THis week was probably the best week of my mission, actually saturday just took the cake we are being blessed right and left and I think its due to just are diligence and hard work and companionship unity haha we are gettting along so good and have been working out super hard every morning im getting a lot stronger, we busted out the crock pot and rice cooker ive been lugging around my mission (asay gave me the rice cooker) so we have been eating a lot better, tons of chicken haha sister orrelano bought us a big bag that we are going to cook up this week, we are jsut trying to get bigger, well at least i am i mean i dont have a lot of time to get back in shape for Dixie but my companion doesnt have to be any bigger he's huge! like seriously i guy that you would see on the billboards in vegas if you know what i mean, he put up 300 on bench this last week and hadn't benched his whole mission till he got here, he's chizzled which motivates me for sure!!!
Asay someone was telling me this week that when you were in corona that you put a picture with your shirt off on the wall as motivation for the missionaries and what they could become, haha i though that was funny, maybe a little much, but i got the real life version as a companion.
We had some great meetings this week one of them had to do with what being a successful missionary was like and becasue there have been some missionaries with doubts on how successful they really are and it was awesome it got me pretty motivated to be something more then i am.
We had a great lesson with Patrick, I feel weird emailing most of the time about specific people on my mission but i know him and KC who i will talk about soon would b sool with it considering how much it affected me and how cool i think it is. We ahd a lesson with Patrick this week, he's in high school and played football a lot of people know him i guess you could say hes kind of a big deal and we talked about the doctrine of Christ, the need for faith, repentance, being baptised, and receiving the Holy ghost, the spirit was strong in that lesson and we talked about two of my favorites that talk about the importance of authority and of the holy ghost, one in Acts 8 when stephen tries to buy the authority or power-the priesthood from the apostles and they say that it cant be bought and in Acts 19 when Paul comes across the disciples and rebaptises them after they had been baptised by john because they had not received the holy ghost. Becasue John baptised for forgiveness but he who came after him Jesus came with the baptism of fire, of the holy ghost, he did that with his higher authority which he gave to his apostles which could give the GIFT of the holy ghost to every one, it was awesome and then we asked if he wanted to receive that gift and he said yes on the 13th! so he's getting baptised this week as Bianca is the next day.
Ill tell you about KC next week remind me, hes awesome and one of my best friends here in murrita, but i have four minutes left on the computer
i seriously love ya'll and hope the week goes well.
