Our friend Kayla unfortunately wasn't able to get baptized due to some family opposition but things will work out. She was asked to meet with leaders of other Christian denominations to sway her faith. Well, it actually did the opposite because after the meeting she called us and said that her testimony was only stronger now. The truth is always the truth and that won't change. I love that this gospel allows us to have answers and that we don't have to just wonder. Truth is truth!!!
Other than that our week was pretty full of conferences and meetings. It was fun to see all the missionaries again.
We had a cool finding experience on Tuesday night while we were out at an apartment complex. We only had like 30 minutes until our next appointment so we rushed from door to door to talk with everyone. Anyways, we met a super cool guy named Lamar who gave us pizza and let us talk about Jesus. I love the south.
I also realized that a lot of the time we do things in the gospel like study the scriptures, serve, etc and to help ourselves grow, but in reality the very acts don't have us grow. The thing that helps us grow is acting in a way like the Savior. We grow when we become like Jesus Christ. Growth will come when we give part of ourselves to become more like the Savior. It's always growth season down here in Texas and I am so grateful for it. I love my Savior and I love this work. There's no where else I'd rather be.
Love y'all and God bless.
