This week was insane. It involved a massive crawfish boil, a
broken bike seat(again), probably about a total of 15 donuts in my stomach just
in this week, free Smoothie King, a trip to New Orleans, Slade's baptism, and
many more mighty miracles!
Slade was baptized just yesterday and it was such a
beautiful service. He is such a legend. I love the San Miguel's. Evryn, his
daughter is getting baptized in a couple weeks too and they're planning to go
to the temple next year and be sealed together for eternity!
We knocked on this one lady's door this week that had been
contacted over a year ago and we just ended up talking for a long while and
were able to share with her the whole message of the Restoration. It was such a
simple and powerful lesson. Then she comes to the ward crawfish boil two days
later. We meet with her after and she had already read in the Book of Mormon to
Mosiah 3. Legendary. She ends up opening up to us about things she feels she
could never ever be forgiven for and she questions if things can ever be made
right. We had a very special opportunity to testify of the breadth of the
Savior's love and mercy as well as the infinite reach or His Atonement. That
somehow, someway, and some day, all can be made right because of Him. We testified
of baptism for the remission of sins and the power and authority that is in
Christ's church. She asked to be baptized. She is amazing.
The Gospel is real. And Christ really can make all things
right. I don't know how. I don't know the divine mechanisms that enable the
Savior to restore us to everything that is good and restore everything to be
good again. However I trust that He can because I have felt His love and I
couldn't imagine anything less than Him doing everything He can for us.
Stay blessed
