Then, we baptized Gage the 9th! The sisters taught him everything and
we just set up the baptism! It was so great! Elder Hayes had to conduct he was
super nervous but did a great job! The bishop baptized him and then I CONFIRMED
HIM! That was crazy awesome experience I'm sure more to come!
My companion still doesn't know how to ride a bike😂 he flipped
himself over the handle bars but caught himself so didn't get scraped up or
anything! He did it in front of a member and the member was like I'll take your
bike down to the shop and fix it! So now his bike is all tricked out and super
nice! Some blessings hurt
We had district sports last Monday and we were playing 3-3! I try to
stay away from getting to competitive but I slipped up and yammed one! My team
mate shot it and I jumped got the rebound in air and basically "Blake Griffened"! All the elders just screamed and ran around the gym! I stood there
like did I just do that? And later I got a rebound and my elbow caught a team
mates head! So injured a missionary first p-day... Great😅
Sunday we had church with both wards! Finally got to meet
everyone because of general conference last week! 6 hours of church😂😂 every
Sunday😂😂😂 oh yeah! The ward mission statement is awesome "For behold this is our work and glory-to
share the joys, the blessings, and knowledge of the gospel with our fellow men"
just loved that Oasis Park is wanting to do missionary work so much! Sam,
someone we are teaching, is a golden investigator just have to teach him 3-4
more lessons and he set himself for baptism Nov 7th! So looking forward to
teaching him tonight! Awesome guy! He has been coming to church for a month
now!
Had my first zone training! That was super spiritual! We talked about
conquistadors coming to raid the Incas gold and he told his captains to burn the
ships (3)! The only way we are getting back is on their ships! Yeah they killed
a whole civilization but I need to burn my ships holding me back from becoming
the missionary Heavenly Father needs and wants me to become so I can receive the
blessings he wants to give me in this life and the next!
Friday we got iPads!!!!! So nice! All I really use it for is Mormon
messages and emails though! I'd rather read from the book then the iPad it helps
me learn the scriptures more!
Elder Hayes is my companion and trainer! He is a great guy from a rough
background! He is from Texas and is the hardest working person I've met on my
mission! He can't ride a bike but he can start up a conversation with anyone and
teach them about the gospel! Knows the scriptures so well and rebukes me through
them all the time. I mean ALL the time😅😂
If you wanna send me mail the address is: 9270 south
Maryland parkway Las Vegas, NV 89123
This week has been amazing over all! Got my bike fixed! Had my first
convert baptism! Confirmed my first investigator! Learning how to street
contact! This mission has blessed my life so much and I'm only coming up on a
month! I know that this church is true! I know that the atonement is for anyone
willing start out with an ounce of faith and build to a firm, unmoving
foundation! That we need to read our scriptures everyday and read them with a
purpose! Pray to our Heavenly Father and ask for guidance and confirmation! And
if we do these small things it will lead us to being baptized by the proper
authority of God and relieving eternal happiness! I love everyone in my area!
Even the people that say no or disagree! I am so grateful for this opportunity
to serve a mission and for the examples set for me by my siblings, missionaries
back home, and by most of all my Mom! I'm going to continue to strive towards
coming closer to Christ and spreading his gospel to help people understand that
only true happiness comes through believing in Christ and following his example!
And I say these things in his name, even Jesus Christ amen.
