This week was not any other regular week, it was full of ups and downs and hard stuff and lots of miracles. This week for the first time ever in all of my mission I was able to go with my companion and some recent converts from our branch to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. We did about 60 baptisms and 70 or so confirmations. It was one of the coolest moments of my life to be with them and helping them understand exactly what it was that they were doing for these people, helping them understand how grateful these people are for that same work that we were doing on their behalf. We were able to bring two or three names to do with them, their ancestors and I really do not have the words to explain how it felt to be there. It is one thing to do the work your self, but it is another thing to walk them through it and help them help others. We have also seen a lot of success in our zone, I love being here and I hope they never take me out. We have changes on Monday so we will see what happens. I'm so grateful for the priesthood, the power and authority that we have on the earth to help others and bind their families together for the eternities. I hope you guys all know that God loves you, that he wants us all to be successful but will not give us all the success we want if we don't put in our part ! This week we were going and inspecting all of the houses in our zone (one of our responsibilities as zone leaders and something we were thinking about putting off) and we got a text from a family that we have been working a lot with and said that the mom wants to be baptized, and every day we see more and more miracles that make me appreciate my life and blessings more and more. I hope that you all have an amazing week and keep on keepin on !! Don't give up !!! Check out the photos on the blog to see the temple shots and other stuff from our zone activity. love.
