I'm just going to get right into it with the highlight of the week: JULIO WENT TO THE TEMPLE!! We messaged him Saturday morning to make sure he was still good to go, and he replied and said he was excited! We got to the temple, and he was already there and it was just awesome. It was exactly one year after his baptism, and so while we were waiting, I was just thinking about his whole journey and everything and how cool it is that he was finally able to go to the temple and feel that peace.
After about 20 minutes, we were the next group to go, and the temple worker goes, "So we're going to have him be baptized and then he's going to baptize you." Literally one of the coolest experiences of my whole life. I got to be there for his baptism a year ago, and then he baptized me his first time doing Baptisms for the Dead a year later. You already know we were both crying in the font and it was genuinely just something I will never forget. Best day ever. 🫶
Little highlights:
★ I had my last zone conference!! It was amazing as always, and I got to give my departing testimony. It still doesn't feel very real that I'm leaving so if everyone could keep pretending with me that I don't come home in 3 weeks that'd be awesome. 👍
★ Angel got his patriarchal blessing!! He is genuinely the best and is going to convert all of Las Vegas.
★ Got to see some members from my last area who moved to Spain but then surprised everyone by showing up at night church!! It's so fun to see all the old friends and members.
This week I got an email that I have to write a little memory book and include some of my favorite scriptures and quotes from my mission. President Nielsen used this as some advice during one of my interviews and it's something that's stuck with me since then. It's 3 Nephi 13:34 and it says, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient is the day unto the evil thereof." I was talking with Sister Nielsen the other week, and she told me that we can't change yesterday, we can't predict tomorrow, so the only thing that's left to do is live today. Each day is a new opportunity, so it's important to take advantage and do all that we can.
Have a good week!!
