So, this week was BUSY. Monday night we didn't get home till about 10. Elder Ruiz called me saying he was sick. So we dropped what we were doing, ran to the store, bought him some meds, ran to his house, and gave him a blessing. After we got home, I sent out a mass text to the district asking them to pray for Elder Ruiz to get better enough to work the next day. Miracles are real. Tuesday, I called him, and he didn't even sound sick anymore, and he hasn't had any symptoms since. Gotta love the power of prayer.
Tuesday, we were able to go to the temple with Brianna to do baptisms for the dead. She LOVED it. of course, I just cried the whole time. haha
that night, we had Stake Correlation and the ZL's had a lesson at the same time, so we split up. I went to correlation with Elder Mariluch and Elder McKenna went with Elder Hardy. After we got back home, Elder McKenna told me of some concerns he has with his ability to teach, and not feeling like he is reaching his full potential, we talked for a good 2 hours, and I gave him a blessing.
Wednesday, we did a training at zone meeting, and Elder McKenna did an amazing job.
Thursday we did service literally all day. painting, and carpeting a house.
Friday, we were able to go to the temple as a zone... my last zone temple trip:(. But it was still amazing:) Friday night, I had an interview with an investigator that is getting baptized. She was having second thoughts, as they always do. We were able to give her a blessing and do the interview. It was really weird, I felt like a bishop, her telling me all the things she needs to work on, and me giving her advice and tools she can use to overcome the issues. I love helping people on a more personal level. I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
Saturday, I went on exchanges with Elder Muench. His companion and he are not getting along the greatest, and don't seem to have the work ethic that needs to exist in this setting. Anyway, we will be working closely with them this next week to improve the situation.
I think that's all I have for this week! Here's the quote of the week!
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore
I love all of you! remember, when it rains, remember where the rain comes from:) Keep on keepin on! -Elder Taylor Alston
