Baseball with the Baptists

(Sister Slade)

This week was very interesting. I had three different titles in mind for this email. The one I chose is because we found someone to teach who invited us to join her Christian baseball team and her team happened to be Baptists. They were super excited to have us and it was a lot of fun. Were going to be a part of their team pretty regularly, so that's exciting. The other two titles I had were some what related: the bugs are back and return to the ER. I got some big bites that I had a severe allergic reaction to. My legs swelled up and the bites turned purple and blue. The biggest was the size of my hand. The mission nurse told us to go into the ER so we did and now the swelling is gone and the coloration is just sort of blotchy.

Something else that happened this week was we were caught in a giant storm. On our way back from district council a giant storm made us pull over on the side of the highway. We couldn't see a foot in front of our windshield and the trees beside us were being blown parallel to the ground.

This week I learned a lot about the Savior. There was someone that I know from my mission that was going through a really hard time and my heart hurt for them. I realized that that was what the Savior felt for us and he did it voluntarily. He loved us so much that he let his heart hurt for us. He loved us so much that He died of a broken heart for us. When we feel that pain for someone else, we're experiencing a portion of what the savior felt for us.

I love being a missionary! I've being able to tell people how much God loves them.

God is good!
