Well, It was a great week! We have been working super hard. We had a ton of new investigators and had some people make it to church! We will hopefully have a baptism this coming week. It is this girl named Teddy who has been taught for a long time. But she is excited to finally be baptized.
Today we went to a waterfall which was pretty cool! Took some nice pictures and had a nice little hike. I love my new district. I have served around two of them already, so it was easy to get used to everyone. Operation smile is going good. We haven't pitched the idea to a ton of people yet, but we are going to have a fireside in 2 weeks and it will be the "launch" of it. We are going to write up like a commitment and make people sign it and spread happiness everywhere they go!
I was thinking a lot about sacrifice this week. Mostly about Christ related to sacrifice. I have taken the Jesus Christ topical guide challenge and also started memorizing The Living Christ. It has been an amazing experience. It has made me feel so much closer to the Savior. But I realized that as we make sacrifices the Lord gives us more blessings. The greater the sacrifice, the greater the blessings. For example, going on a mission. It is a huge sacrifice, but the blessings are also huge! As we make these small sacrifices, put a character flaw, or a sin, or anything on the alter, Christ will give us blessings 100 fold. What can you put on the alter to sacrifice to Christ?
