Howdy y'all!!!!
This week I hit my 18 month mark and time is flying by. Mission life is just normal life and I absolutely love it. I want it to slow down so that I can fully enjoy it. It's definitely the sunset time of my mission. I love being a servant for my Savior.
This week had so many blessings. To start off, about 7 months ago while I was serving in Huntsville I met a girl named Jaa'lah. We contacted her at Sam Houston State. We were able to teach her and even set a baptismal date with her but unfortunately she moved to College Station so we handed her off to the missionaries there. Unfortunately, they didn't do super good with her and she kinda disappeared. BUT a week ago I got a text from the elders there and they told me she recontacted them and was getting baptized this past weekend! I was able to pull off an exchange up to College Station this past weekend to be at her baptism. She bore a strong testimony and wow was my heart filled. Missionary work just fills us. The gospel just fills. I'm so thankful for my Savior.
Also, my boy Jeston got his mission call and leaves this Wednesday so we got to see him and say goodbye. He is such a stud and I'm so proud of him. It's been really awesome to see his progress and now he will go and influence so many others. What a blessing. We also had zone conference this past week and I loved seeing all the friends in the mission again.
We also set a date with Westin this past week!!!!!! He is so prepared. He told us that he already knows the Book of Mormon and church is true. He is solid beyond all means. He even drove an hour to go to a YSA conference this past weekend. It's amazing because Heavenly Father put him in our hands after so much prayer and fasting to find the elect. God is good. He always provides.
I love my Savior so much. I'm so thankful for Him and all He does. The mission is by far the best place. The gospel is just one of love and joy. I have a full cup and it runneth over. I'm so grateful. He leads and guides. I know this gospel is true and that Jesus is the Christ.
