3/26/2024 Week 11- BAPTISM WEEK!!!!!!!

 This week was really busy, but so many amazing things happened!!

 

Monday we didn't do much given it was pday. We played some card games with our district! And for FHE we played Salem (a really cool game similar to mafia) it was really fun because the killers change throughout the game...of course I won.

 

Tuesday we had a lesson with our friend Colin. He's super cool!! He really loves star wars so I can relate to him pretty easily. And during the lesson we moved his baptismal date to the 23rd of March!! 

 

Wednesday we had Zone Conference which mainly focused on the importance of reverence in all that we do as missionaries and simply as disciples of Christ. It came to back to the idea that reverence not only invites revelation but brings God more fully into our lives by doing what he asks of us. We also had lessons with our friends Damonte and Joshua! They are both solid and Joshua is also getting baptized the 23rd of March!!

 

Thursday was the only day we really got to walk around campus and well we met a few really cool people. We also got to go out to dinner with my favorite uncle (of my uncles named Charley)...anyway it was super fun and the food was good too. That's about it, I also started an exchange with the Spanish Elders again! 

 

Friday was a lot of fun!! All the lessons that were scheduled in the Spanish area had someone who also spoke English so I was able to share brief thoughts with them! Decatur is a great place to be... it's definitely what I thought of Texas was like. 

 

Saturday was Baptism day!!! Our friends Joshua and Colin got baptized! It was a great day for both of them and well the turn out from our ward was awesome. We also had homemade cinnamon rolls after... Sister Jones always makes the best food.

 

Sunday was pretty chill, Joshua and Colin both got confirmed so that was super cool! We didn't much other than that. 

 

Monday for FHE we did a "Color War" which was basically us just throwing chalk at each other for 5 minutes! After that we just ended up hitting the volleyball back at forth.

 

Hope all yall have a GREAT week!!
