This week was Fantastic! We did a super cool service project with "Surf the Nations". They acquire a bunch of food and do a feed the hungry event. So we spent 3 hours handing out food to people. It was such a blessing to see their faces light up with joy as you hand them food. It’s also a very humbling thing knowing these people go to bed hungry every single night but tonight they would have a full tummy. So many people were able to be fed and it was a great chance to spread the gospel as they recognized that we were doing all we could to follow Christs example.
We were busy this week with lessons
as well which was so awesome! And our week of lessons concluded with 4 baptisms. The Programs were awesome and the spirit was so strong! I am so
blessed to have been able to have watched these wonderful people change,
progress, and now make covenants with Heavenly Father. It’s incredible to see
how Family and Friend relationships grow exponentially when the teachings of
Christ and his restored Gospel are integrated in that relationship. One thing I
am witnessing on my mission is ANY burden, heart ache, emotional stress, or sin
will be lighter and eventually overcome through Christ. There is so much money
spent, so much time taken, and so much sadness endured trying to find another
way.... But if we will just look to him, embrace him and his teachings, He will
heal us. He is the light, life, and hope of the world. Through him he can not
only light up us but light up the world.
