Not a whole lot happened this week, but we did go to Gun-Lock Reservoir for P-day and that was soooooo much fun!
I can't believe that April has already flown by. It seems like time just keeps flying by. It is also getting hotter here. Almost everyday was 90° outside. As it turns out, it is not a whole lot of fun to bike outside when it is that hot and you are wearing pants.
In my last area, one of the people I was working very close with were able to get baptized. His name was Jordan and I have a picture of him and the person who baptized him below. I mention this because it teaches two important lessons. First, someone is not converted by a missionary or missionaries, he is converted by the spirit. Our job as missionaries is just to help the spirit be present so that He can teach them. Second, a missionary is called into or out of an area for specific reasons. Though I worked very closely with this family, I left the area trusting that everything will work out because the Lord was watching over them.
I wish I could have been there for the baptism, but I am so incredibly happy that he was able to make that decision to be baptized. I have grown so much in my faith and trust in the Lord because of this experience.
I hope you all have a great week!
