This week was one to remember
:) We were able to experience so many awesome and amazing things this
week! First off, Matt was Baptized on tuesday! He is quite the
character and right after he came up out of the water he yelled, "I feel
good!" It was awesome.
On Sunday Matt was Confirmed a
member of the Church and received the Holy Ghost. Matt and Steve both
received the Aaronic Priesthood and Matt taught the lesson in Gospel
Principles! It is amazing to see how the Gospel can help people change and
literally become new creatures in Christ in such a short period of time.
President Mecham asked that all
the Missionaries have an Easter Devotional and so we all met 7:30 for a
devotional yesterday morning. It was fantastic! I loved hearing all
the different Missionaries share their testimony of the Savior and what he did
for us. The Spirit was strong i the meeting and at the end we all had the
opportunity to kneel and offer a personal prayer of only gratitude to our
Heavenly Father. It was a moment I will remember forever. I know
without a doubt that God answers prayers. I know that he blesses us
unconditionally but as we raise our voice to Heaven in gratitude He blesses us
even more abundantly. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer
of the world. He suffered for our sins, died, and was resurrected.
Because He lives we will also live forever. He has the power to cleanse
even the vilest of sinners and make them clean once again. I am a changed
person because of Him and am eternally grateful for His great and Infinite
Atonement.
We have lots of fun things
happening this summer that I am really excited about! In 2 weeks we as
missionaries are going to run the 5K, "Color Me Rad" while wearing a
white shirt and tie. I'm stoked! On saturday we got to hike up to
the M with a large group of young single adults and we had a great devotional
that focused on the Savior. It was awesome how many random people joined
us in our discussion at the top of their hike. The people in Missoula are
awesome :)
I love you all and am grateful
for all your prayers and support as a missionary. Have a fantastic week!
