Week 39 Heat Wave

It has been so hot and humid this week and it's not okay, everyone here says it's a heat wave

I don't think there was anything huge this week, but it was good. We made plans for David baptism which is this Friday, so exciting!

We had a lesson with David on Tuesday and we had the opportunity to have his cousin join in! (His distant cousin) 

But it was a very cool experience because, his cousin, is a missionary serving in Spain, and so we had both him and his companion. We all testified of the blessings of obedience and the power of Spirit that was in that lesson was so tangible. The Spirit that missionaries have is real!

We have lessons with a returning member and she is amazing! She shared her testimony with us a few times this week and she said, "when you are so full of joy, you just want to share it. But you forget to sit down and listen." she was talking about her experience right after she got baptized, compared to now after having been inactive and coming back. She talked about the JOY she felt when we joined the church and how much love she had for it. She wanted to share it, but she also didn't take the time to continue growing her testimony and eventually, she began having doubts and went away for a little bit. Now, having come back, the joy she feels is even greater because she is taking the time to study every day and learn all about the truths of the Gospel. And because she is doing that, her capacity to share the Gospel is more than before because of her stronger testimony.

Its a testimony to me of the importance of daily scripture study and prayer. 

We taught a lesson this week about CPR. Not the life saving CPR, but the soul saving CPR. C stands for Church, P stands for Prayer, and R stands for reading (or repentance). If you feel weak or you start to have doubts and feel your faith weakening, I promise you, as a representative of Jesus Christ, if you do those 3 things, that you will feel your faith increase, you will have more joy, and your capacity to endure through trials with will be strengthened.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Love you all!

We didn't take very many pictures this week

But here is a quote that I really like
