So the most exciting thing this week was that we got to go to a baptism on Saturday! It was technically not for our investigator but it was someone on the West side who I had started teaching before our area got split. It was awesome! His name is Ebb (as in Ebeneezer) and we found him because he had requested a bible online! He is a funny guy. As he was coming up out of the water he yelled "yee-haw!!"
We had zone conference up in Midland this week and it was our last zone conference by the Heaps! So sad but I am also excited to meet the new mission presidents too! It was a great conference where we talked about repentance and finding a lot. We also talked a lot about accountability. We should always be accountable to the Lord in our prayers. There has been a change to the temple policy so unfortunately that pretty much means that unless we get to go with a recent convert we won't get to go because of the distance from the temple :(
We also found out some sad news that there isn't anymore Spanish sister areas so that means that if I do get transferred somewhere Spanish speaking we would be white washing (where both missionaries are totally new to the area). President Heap did tell us that SLC is going to stop sending Spanish missionaries for awhile though so there are only going to be 8 Spanish sisters in our mission which means we are the chosen few!!
We were knocking a bunch on Saturday (no one is ever here on Saturdays) and we were excited because someone was finally coming to the door and we suddenly realized that this was a members home. Ooops! haha! So we just played it off like we meant to knock on their door (:
The man that we got to teach in Spanish last week, Gilberto, came to church!!! He came to our ward but we convinced him to come to the Spanish branch next week. He really felt the spirit even though he couldn't understand what was going on.
Taylor stayed for all 3 hours for the first time yesterday!!! It was awesome!! She has been officially investigating for almost a year now and she usually comes to Sacrament but this was the first time she stayed for Relief Society and it was great! We are so excited for her! And Alex got the priesthood yesterday!!! His parents came into town for it too so we got to meet them which was cool!
I really learned how important the priesthood is this week. Our church couldn't run without it! I am so grateful for the power and the order it brings! I would suggest that anyone who wants to learn more about it should go and read "Our Search for Happiness" there is a really good chapter on it that I read this morning.
