Elder Bryce Thompson: 9/9/2024 Week 35- baptism week pt. 4

This week was pretty legendary!! So many miracles and so many blessings.

Monday we went to the Old Fashioned Pancake house for our district lunch, I mean it was pretty good but could have been better. The rest of our pday we just played a couple card games, one of them -What Do You Meme- was really fun and well I ended up winning :) oh and I finished the day off by cutting the hair of the Elders in my district. First time doing it, but I think it turned out good!

Tuesday we had Zone Conference!!! Which was so incredible! The biggest focus was on prayer and how we can pray with more intent and desire. OK AND we went to the Fort Worth Temple Site for a portion of it!! It was so cool, I went 6 weeks ago or so and it's crazy how fast it's being built!! Can't wait to go back when it's dedicated in 2 years.

Wednesday we had a crazy day filled with DC and afterward a couple visits and two really good Visits with Marren and Kyle!! 2 of our friends on date!

Thursday is where we saw so many miracles!! It seems like the days we are on campus is when we see God magnifying our efforts so much. The day started out really slow, we were rejected by everyone we talked to which sucked.... but then we talked to Franco and that's when things started to pick up! We had a lesson with our friend Ola and let's just say the spirit was so strong in the lesson! We invited him to be baptized and he accepted and is preparing for October 12th!!! And then later in the day we also had a crazy lesson with Landon! The spirit was again so strong, so we invited him to be baptized and now he's preparing for October 12th as well!! God is preparing so many people right now!!! But get this, it doesn't end there. We got a referral who lives an hour south of us. We drove down and we started talking to him, getting to know him. GUESS what he said?? He said "I was baptized when I was younger but I know I need to be baptized again" So we invited him to be baptized on October 19th!!! He practically put himself on date which was insane! GOD BLESSES PEOPLE WHO PUT FORTH EFFORT!!!!

Ok anyway, Friday was pretty good too. I went on Exchange with Elder Wilson and it was fun! He is so awesome!!! We had a couple lessons with Omar and Braylon, as well as one with Kyle.

Saturday was the big day!!! Omar's baptism. The turnout was so good, I was expecting like 10 people but we got around 25 so that was cool. AND the stake president showed up so that was super awesome!!! The rest of the day was pretty calm.

Sunday was amazing as always! Had ward council early in the morning so we had to wake up at 5:45 😵‍💫. Other than that 5th Ward's service was great and in the YSA, Omar got confirmed!!! It was so cool to see the amount of people who talked to him afterward!

Have a great week yall!!
