Just to explain my title... We attended a baptism in Dwarka and the Elders quorum pres gave a baptism talk and he said "because of my baptism I found Jesus and my wife... what else do you need" :) hahaha!! So funny!
Hello family and friends! It has been a short 3 days and now we're back to another Monday! Not a lot happened, and im not going to give a long update this week. I want to have time to talk to my lovely sister before she has her big surgery today! Well this week we literally just visited members and referrals. We got a mixture of not home, come back later or come in please. With the referrals we did a lot of walking and were not able to find their homes. We did lots of work, taught some lessons and felt the spirit and had fun while doing it. Missions can be so fun and exciting if you choose to have them be that way! I love my mission. Well a cool experience we were able to have was teaching Richard. He is Sister Norvina's uncle and we are teaching him before he moves back to his hometown that is very far away. We taught the last part of the restoration and it was awesome. We invited Sister Norvina and her husband to bear their testimonies and that was so huge for Richard. He got emotional and then Elder Nelli was overwhelmed with the spirit and invited Richard to be baptized on January 6th. It was such an amazing experience...I made sure to thank bro and sis Norvina for being missionaries with us tonight. I'm so grateful for members here. They really allow our work to be great and not just good. Well that's the update for the last 3 days. The home group is good, we had 23 members this week and are hoping to get our own building soon so we don't have to keep holding our sacrament meeting in a building called precious moments... It just doesn't sound good haha!
I love you all so much. I hope you have an amazing week!! Always remember the real meaning of Christmas is Jesus Christ, his birth and the life he lived and sacrificed for us! I'm so excited to be serving the people of India during Christmas!! I love you all!!
Spiritual thought:
Well in my last update I talked about how families and our Savior are the most important things for us. So I thought I would take this time to bear my testimony on the love I have for my sister and the impact she has had on my life. I love Kenzie and will always be grateful for the example, role model and best friend that she has been to me! She has had so many challenges and trials in her life and she pushed through them like they were nothing. She decided to serve the Lord in the middle of all of that and served faithfully for 18 months. I strive everyday to be as faithful as she was. Watching her example for 18 months really gave me a desire to serve my mission. I told myself that if she can do it, then I can do it and I have to do it! When I hear the words strong, beautiful, determined, kind, understanding, smart, forgiving, daughter of God, friend, hero and Sister I think of Kenzie! I love her with all my heart and i'm so grateful for the impact she has had on me. Brothers and sisters, young men and young women you can be that example and role model to your friends and family! You can change there lives and lift them up, but it all depends on the choices you make, the attitude, and the focus you decide to have in your life. I hope and pray that you will choose the "Harder right than the easier wrong", have a positive, understanding and forgiving attitude and a focus centered on Jesus Christ. If you do you can have an impact on those you love that will last a life time! This is my prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
