The Spirit of God (2nd baptism! )

Cleaning the font :)

It was such a miraculous week!! I just love this work so much :) 

On Monday we were able to visit a cute member family in our ward and share a fhe lesson about scripture study. We had the 10 year old boy brush his teeth with a ton of toothpaste because he "forgot" to do it all week long. He really did not enjoy doing that, but it was very cute to watch :) Brushing your teeth everyday, or reading your scriptures everyday, is a lot more beneficial and enjoyable than just once a week. It was cool to be able to talk about true daily scripture study in our lives. On Tuesday we were able to meet with Karolina to discuss family history. She is so excited to be able to travel to the temple next year. She is such an amazing example to me because of her great faith. She is truly converted and dedicated to serving the Lord, and it is just a testimony to me of how strong the spirit is. She allowed the spirit into her heart and is now taking off! It is such a privilege to witness. 

We were also able to meet with an investigator who is struggling with the word of wisdom. I am super grateful for this commandment from God because of how it prevents so many issues from our lives. She will have a hard time overcoming her addictions, but I know that with God all things are possible. 

On Thursday we met with a very cute family who has met with missionaries in the past. The parents lived in America, and they have three adorable kids. They were so gracious to feed us and allow us to teach a little lesson on service to their girls. They were so cute and loving. It was amazing to see the goodness of this Lithuanian family. There are so many good and loving people here!!!

On Friday we met with an investigator who has a lot of questions about the church. He is very intelectual and taught us that we should not just be reading the scriptures, but studying them. I really liked that aspect! We hope to be able to resolve his concerns through the spirit. On Saturday we prepared some last things for the baptism. We met with Karolina before the baptism and she was so ready! I felt the spirit so strongly. At the baptism there was a great amount of support and love from the members. Everyone was happy and talking and so welcoming to Karolina. Her conversion is directly to Heavenly Father, and it is proof to me that conversion is a miracle and happens from the spirit. The great amount of her faith strengthens mine. On Sunday it was a blessing to witness the gift of the holy ghost being confered. The spirit is such an amazing gift to each of us. That we can always have a member of the godhead with us to help and guide us if we let Him. The spirit is such a necessity everyday to be doing good and staying happy :) I am so grateful for this gift in my life. I know that the spirit will always lead us right and be there to comfort us in times of need. He is the strength of our daily conversion to the Lord. I love you all, have a great week!

So I had sushi for my first time on my 1 year mark to celebrate :) Okay, it wasn't real sushi because there was only rice and avocado in the seaweed roll, so it tasted super yummy :) I would know ;)

Here we are eating the sushi :)
