Benedicto Baptism

What's up everyone this week was so fast and it was awesome. This week was Benedictos baptism. It was perfect and the spirit was strong. Such a happy day for everyone. I had to give a talk in my broken Spanish but I have gotten over caring if I mess up. I am so excited to keep finding people to teach and progress. We are having a hard time finding people but hopefully this week we can get some people ready to listen and progress.

 

 

This week we had a ward game night that us elders planned and had for the ward because the branch struggles with all getting along sometimes. We had a good turnout and it went well. I remain uno champ in the branch. Also, nobody will beat me in monopoly deal in 2 years just saying.

 

 

We had exchanges this week and I got to go to an area called Casillas. It's a little more country than my area and I was with a Latino all day who doesn't speak english. It was good to practice my Spanish. Overall exchanges went well but i learned how much Spanish i really don't know haha.

 

 

Zone P day was today which is where the whole zone gets together and plays sports. It was super fun to get to see some of the people in the mission and play 5 v 5 basketball again. Me and my comp also beat our zone leader in spikeball today who was ranked 11 in Utah before leaving on his mission.

 

 

Nothing else this week I'm ballin out here. Everyone is asking if I paint my hair and where I buy the paint for my hair. 

 

 

A verse i loved this week was 2 Nephi 9:39

 

 

39 O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one. Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal. 

 

 

  I love this cause it is so simply said. We just need to strive to always be spiritually minded. Keeping ourselves spiritually minded and thinking eternally is eternal life. I also love this because the first letter of the last 5 words spell out a smile. We all just need to choose to be happy and choose to always smile. As I have done these things I have found myself happier and found myself having better days.

 

 

Anyways love you and miss you all. Next p day is Monday so not too long. Send me a message would love to hear from you all
