Then There Was Satan

 My Mondays are lowkey down to a routine and I love it kind of. It stinks that I don't leave and I think I lowkey get depressed from it, BUT I have a nice schedule to video chat you all. All things work out am I right?!

Tuesday was insane. Jeffery. YOOO. So we met with Jeffery to talk about 2 Nephi 31 (the chapter about why Christ was baptized) and he loved it so much. He said that he wanted to be baptized and wanted to wait awhile to learn more about the Book of Mormon and our church. I looked at him and turned to Mosiah 18:8-10. I told him if he has a desire, he can be baptized not knowing everything. We invited him to read Mosiah 18 and then ask God when he wanted to be baptized. Exactly 10 minutes after we left his hotel room, we got a phone call from him. We answer and he says,"I got my answer, can I be baptized as soon as possible??" I was like, how does Saturday work? He was like alright, that's the plan. I then wanted to know how he came to this realization that he wanted to be baptized. He told us,"I would be a fool if I didn't follow Christ in being baptized." AHHHHH KINGGGG. Right after we hung up, we dialed Prez and told him what just went down. I was literally tweaking at this point. On the phone with President Heap, I'm like,"PREZ, LETS GOOOOOO." Literally screaming at the top of my lungs. President Heap matched our energy. Such an amazing moment. We met Jeffery on the 17th of March. TALK ABOUT ELECT. 

The day after I wrote the above portion, then there was Satan. Jeffery ghosted us for a full day. We were so worried. No worries, we are back on track, but he didn't get baptized this weekend. Everything was going well until Satan started working…SMH dawg. God's timing though. I am not too worried. 

I have to talk about the new edition to our district. Elder and Sister Sullivan from New Mexico came to Jackson to join our district! We also received another senior couple on top of them that we haven't met yet. Our district has 12 missionaries. It's huge! So crazy how I district lead over these people. I am not qualified to do this haha. God uses the weak and simple ;)). 

I got my Easter package from mom! The new shirts and pants are SO FIRE! Light Brown pants are such a move. I forgot what it was like wearing khakis. They go with everything. Thank you Mom and Dad (I guess budday too) for sending me that package. It was sent from heaven. 

Friday night was fun. We stopped by a YSAs home to give her a blessing since her family aren't members. I walk in her home and her 12 year old step brother named Wyatt looks at me and asks,"what sport do you play?" I responded with the usual,"I grew up playing soccer, but my favorite sport is basketball." Hes like,"you wanna run it?" I'm like BET. We gave the blessing and then I played this kid in a game to 11 on his slanted driveway. It was still pretty cold, it was about 35 degrees outside. This kid was literally Weston. He talked like him, thought like him, and definitely acted like him. He knew so much about sports, like as much as Weston. It was so fun to be around someone that was so similar to Weston. He trash talked so much, he literally trashed talked the same way Weston does. It made me laugh so hard. I miss playing basketball with Weston. After I beat him to 11, he's like 1 more. Then we play another and he beats me. He is like I guess we have to play another. I come out on top finally sweating in my new clothes I got in the mail that day haha. Missionary work amiright? I got a photo with Wyatt. Super awesome kid. He loves the missionaries, but his parents are not about it right now. 

Conference you know hits different on the mish! The first session on Saturday we got it approved to gather as a District. We all drove to the Holt building to meet up. I bought Hungry Howies and everyone brought snacks. We pulled all the couches and comfy chairs from around the church to make it comfy while we watched. We pulled out the nice projector they had at the building and broadcasted that. The second session we watched at the Charlotte branch building. Nothing too exciting there. We then listened to the Women's session when we were at our apartment. No judging, as Elder Renlund said,"It isn't just for young women," in his talk Saturday evening. The Sunday sessions we just watched them at the church building with like four members. It made me miss watching it on the comfy couch with nice warm blankets and mom's cinnamon rolls. 

I love you all so much. Please reach out, I need some support. God knows and loves you perfectly! #FindTime4Me
