LIGHTtheWORLD

​It was an awesome week here. Elder Taylor made his rounds in saying goodbye to all of the members here in the area. We had transfers come Wednesday and I got my new companion and he got all settled in. We saw a couple people that night and were able to see Dustyn and prep him for his baptism.

For the rest of the week, we found a new investigator and she wants to get baptized and will probably happen next month. Her dad dad is active and told us he really didn't know why he didn't baptize her when she turned 8 but she is ready now and cant wait for it to happen.

We had Dustyn's baptism on Saturday night and a whole bunch of people and it was really a good program. His step dad was able to baptize him and the spirit was so strong.  He will be a good member in his ward and will hopefully get the priesthood next Sunday and will be able to pass the sacrament. 

 Other than that, my new companion and I are working super well together. He's been out for 14 months and is quiet but is able to teach really powerful and with the spirit. i think this will be a good transfer. Thanks for all the support you give me! As we celebrate the thanks giving holiday, let us all remember what we are thankful for.

Alma 34:38 
"That 
ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ;that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many
 mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you."

Go out and serve those around you this holiday season. When we serve others, we are serving our Heavenly Father. Look for those opportunities to serve those around you just as Christ would if he was here. The church is true and God and His son, Jesus Christ live! 

A new Christmas initiative is coming out this Friday, so go check out the new video and ways you can serve on mormon.org/christmas
