Hope you all had the best week ever! Best week every out here in the heartland. We got a lot of things done and saw so many miracles! Monday night we drove down to Wichita and we had a meeting in person and it was super good! And then my companion and I got to stay at my old apartment in Wichita with my MTC companion which was super fun! Then Tuesday we had MLC all day long! It was so good! We have this new term in the mission called "leaning forward" which basically means that we are always trying to think of better ways to do things. The term comes from a runner who in order to run his fastest leans forward. (I mean I don't really know all that much about running but that's how it was explained haha) and we talked a lot about what we could do to change and become better. It was such a good meeting with so much revelation that was received! It was awesome! It was also an emotional roller coaster because it was Prez Bell's last MLC which was really sad, but thank goodness this is the Lord's work!
Then we had a few other meetings that we had throughout the rest of the week, we had Stake Coordination with President Avrett who is the stake president here in Topeka! Such a good guy. and then zone training which was super fun! We got to go on exchanges with Elder Mitchell, who is my old comp from Manhattan! That was a blast! A member even took us to Texas Roadhouse! Then we saw a super big miracle! We have been working with this family that recently got married but we haven't been able to contact them in a while. Saturday night we stopped by and two kids were there that we never saw before. Turns out they are her kids from another marriage and they are solid! They came to church yesterday and they are getting baptized on the 25th! They are so solid. After church yesterday they both said they were excited for next week. The ward was so good to them too! It was definitely a miracle!!! This week I also had the opportunity to baptize somebody and it was such an amazing experience! I love the power of the priesthood and am always so amazed that the power of God really is manifest in the ordinances of the priesthood!
This week President Bell told us that every single day we should wake up and "Choose Joy, Choose Faith, and Choose to Expect the Impossible" The spirit testified super strong that nothing is impossible with Christ. We are all are made to do impossible things because we are children of a God! As we rely on him he can take us places that we could never get alone! He wants us to be happy, to believe in him and miracles will happen! He will make impossible things come to pass! I am so thankful for the blessing it is to serve in Kansas!
