Alright, so like I said, I don't have much time cuz my district is about to have a nurf battle of the century and the Hermanas are totally going to win. (Also they're playing nertz right now *ie wacky sixes* and I'm totally missing out on beating everybody.)
This week was AWESOME!!!!!
So much to say so little time!
Valentine's Day was pretty great. I sang my comp a song for comp study... it was pretty romantic. She asked me if I'd be her Valentine and I told her I'd never let her out of my sight all day. We're so funny. Anyway, our district leader called us up and said that there was a less active sister that was on bed rest because her pregnancy was at high risk, in his area but he couldn't see her cuz... well he's an elder. So we biked clear over to who knows where and just talked to this AWESOME sister. She seriously was so cool. She just told us all about her life and her conversion story and it was great. Then Hna Pimentel talked to her while I went and did the dishes. Her kids followed me into the kitchen and wanted to help. So me and a six year old girl and a three year old boy did the dishes! It was so fun. It made me want to be a mom so bad one day. The little boy would dry the dishes and after he was done he would yell "IT'S CLEEEEEEAN!!" It was so cute!
Alex got baptized on Saturday! It was SO great and the Spirit was SO strong. There weren't very many people there cuz it was kinda last minute. But! It was perfect just how it was. He was so nervous. But everything went great. After his baptism me, my comp, and the sisters from a different ward sang "If you could Hie to Kolob/ Nearer my God to thee" and just looked over at Alex and he was just crying! It was so sweet. Afterwards I went up to him and asked him how he felt and he just barried his head in his jacket and was bawling. He's just like "I just feel so good!" Then one of the other Hermanas in our ward was like "Alex, do you know why out of all the people in their area they found you? ... Because Heavenly Father wanted YOU to know how much he loves YOU." Ah! The worth of a soul. It seriously made me think about how Heavenly Father is so aware of us and he loves us completely and perfectly even though we don't always feel it or recognize it. His love is the same no matter where we are or how loved we feel. He loves us so deeply and so perfectly. I love that. Alex is an amazing kid and he is going to be an amazing member and missionary one day.
I know that the church is true!!! I know that the Lord loves us so much and is so aware of us! I know that we can learn A TON from the scriptures and I know that if we trust in the Lord He'll never let us down.
I love you forever!!!!!!
