This week was a good week! Last pday we went to Yonkers and ate at a burger place with the sisters in our district! And played some good old fashion slap jack!
Our friend Malik got baptized this week which was amazing! He was so prepared and ready for this next step! BEST DAY EVER! And one of our friends Ahmad, who we found on my exchange with Sister Robison, came to the baptism! When we found him he was atheist but he now has been trying to pray and loved the baptism! The members here are amazing and made the baptism so special! He also read a poem at his baptism so that was awesome! Haha
Our friend Audrey is also doing well and still preparing for her baptism in December! If you could all continue to pray for her to have strength to overcome the word of wisdom that would be amazing!
I also was able to go on exchanges with Sister Winkel in Yonkers which was a good time! It was the Spanish area so I was hopeless but it was a fun time haha. I tried to street contact someone in Spanish and he said he wasn't interested and after I turned to Sister Winkel and asked if what I said made since and it definitely didn't ahaha but I tried! We also got some yummy tacos!
We also had one of the coolest miracles this week! A few weeks ago when we were street contacting on exchanges we talked to these girls who weren't interested but they gave us their friend named Brennens phone #. We found out he is a sophomore and does Bible studies with friends every Friday night so we joined their Bible study that's run by 2 20 year olds. It was good but not what we expected so we probably won't be going back haha. Just wasn't super effective.
There was a guy we met by the library named Donovan this week who is super cool as well! We originally weren't gonna talk with him because we had somewhere to be, but we did anyway and he said he was wanting to get back into religion. Sadly he didn't come to church but we'll hopefully be able to meet with him soon!
On Sunday Malik got confirmed which was amazing! And our friend Sherwin got the Melchizedek priesthood! He also fed us a 3 course meal on Sunday and it was delicious but sooo much food! We were so full!
Here's a scripture I wanted to share from this week! 2 Nephi 32:9
"9 But behold, I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint; that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in the first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may be for the welfare of thy soul."
We must pray always and include the Lord in all we do so he can consecrate our efforts!
Love you all!
