| Skylar's Baptism |
Kamusta kamo?!?
What a week this was. Nothing INSANELY mind-blowing or anything, but it was good. If you're just here to hear about food places or transfers, then you might just have to read my letter hehe....
So with the Utah spring there often are times where it is warm enough outside and Elder Dieker and I don't have to wear sweaters or anything. So with the classic missionary look, we get a lot more honks and waves from people, and sometimes people will just straight up pull over and talk to us, and sometimes even give us money haha. Anyway, while this one lady that pulled over was talking to us, another car pulled over to talk to us and we were like "Bruh people are literally lining up on the side of the road to talk to us" joke langggggggggg. Anyway, when the first car was done, we turned around and saw the second car and the girl in the passenger seat says, "Hey my friend (*who was the driver*) isn't active in the Church anymore, so can you guys convert him? Just give him some words of wisdom." It ended up being a really cool conversation because this kid was really smart and had a lot of great questions for us actually. I thought we answered them as best we could, but the main thing we ended up talking about was that unless we pray to Heavenly Father for the answers we want, we are only going to be relying on the words of others. We personally have to go to the source of all knowledge when we have questions. We gave him a Book of Mormon too! It was awesome!
Another serious highlight this week was I went back to Eagle Mountain again for Skylar's baptism! Going back to old areas for baptisms is a big thing in this mission because it's so small, and Skylar was a kid I taught when I was there. It was a really great baptism too and it was great to see Skylar's family again. It was so fun to see all the Eagle Mountain homies again too. Always a good day when you get to go to the Promised Land.
Anyway, the moment you've all been waiting for: food places. This week had Mo Bettah's, Summit Pizza, El Mexiquenze, and TEXAS ROADHOUSE. I don't know why, but I always walk out of Texas Roadhouse better than I came in haha. That place is just another level of good.
Anyway, the other stuff that I guess some of you may kinda wanna hear about: transfers. Elder Dieker is going to American Fork, and in regards to the subject line, I'm training!! I'm actually pretty excited about it. It will be fun to have a new guy. Hopefully I can give him a good start. As for the Elders we live with, Elder Thomas is going to Vineyard and Elder Carlin is also training!! We're gonna have 2 trainees in the apartment! Double the fun!
When they say you learn a lot on the mission, they really mean it. It's almost an understatement. You learn things you never thought you'd learn, or even needed to learn, or even were things to learn. You learn things you never knew you never knew (and if you got that quote, you a real one). The important thing is that we are humble enough to always be open to learning new things, trying new things, and seeeing how we can improve. There is always more to learn, and when we are humble enough, we can always learn more!
Palangga ta kamo tanan! Halong pirmi!
