So this week was a good one. i just wanted to say how awesome this oppertunity i have is. not many other people get to go to a forign land and get to learn the culture and language for two years. the best part is, i know that pretty much only missionaries in our church get to preach the gospel during this time. thats the best part, we get to share this plan of happiness to children of our Heavenly Father. so this week i learned a lot about how our actions have an impact on others.
we have interchanges for a day and we got to go out with elder stout. he is our district leader and has 23 months in the mission. he is an amazing missionary and im glad we got to learn from him before he left. the one thing we learned the most was we have to be animated and show our happiness for this work. we all need to show our happiness, we know of all the blessings that we can recieve in the eternities if we obey the commandments and live the gospel.
so this saturday we had another baptism. his name is Juan and he is awesome. he cooks us lunch every day and he has the strongest stestimony. he is super prepared to get the priesthood and flourish in this church. we are super excited for his wife nohemy too. we are going to baptize her next saturday. im stoked for them and their decision to follow the example of our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
Sooo i dont know how many of you have really have read the words to the son If you could hie to Kolob. i encourage all of you too. it has really hit me how big this plan of happiness is for us and how we cant even comprehend it. i really like the last 2 verses. the lines all start out the same butthey go like this. there is no end to... virtue, might, wisdom,light, union, youth, priesthood, truth, the next veres is a bit different but it kind of follows the same pattern. it goes there is no end to... glory, love, being, there is no end to death above, and it repeatas that twice. sorry i tried to explain it but its easier if you just look it up haha its number 284 i think.
Just a little funny thing that happened this week. we met real live chancho it was awesome. he was wearing sweatpants and a stained shirt hahah. the funniest part was he was the biggest bible basher we have contacted yet... hes 12. thats about it this week. i really learned about happiness and how we need to share it with everyone. Love you all
-Elder Adams Jr.
PS scripture for the week... Mosiah 5 15 it talks about how idfe we are steadfast and immovable always abounding in good works, we will recieve so many blessings.
