Hey everyone! It was such a great week here, and this week is going to be fantastic too!! :)
Ma. is getting baptized this weekend! We finished teaching her lesson 4 last week. F. is getting baptized this weekend, too! She decided Friday night that she wants to be baptized December 15th. She's learned the lessons, been coming to church and is keeping commitments, so nothing stopping her! It was funny, because when we gave her a chapel tour she mentioned that the baptismal font was a huge waste of water and that we should baptize loads of people whenever we fill it. When she said she wanted to be baptized on the 15th I chuckled and told her that we would be complying with her request of baptizing multiple people when filling the font! She's so excited. We watched the Testaments with her. She loved it! The adversary was fighting hard to keep it from happening, but in the end, all his distractions ended up being a blessing in disguise. She's awesome and we're excited for her!
Mi. came to church as usual; we also had a lesson with him and a member this week. We watched the First Presidency Christmas devotional with T.
J. came to the Christmas party this Saturday. It's fun teaching her. She reminds me of Mom, as Mom joined the Church when she was 15. It's kind of fun! So much happens every day. I love it, and I love teaching.
Other highlights include the Shawn Bradley fireside. Elder Bham, Shawn told me to tell you that he was 6'8" in 8th grade! How crazy is that?!
We have our Christmas devotional this week in Dublin, and a training in Reynoldsburg as well. It's going to be a busy and great week!
I studied discipleship a lot during my personal studies this week. Elder Holland's talk from this past conference makes me want to be even better at finding and teaching his Sheep. He entrusts so much to us, and I know that I'm not using all of my talents/gifts to their full capacity. It takes discipline...thus the term disciple! :) I love the words of the prophets. They lead us to Christ.
Love you all! Keep me posted of your comings and goings! Thanks to all who've already sent Christmas cards! I love them and hang them on my wall! :)
