So
i am seriously at a loss what to tell you guys because this week was so
fast and so good! So I'll just tell you about the b's of this last
week:
baptisms
bosnian
broadcast
and maybe some other things that have nothing to do with the letter b.
BAPTISM
-NURDIN
AND NAZA GOT BAPTIZED!!! and it was so great. The spirit was there,
they were there (kind of an important part), they were excited, and
everyone's heart was so happy!!! After they got baptized Naza was
talking to us and she said, in very broken english "i know i made the
right choice." Teaching them really has been a huge blessing and
highlight of my mission. They were so prepared to hear the gospel.
Really though, they're one of those families that Heavenly Father has
been preparing for years! This past week we taught them about temple and
eternal families, and with tears in their eyes they told us that they
want to be an eternal family. (who wouldn't want to live with their
family forever in the presence of God?)
-one of our
investigators is sososososososo close to getting baptized! no seriously,
like she asked us if she could get baptized this next saturday. so keep
praying that the people here will be lead to the gospel because she is
definitely receiving inspiration to get baptized soon! We have been
working with her for a longgg time. months and months. and she won't
ever set a solid date.. but yesterday she told us she might want to this
weekend! so it could happen! it would definitely be a miracle, but i
don't doubt that she could feel ready and all the preparations could be
done this week. keeeep prayin'!!!!
BOSNIANS
-so
this one isn't spiritual or anything but i'm just here to tell you guys
that bosnians make the best dessert. we brought a huge bosnian dessert
to district meeting. it was a hit.
BROADCAST
-on
Saturday we got to go to the mission home for dinner and then to the
broadcast with Sister Morgan! I forgot my notes but i remember three
major things from the broadcast.
1. The temple is God's
house here on the Earth. They contain light and truth. And as children
of God we contain light and truth. Our bodies are literally temples of
God, we must do allll we can to keep them clean physically and
spiritually. I love the temple, and i love how all of what happens
inside reflects our Heavenly Father, just like how our homes reflect who
we are!
2. Our actions reflect our priorities. This one
stuck out to me a lot because i feel like i'm constantly trying to put
the Lord first in my life, i haven't always done this and i'm no where
near perfect at it. But I'm grateful for the things that i've learned
that have changed my priorities over the past 8 months.
3.
Heavenly Father is constantly pouring His blessing out to us, but we
often have umbrellas of doubt, fear, or pride that keep us from
receiving these blessings.
This week was a good
one and this coming week is going to be super great because of.....*drum
roll*..........GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!! if only i had emoji's,
then i might be able to convey how excited i am. No seriously, it's
going to be awesome. okay i'll be serious now, i really encourage all of
you who are going to watch it to have a question in your heart as you
do so. Something one of these inspired speakers will say will be what
Heavenly Father wants you to hear. i promise.
I love you
all and love all the support you give me. Thank you for being the family
that you are and helping me even when we're 2,000orsomething miles
away. I don't know if you guys know how much you help. i love you all
sososo much!
