Sorry for writing so late, I totally forgot about writing a group email today!
It hasn't been the busiest week all in all, but it's been a good one! The biggest thing that's happened was Hyrum's baptism last Saturday. It's always an awesome experience to have a baptism, especially up here where they're so few and far between. We've been working with him for a long time so it was great to finally be able to see him get into the water! He asked me to confirm him on Sunday, which was definitely a pretty flattering thing. He has a lot of friends and family in the ward that he could've had do it instead and I was really grateful for the opportunity. We're super happy for him!
Other than the baptism, nothing huge has happened this week, but we've seen lots of little miracles along the way. People have been put into our path and we've been given words to say in order to help others come closer to Christ, and even though we'll probably never see a lot of those people again, I'm just grateful for the knowledge that we were able to give them some small taste of what life in the gospel is really like... maybe one day some of them will look back on it and decide they want to know more.
This has been a pretty short email, but I'd better get it sent off! For my little spiritual thought this week, I want to issue everyone a little challenge: think of somebody this week. Just one person. Someone who's been struggling with something, whether it be their testimony or family or work or something completely different. Member or non-member, it doesn't really matter. And then think of some way you can help them. It could be as small as a text message or sharing a quick scripture, just something to brighten their day and let them know you're there. The brethren have been stressing member missionary work a lot lately, and I'm sure that's only going to continue in this next general conference! Let's all try to make an extra effort this week to share this gospel message with others!
Hope everyone has a great week!
