Week 22

 This week was another great week!


In our 4 man apartment we've been talking some deep thoughts, we were talking about why we are serving missions and why we are going to stay in the church our whole lives.  

My answer to the question,  Why am I serving a mission is:   I am serving a mission because the gospel has changed my life.  And I owe everything to the Lord because he has blessed me tremendously in more ways than I can count, so I am more than happy to give 2 years of my life to the Lord and give everything to him. Also in my short 4 months of being in this country I have seen a good amount of people change their lives through the gospel, and as it says in DnC 18: 15,16 my joy is beyond measure to see souls come unto Christ.

That leads me into the question, Why will I stay in the church for the rest of my life?
My answer to that is, because of the way the gospel makes me feel, and what it has done for me in my life.
Reading the scriptures, praying everyday and keeping the commandments has brought me a different type of joy that I couldn't find anywhere else.  And as I keep trying to live a cleaner life with Jesus at my foundation, I simply feel happier. 
And this happiness only comes from Jesus Christ.  So why would I want to leave that?!

Anyways, the Magician that we met the other day came to church and he loved it!
He said that he can't wait for next Sunday to go again.

We had a really good lesson with our friend Calmin,  we've been reading the Book of Mormon together and she already has the strongest testimony.  Her family is very cool too and they love to listen to our messages but the only problem is that they are all super super Catholic and they all grew up Catholic.  And they are not all quite convinced that we have the true church.  But she is reading BOM everyday and I know the Holy Ghost will touch her heart and help her to make covenants with the Lord through baptism.  It's all on the Lord's time.

Other than that, great week and looking forward to the next!

deuces, Elder LaBass

   This is gonna be a long one... This week was very busy.. Monday was pretty normal.  Tuesday we had Zone Conference and I got to direct the meeting which was pretty cool.   Wednesday we had Zone Council. My companion and I taught our zone about the things we learned in MLC last week.  After that we had exchanges with La Victoria. I went with Elder Mortensen. Lit exchange, we had fun out there.   Thursday we exchanged back and we had some really long morning lessons.  We didn't get back  until 2pm  (lunch is  from 12-2:30 ). So we only had lunch for 20 minutes until we had to go to work again. Later that night the APs text us and tell us that the President wanted to do MLC AGAIN on Friday.   It was a pretty good MLC. We made good plans for our Zone. Then Pres bought us all Wendys🤝. Pres left early from The meeting and all of us debated about changing P-day and weekly planning day. It was pretty dope. We got bac...

  Wepa! Lots of contacting this week A lot of our old friends that were progressing towards baptism stopped progressing.  So that sucks.  But it's ok because we found a few diamonds in the rough this week!   Thanks to everybody who wished me a happy birthday last week it really meant a lot to me!  This birthday was really good.  I ate a dozen krispy kreme donuts and some hamburgers🙌🙌. We got robbed again!!  Homie just keeps playing with us.  This time he took my phone and some other stuff from the other missionaries.  That's the 4th time this has happened lol. Ricardo could not get baptized this week but we're getting there!! I took a bunch of  pictures this week but the phone got robbed so they got lost. We're going to the temple this week!
