This week was another blessing. I still love Texas and all the people here. We saw tons of miracles and I still love serving my Savior. I'm so happy to be here for the people and for my Heavenly Father.
On Sunday a family that I absolutely love got baptized and it was such a sweet experience. The Ahedo family is an elect family that I've been blessed to meet. Missions are worth every single second.
One night while out tracting we were able to meet a guy named Keith. My man is so prepared. We knocked into him at around 8:30 and ended up talking with him for a long time but it was super sweet. Anyways, we gave him a Book of Mormon and then were able to come back the next day. He had read a ton and had so many questions which was super sweet. When we went back he just soaked up everything. We taught about the Lehi's vision and how we need to stay on the right path. I love seeing everything click and the spirit come into his home. Being a missionary is so sweet. My favorite thing is definitely when the spirit hits someone and you can see a light come into their eyes. It's a special experience.
Our best friend Kayla is doing super good and is progressing well and is so excited for her baptism in a few weeks. She is so solid and ready to jump in. When we got to our lesson on Saturday she was so proud to tell us that she had already stopped drinking coffee on her own even though we hadn't taught her the Word of Wisdom yet. Yeah, she is pretty elect. God always does provide.
I had some cool revelation this week too. I've just been thinking a ton about how to make the gospel of Jesus Christ more of my focus. I have realized that in order to be happy we have to live like the Savior. SO my conclusion is that happiness and Joy comes from liking what God likes. When we do that we become happier. The redeeming love of our Savior comes as we become more like Him. Progression comes even without perfection. Thankful for a gospel and Savior that provides Joy.
Texas is my place. I'm the happiest I've ever been. I know the Savior and I know how special He is. I love my mission. Grateful for all I have.
Love y'all and God bless.
