Irene's Baptism!

Hey friends and family this week was a good one! To start off we had MLT at Kingwood so I got to see a lot of my friends in the mission that are district leaders so that was super awesome.

I'm ballin right now at a chapel so I forgot my journal. All the weeks seem to blend into each other at this point. 1 crazy thing was we got a sweet referral from Sister Simpson. She sent over a referral to Baytown and they are really cool people so way to be a team player and help out the Lake Houston Zone. 

Friday, we had District Training so we went around and taught a meeting to 5 districts. It was a crazy busy but I got to see a ton of my friends. We talked about accountability and how important it is. When we are accountable we allow ourselves to repent and be forgiven and feel the joy of becoming better. It is something that we really feel will help the mission since we haven't been doing as well as we could. 

Sunday was super busy. To start off we had Arts confirmation which was a great experience. He is a great kid and will continue to do good things, next step is to get him to the temple! We had a meeting with President Rascone and President Hewlett to discuss missionary work in the stake and we are trying to get members more involved in inviting us to go on visits with them to reactivate people. 

Stole Sister Hewlett's phone!

Irene's Baptism was the best part of the week! She has been waiting sooooooo long for this since she had to get first presidency approval. We did her interview way back in the beginning of May. But President Hewlett and Rascone both came and spoke and the spirit that was there was super strong. 

We were driving our car to MLT and our window shattered and got glass everywhere. It was pretty crazy but I'm doing my part to get into a bike area. I've had 2 broken windows so maybe they will get the vibe I'm just bad luck and put me where I belong.

Nahhhhh you're good (it's getting supa hot 🔥🔥)  Elder Toledo kept his foot in the shade and said he wasn’t going out into the heat haha.

This next week we will be looking to get back into finding some more people because our 2 other investigstors that had a date isn't going to happen this week. 1 just isn't quite getting it and isn't ready and the other got antied so that was no bueno. Don't just go looking stuff up on the internet. But I'm grateful for the opportunity to go on a mission and the things I've learned! We had so many spirit filled lessons and I love it! Love you all and talk to you next week!

Did you watch the worldwide youth broadcast?  Did you take any investigators? 

We didn't get the chance to go to the broadcast but from what I heard it was really good. I wish Art would have been able to go but his mom is going in for surgery and things have been pretty crazy for him at home lately.  Missionary life just seems to get busier. Our ward mission leader moved so we have just been doing wayyy too much work to prepare for baptisms and things. And we had to get a lot of information compiled for President Hewlett and his meetings. But I'm hoping things settle down a little more so we can do some good old classic missionary work.
