'Twas a good week.
Joseph (aka Joe) was baptized and received the gift of the Holy Ghost this weekend. It was sweet! :) He was so excited and happy. Soaking it all in. Too bad he's actually moving at the end of this week to go to Mt. Vernon. Stinks. But that's okay. He's a champ. He is so tall I was praying the hole time that he'd go all the way under the water. My prayer was answered. I was able to play guitar/sing at it so that was a privilege. It was just a really spiritually uplifting day for sure.
Later that day we sweated to death as we helped someone stain their fence in the heat of the day. It was pretty good. We got to wear basketball shorts though so I can't complain.
Earlier in the week Joe was interviewed for his baptism and he and our District Leader (the leader of about 6 missionaries in the area) tricked us and said that he failed and they came out all depressed and weird. They got us for a couple minutes. Little rascals.
We had Zone Conference... the Graham and Puyallup South areas get together for training, etc. It was so freaky because my trainers S. Cox and S. Hopkins and my former Sister Training Leader S. Taylor AND my former District Leader/current Zone Leader E.Grandstaff bore their departing testimonies. :0 S. Cox and E. Grandstaff go home in 3 weeks and S. Taylor and S. Hopkins go home in 9! THE END IS DRAWING NIGH!!!!
Joyous moments:
- booking it on our bikes to go to appointments where the people didn't show up
- some guy asking us how old we are and then after hearing we are 20, saying "WHAT!? I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE 16 YEAR OLD GIRLS!"
- continuing to be called a Miley Cyrus look-a-like... except this person made it clear that she did not like Miley... sooooo... yeahhh.
- being the man of the house and killing all the spiders and picking up a dead rabbit in front... it's been designated my job I guess. Hah!
The Power of Prayer. I know that as I've really taken the time to focus during my prayers and make them meaningful and not just halfhearted, one-way conversations I've felt a difference. As we walk around and meet people we get to hear their testimonies on the power that prayer has brought into their lives. I know it can be a blessing to all of us. What a gift! Seriously! How often do we realized that we have the chance to communicate personally to the Father of the Creator of the Universe! The Father of all of our Spirits! Nothing is too great or too small to tell Him about. Have you prayed today?
HOPE ALL IS WELL. TELL ME ABOUT A MIRACLE THAT HAPPENED IN YOUR WEEK! :)
Until next time I'll be doin' it the Federal Way.
Much Love,
Sister Pearson :)
