Happy 4th of July!!

Hey Everyone! 

There is so little time..here are a few things from this week. 

A bunch of great sisters! Lindsay's companion
is the sister on the right hand side.

This week we got to teach our amazing TRC investigator all but one night. She is incredible! She reminds me so much of the people we might meet in the south. She has such strong faith and wants to know as much as she can. She loves God and is so thrilled by how we are able to clear up confusing concepts in the gospel. We've talked about things such as the law of Moses, how you can tell if something is from God, what faith is, who Jehovah is in the Bible, why we call Jesus "Christ"..etc. It's incredible. She just soaks it all up. She loves analogies. 

I have come to realize why baptism is absolutely crucial for those we teach. I never really felt the true weight of its importance until now. ONLY through baptism can we obtain our salvation. No matter how amazing we are as a person, baptism IS a saving ordinance that grants us access to the path of living with our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ again. I can't really find the right words to explain the importance it has in my mind now. We ask people to be baptized because we truly, truly love them and want the best for them. I almost want to take a sign around the streets of Georgia inviting people to talk to us about how they can be baptized..but I won't because they would all think we were crazy. :) God is preparing people. It is our job to find them (whether we are wearing a name tag or not).

Missionaries must do laundry too! P-day chores!

The MTC is amazing and full of learning opportunities. What you put into the classes is what you will get out. It is so hard to get enough sleep, but I know it is so important, because it is 100 times harder to focus with a tired mind than when you have a focused one. 

I'm out of time,

have a wonderful week!
