Jesus Dance Jesus Dance

 Look who's back, back again!!! 


This week was full of miracles!!! We had a lesson with Deserae and Pamela and put both of them on date for baptism!!!
Now, just because they are on date doesn't mean it's a baptism in the bucket... butttt it was still such a big step for them to accept that invitation!!!

When we first started meeting with Deserae she would start her prayers by saying "God" or "Dear Lord" but now she says "Dear Heavenly Father" and addresses Him by that throughout her prayers!!!! 
She is literally so tender! 

This week we had MLC down in Biloxi!! 
El Dorado is at the top left corner of the mission and Biloxi is at the bottom right corner of the mission!!! 
So that means 7 HOUR DRIVES BABYYY! 
We left Friday, had MLC Saturday and then headed home right after that!! 
Wayyyy too much driving.

MLC was such a cool experience!! 
Elder Neilson from the Presidency of the Seventy came and shared with us some pretty cool stuff!! 
He showed us how the Church has grown from the first 6 people to the MILLIONS of people now! 
There was a video that is only shown in Fayette, New York that shows the growth of the church that he showed and it was so cool to see!!! 

We also talked about discipleship and conversion and how to know if you truly are converted!! 
Alma 23:7-8 gives a great example! 
As we lay down our weapons of war and submit our will to the Fathers cheerfully we will see the blessings rain down on us! 

Love you all!!

We back babyyy!  This week did a whole lotta bikin thats for sure!!!  At least we have unlimited miles 😎 We have been working alot with inactive members because there are SO MANY of them here in this town it's crazy!!!  We've had some funny experiences with some of them!  We went and visited James who got baptized back in the 80's but a week after he decided he is part of a different religion?!?!  Asked him where he stood rn and he said he be a Jedi-ite! It's exactly what you are thinking right now... he believes that there is a force which has a light side and a dark side!  I was mind blown!!! I was just trying to be respectful and not laugh because truly that is the most pathetic thing I have heard on my mission!!!  We texted another member and asked how he was doing and he goes "not good. I just lost all my life's savings betting on college football last night and my cat died"  Oh...  Continues on to ask if he can get his tithing back......
