I feel like I lived an entire transfer in one week. This
week was seriously one of the longest, hardest, and most exhausting weeks in my
entire mission, but also one of the most rewarding.
Some things from this week: we somehow had 20 hours of
service at Helping Hands, the senior center, the literacy council, horses for
healing, and teaching English. I don't know how we got involved in so much
service, but I enjoy it! We also got permission to go to the Bentonville High
School orchestra and choir concerts with some members to support the youth in
the music programs. We were able to talk to a lot of people there and the music
was amazing!
But the most important part of the week was that JAMES WAS
BAPTIZED!!!!! Satan really didn't want this baptism to happen so he tried
everything he could to stop it and then tried everything to make sure we didn't
enjoy it. But everything worked out. It was an amazing experience and I could
feel the spirit there so strongly. James bore his testimony after the baptism
and then he got up during testimony meeting and shared his testimony. He said
that he felt like he was "drowning in a pool of love and salvation."
It was the best moment on my mission. I know this church is the true church of
Jesus Christ. It made me so happy to be able to help James come to that
knowledge for himself and step into the covenant path by being baptized.
God is good!
