This week was just a week for the books!
The best thing was that we had three people accept baptism this week and we are so excited for them. They are truly faithful people that are truly converting themselves to this gospel. This sunday we also had 11 investigators in church! Its always great to see so many unknown faces in the ward!! Something i love about our ward is that everyone is running around talking to everyone who aren't members, even sitting with them so they dont feel uncomfortable its awesome! Something we figured out yesterday is how many inactives their are in our ward, its pretty eye opening! The bummer is that so many of those that don't come as much anymore (inactives) are amazing people that just had one little thing that happened in church and for that one comment, or even glance, they left the church.
It makes me ponder why do we go to church? The truth is, humans are humans. Not everybody is going to have a 24 hour smile and complementing everybody, it would be great!, but its just not like that. We go to church because it is simply true. We go to church to renew our baptismal covenants and to feel the spirit and fill our spiritual canteens for the week. But also in the Book of Moroni it says we go to church to discuss the well being of our souls (moroni 6:5) so if you see somebody thats a little down, talk to them! Here on the earth we have our earthly family and also our family in our heavenly father. I hope we can all try to see eachother as brothers and sisters in the gospel. I love you all and hope we have fantastic weeks!
Oh and with General Conference coming up we all have the opportunity to receive an answer from the Lord. Truly these speakers have been guided by the spirit to speak of things that are meant specifically for us. Please watch conference this weekend! It starts on SATURDAY! Watch all four seessions pleasseeee. I know that President Monson is the prophet of the Lord and is anxious to address us. I love this work and I am so grateful to be a servant in the Lords vineyard!:)
