Ayyyy what is up my everyone! Thanks for clicking on my email, I hope you feel….. inspired
! Want to know something crazy?.... I found out last night that Easter is actually to celebrate the resurrection… ha I don't know how but I had no clue. I thought it was just another holiday for fun, like Hanukkah or something. Haha Lots of crazy stuff has been going on though because this week was Gnarly! On Tuesday we had MLC review and DC in Rapid with the bromies, and then on Friday we had a Zone Conference which was a good time as well. Most importantly though on Saturday in between conferences John and Scott got baptized!!! It was quite an exhilarating baptismal service haha. I baptized John first and he is a bigger guy for a small font so first attempt his stomach was sticking out so I kinda tried to shove him down but it ended up with him barely making it back up ha. Boom, on the second attempt I screwed up the prayer and then on the third attempt I got it! But after Elder Larson baptized Scott and his logic was.. “ONE AND DONE” he was getting this first try. Man literally throws Scott into the water and slams his head on the side of the font and the only reason he got all the way under on the first try was because of the wave he created. Meanwhile the ward is just like yup these are our missionaries that, i'm pretty sure, hates us already. Idk, its sad, most of the time the members are the hardest to interact with haha. Anyways, I wouldn't have changed how it went for the world. It made it memorable and everyone had a good time. I had the college students speak and the spirit was strong! Anyways let's talk about Conference… Flames right?!? It was really really cool to hear President Nelson the prophet of Christ's church and Ballard talk so strongly on missions and the importance of them and command that all young men need to serve and then have two baptisms right after as a missionary. Which was awesome haha.. And I second everything they said. Still can't believe how much the lord has changed my principles of beliefs and gifted me a testimony I never saw myself with ever. My favorite talk was definitely Oaks’s talk on Sunday. Puts into perspective the true goal of exhalation we should all be after. Hope everyone enjoyed it! Also lately we have been in the run in with the cops so much we have started to recognize each other and got a little bond going. Haha it's kinda funny I know 1 of them by name…. always chat for a minute as they deal with someone being stupid. In conclusion I am doing great! Also how is everyone's Book of Mormon reading? Better be reading because there is an almighty God that happens to be loving and we just happen to be his children and he also has just happened to give us that book so whether or not you can say with certainty that the book is true or not read it. Every day!
