Happy August 19th y'all!! Yet again it was a blessed week in Texas. Life is good and God is even better. I'm thankful for my Savior and for the grace He offers me every single day. Jesus is the Savior and God is our loving Heavenly Father.
On Saturday, Beau and Mia were baptized!! They are the sweetest kids ever too. Their family recently moved into our ward and started coming back to church. We love them so much, they are just an awesome family. The baptism went great, lots of members came and even most of the extended family came. Baptisms are such a sacred experience that it makes all you do as a missionary worth it. After being around them and seeing the impact they have they've truly become my favorite part of a mission. The power of the promises we make and the cleansing that comes is unreal. God is true and his authority is evident. Grateful for the knowledge I have of his atoning power.
We also had a cool experience last night. We had dinner with an awesome family in our ward and at the end we had them pick to streets to go knocking on. We prayed and they picked the streets. We even took their 17 year old son with us. It was a blast and we even were able to teach some of the people we knocked into. The coolest part was that the son loved it. We even tracted into someone he knew from his high school. God is a God of miracles.
I read a quote this week from Dallin H Oaks that says "The healing and strengthening power of Jesus Christ and His Atonement is for all of us who will ask". I know this is true. I know Jesus Christ will heal all of us if we ask. I have seen Him heal broken hearts, souls, and lives. He truly is the greatest of all. Our Lord, Our God.
I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to learn and become like Him. All that I am is because of all He has given me. This gospel is true and this work is His. We are all in the hands of the greatest potter alive, let him mold us to what we can become. Thankful and grateful.
Love y'all and God Bless.
