Yessirrrrrr! You already know though! You only serve once, thats motto so baptize them to follow! AYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! GET IT!!! Haha
Yup, this past week was a great week! Had my first baptism saturday and found out that im staying in Aurora for another transfer. We also set another baptism yesterday and are currently leading our zone in numbers! BOIIIIIIII!!!! I DO IT!!!!!! ...well, we do it. Elder Decker helps, a lot. But Still... Heres my week :)
Tuesday July 31st: Taught Isabella the hardest and most awkward lesson you ever teach to kids...The Law of Chastity.... .__. Awkward city man. Haha We got lucky though we had talked to her dad Andy the sunday before that we were teaching her and asked him to help us out...he did :) Haha So, we taught a low key version that had enough knowledge for a 9 year old. Thank you Brother Moss for making it a lot less awkward haha. After we hung out with them because Brother Moss is a less active member and Matt came over cause hes his home teacher and we just talked and hung out for a little bit till dinner. Good Tuesday.
Wednesday August 1st: YAY!!!! HAPPY FIRST OF AUGUST! Suckas gotta go back to school ;) Anyways...we had a district meeting with another District in a different zone because we dont have a district to meet with. It was a pretty good time. Had some spiritual uplifting and then headed over to the Chesterfield Elders apartment and had a TACO PARTY!!! AHHHHHHHHRIBAH!!!....or something like that... :D Shout out to all my Spanish Speaking Lost Boys haha. After that we headed over to Matt and Lauras for some din din and some quality family bonding time.
Thursday August 2nd: Woke up and got some weekly planning did then we were supposed to meet with Paul and Beth at noon but out ride bailed on us, 20 minutes before our appointment with them. It takes a good 35 minutes to get to they're place so....yeah no big deal. -__- so we ended up getting there an hour and a half late cause we walked...LIKE A BOSSSSS SON :) no, it was 105 degrees out that day but hey, for they're eternal salvation, im willing to make that sacrifice...haha :) The lesson went very well. We went over The Law of Chastity....A lot less awkward when you teach it to a 50 year old married couple haha. After we came home and did some personal and companionship study and dinner to end the night.
Friday August 3rd: So, i woke up this morning with a very odd feeling to go out and tract but not knock on any doors. So...how do you do that? We went out around our neighborhood for about 2 and a half hours and put Pass Along Cards, Restoration, Plan of Salvation and The Gospel of Jesus Christ Pamphlets, and Family Proclamation pamphlets on everyones doors. They all had our numbers on it and we'll see how ends up...nothing has resulted because of it yet but hey, the prophet said, "No effort wasted" :) Later that day we taught the Harringtons. It was a great lesson. We're working with them to see and recognize the spirit through the book of mormon and following the prophet. They are being baptized on October 27th.
Saturday August 4th: We had Sam's baptism today! It was sooooo dope. Such an emotional and spiritual day. He was baptized by one our members. His mom and sister spoke on the Holy Ghost and Baptism. The crazy thing is this kid is the biggest spaz and off the wall but the reverence he showed after he was baptized was...wow. It felt like i was sitting next to a brand new person. It was amazing. After his baptism, we cleaned the church with The Sharpe's, a member family from our ward. Then we had dinner with the Alms while we waited for transfer calls. As i said, im not getting transferred. :) Decker was pretty ticked off...GET OVER IT.. haha
Sunday August 5th:We confirmed Sam one the newest member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was awesome! Sacrament went well and after church we began the new member or "Recent Convert" lessons with Sam. Went over the restoration. Then we went to Matt and Laura's and hung out till we had dinner at the Sharpe's. After that dinner we taught Rocky Bain. He was having a problem with "If Heavenly Father loved us so much, his 'Children' why would he want to damn us?" Yeah...we answered that for him and he committed to baptism on the spot :) August 18th boiiiii!
So, that was my week. Im going to be here in Aurora till at least the end of September so im going to be able to see 4-5 more baptisms before i leave :) Theres only been 3 baptisms in Aurora History. I cant wait :)
I learned some very unfortunate news this last week. My prayers are with all of you; Travis, Brian, Tyler, Ryan and Sherry. I love all of you so much. Shelly, i love you more than you could ever know. You have been such a close friend that I've always seen you as my own mother. I am forever grateful for all that you've done for me.
Till Next Time
