This
week was possibly the fastest and smoothest week I've had here. We've been
pretty busy. I'll try and explain it without boring you to death. :)
I
want to talk about a few people. First Carlos and Rosa. In the past 5 months
they went from less actives, they were my first rescue. SO many trails,
problems, bums, doubts, and fears. This week they set their marriage date. Feb
14th at 7pm. (Cheesy I know) But depending on the bishop, they're going to the
temple. To be sealed together. I can't express my joy. Last night they
explained how thankful they were for me, and that caught me off guard because
man I'm just Daniel. I said the spirit must have done some work because I
really am just a 19 year old boy. It was a funny experience I'll remember
forever.
Other
person is Karla. When we met her two months ago she was a bit of a wreck. Her
boyfriend left her and her daughter, she moved in with her mom, she was
hopeless. I can't explain how much she's changed. I think she was the first
person to actually read the pamphlet we gave her. She's Rosa's friend so her and
Carlos have been there for every lesson. She's going to be baptized the 24th.
Last night she said she wanted me to baptize her, that too caught me off guard.
haha I told her, "Listen, if you're Elder Smith's first baptism, and you
ever go less or inactive, I don't care where I live or how poor I am, I'll come
back here and kill you." She laughed, then I said I'm not kidding. It was
pretty funny, and so I guess I'm dunking her.
I
have a lot more to say, but maybe you'll just have to talk to me when I'm home
:) And I got things to do today, and people to email! I hope you have a good
week, and for HEAVENS SAKE if you have a questions, concerns, doubts, or
anything Read the Book Of Mormon!.
Now
SOMEBODY PLEASE.. tell me who has more members of the church, Utah or
California.
Quote
of the week
"You
really are the bearer of good news!"
----A
old friend who wrote that in my idea journal.
Here's
another because I'm feeling generous. It's a classic.
"We
might not have it all together, but together we have it all!"
That's
me and Jesus. :)
Pictures!
I'm sorry.. I messed up this week man..
1.
Elder Frazier bought this and said, "This will last me the rest of my
mission" As I was brushing my teeth looking at it, I thought, "Why do
we all write in each others journals, it's like a yearbook, something we'll
never read again". So I grabbed his shave cream, knowing he'll use it
everyday and wrote a note on it. :) Now he'll read inspiring words every
morning! haha
