First off it
was amazing to see my family yesterday! I love you guys so much, and Mom I hope
you had a great mother's day!
So this
weekend P. got baptized on Saturday and it was so amazing, He was so prepared,
and had all these questions of what happens after baptism and when can he receive
the Priesthood. It was amazing, it has been so great seeing him growing and
learn, and test out this gospel, and listen to him talking to his Father in
Heaven. It has been so humbling to really see the Lord's hand in all of this
and for Him being gracious enough to let us play a little part in it. We sang
as a group of missionaries Kasten Jälkeen, When I am baptized (I think that’s
the name, the I love to look for rainbows one). The spirit was so strong and as
we sang I saw P. with his girlfriend member holding hands, getting teary eyed.
I was able to see a little bit of the future for them, and understand how a
little better how this faith, repentance, and baptism, then onto the temple
changing this life, and eternity forever. On Sunday he received the gift of the
Holy Ghost and it was so great to hear the blessing of how much His Father
loves him and has been mindful of P. his entire life. He was received into the
ward with open arms and was so great to see him connect with the members
better.
I am kind of
at a loss for words of how to explain how much joy that is in my heart right
now. I have learned so much on this mission, and have been so humbled by every
single experience, big or small that has happened.
While talking
to my dad right before we ended Skype he said when I asked for last works of
advice. ''Don’t give up. When you get on that plane ride on the way back home,
you figuratively hand over your mission to the Lord and say this is my
sacrifice, and want to say, I did as best as I could.''
That is one
thing I have promised to the Lord, no matter how hard, how discouraged, how
sad, I get. I will never give up, I will keep falling, but I will keep getting
back up, with the help of my Savior. Brightening my eyes and heart to having
full hope and faith, and moving forward with more game plans.
Speaking of
Game plans, this next one we are working on getting the youth involved and
excited it will be called ''Youth Explosion'' gotta get a wave, coming in, and brightening up
this beautiful country! If you have any ideas, about it, or something cool your
missionaries did in your area, or what you have done, send me a message and let
me know. This is going to be EPIC.
I love you
all, keep it real, and keep smiling; the Gospel is the good news. The Lord is
on our side, what do we got to fear?
Love ya,

P.S. gave a talk at P's baptism on the gift of the holy
ghost, my president once explained in a very simple way that imagine your life
is made into a movie, baptism represents editing out all the bad parts. But the
thing is you are still the same character that could probably do those bad things again. That is why we need the gift of the Holy Ghost, which literally changes
our character. Literally helps us open our eyes and see the way the Savior sees
when we act on promptings, it changes us, to only desire to do good. That is
why the Holy Ghost is THE most precious gift the Father can give us.
