Elder Holland: Color Me Rad!

Hey Fam!

This week was so awesome! We got to visit lots of people and volunteer at Color Me Rad!

We did not run the 5k but we ran one of the stations where you just chuck paint powder at people. It was so much fun! We did it in a white shirt, tie, and shorts with our name tags on. Everyone knew who we were and we got to talk to tons of people about the Church. The guys that run Color Me Rad are LDS so they let us set up a table with pass along cards and pamphlets to give out to people. I loved it and def plan on volunteering at these events again in the future!

We have been meeting with a lady for the past 7 weeks. She has been having a really hard time and has had to endure lots of trials in the passed few years. She is just finishing her last treatment of Chemo for her cancer and things are starting to look up for her. We met her at the perfect time in her life. Her husband is a member of the Church but had not been to Church in a long time. He fell away from the Church when he was like 10 because his family stopped going. This saturday she is getting baptized! Yesterday her husband received the Aaronic Priesthood and he will be performing the baptism! :) He is now active in the Church and is a worthy Priesthood holder. I have such a testimony of the Lord's timing. As a missionary we get to meet with so many people that have been waiting so long to receive the Gospel and somehow we show up just at the right time. I know that the Lord is in the details of all of our lives and that He uses us to accomplish His great and eternal purposes.
