time. It was so stinkin fun. every day
literally felt like I woke up and hit the pillow again to fall asleep in 2
seconds. they just flew. after that on Thursday we had MLC and elder Murdoch
got transferred to be a zone leader in Brownsville. we gave a training on
stewardship. right after MLC I grabbed my bags and went on an exchange up to
Laredo with my boy Elder Gardner. gotta sleep two nights up there and we also
had a blast. it was honestly super fun. we prossed right along the border of
Mexico and it was nuts. took a pic right on the Rio Grande (the river that
separates Mexico from the US.) almost all of my areas have been on the river
but this was the first time I've really been right right by it. took some pics.
after the exchange we taught some lessons. honestly since I've been in this
area we hadn't been able to work as much and when we did get to work we were
finding people but just something wasn't clicking. we were teaching people but
we just couldn't get them to turn the corner and accept a baptismal date. Well,
yesterday was fast Sunday and boy is it such a blessing to be able to fast.
just express your concerns to God. and seriously I have such a strong
testimony. sometimes he answers quick sometimes slow but yesterday we really
just had an amazing day after church. we were able to set a baptismal date with
a lady elder Murdoch and I started teaching on our exchange named Maria for
August 18th. after that we headed to the Salinas families house and they
accepted baptismal dates for the 18th of August also. I just feel like really
God is in control of everything out here and in life.
spiritual thought:
Ephesians 2:19-20
tell me of any other church that has prophets and
apostles
Galatians 2:9
and a first presidency (three pillars)
luke 10:1
tell me of any other church that has a seventy
acts 6:2-3
tell me of any other church that has a presidency of the
seventy
acts 14:23
name the number of churches that have elders in them
1 Timothy 3:1-5
and bishops in their church
Hebrews 7:11
AND claims to have the priesthood and authority of
God.
there's only one. did it say anywhere in the bible that
these things shouldn't exist anymore after Christ's death? no, because God is
the same yesterday, today, and forever. it's the true church.
Matthew 21:43
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be
taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
thanks to the restoration of the gospel, we have all
of this back on the earth.
have a good week!!!
