Tuesday was MLC, and it was really fantastic. We learned
about how obedience is such an important principle to our lives, because that's
the only way we can enjoy the blessings of Heaven. We talked a lot about how
different kingdoms have different rules and laws, and we have to obey them to
be a part of the kingdom. So the Gospel is basically the laws of the Celestial
kingdom, and we have to learn to follow them here so that we can be comfortable
there. My favorite quote from the day was "As members of the Kingdom, it
is your right to see the King. But you have to obey the laws of the
Kingdom." Good food for thought :). It was fun to share it all with the
zone on Friday.
AND JOHN GOT BAPTIZED!! :D Saturday was awesome! John was
smiling ear to ear, and you could just feel how happy he was. The water was
this terrible green color though.... i'll see if we got a picture haha. So many
people came and it was beautiful! And John is super excited to get the gift of
the Holy Ghost this Sunday (we had to wait because Stake Conference was this
weekend >.<). Ah! The Gospel is just so good.
So yeah, Stake Conference was really good too! We got to see
President and Sister Dymock, they're the best! President saw us and spilled the
beans on our transfer calls, and Sister Mitchell and I are both staying here in
Potlatch and Moscow YSA! :D We are so, so excited! And Sis Cheney is going back
to Pullman YSA tomorrow, and her companion is going to be Sis Allen, who is a
girl I knew in highschool, and is from my home stake. I'm so excited, because
all the sisters in the zone are going to be fantastic, and we're going to hang
out all the time for dinners and stuff. I'm really excited to be able to go on
exchanges again, too. Haven't done that since I got to Moscow....
This week we also got to go out and see Jim in Potlatch!
He's the nicest old guy ever, and teaching him is so much fun. He often forgets
what we've talked about, so we go over a lot of things again. But his desire to
learn is so pure, and he loves when we come over and teach. He had this
terrible foot surgery though, and has this nasty pins sticking out of his toes.
We've hesitated to talk about baptism with him too much because he can't put
his foot in the water right now. BUT! he should be getting the pins out this
Wednesday! So Sister Mitchell and I had a mini eye-contact conversation, and
decided to ask him if he would like to get baptised before he goes to Alaska
this May. And.... He said yes!! :D He wants to get baptised May 6th, and we are
so pumped about it! Just have to figure out how to get him to church 3 times
before then.... but we think we can do it! I've been doing lots of praying for
him, and if it's Heavenly Father's will, things have a great way of working out
:).
Oh! And April 6th was Jesus' Birthday, and the anniversary
of the restoration of the church! So we made a chocolate cake and sang happy
birthday to Jesus. I'll have to send pictures next week.... haha oops. But it
was fabulous!
Anyways, super excited for the new week! I'm glad we get
another shot at Moscow, hopefully with no super weird events this time. Haha
it's nice to be in the same 2 areas this transfer, now we'll know some people
:).
I love you all! Keep on Keeping on! :)
