With Olsi |
Saw this poor little guy so I thought I'd write him a pick me up:) |

Then on Saturday our friend Olsi
got baptized! It was a great baptism. The Spirit was so strong! It was amazing.
Then it was one of the senior missionary here's birthday so after the baptism
we were planning on having a little party at his house for his birthday but
then like everyone from the baptism came! They don't have that big of an
apartment so it was packed! (and smelt like BO) ha but it was a lot of
fun.
Okay now for a more Spiritual side of the email here is a
really cool experience I had; About 4 weeks ago we were in church singing the
song "I need the every hour" And the Spirit really made me feel the
truthfulness of that song. It was kind of those moments where it all clicks,
and I realized I DO need my Savior, every day, every hour, every second! I
thought even though I am a missionary and I have the Holy Ghost that I still
feel that I need him more and more in my life. Then it really hit me that it
isn't just me that needs him, it is everyone! Every single person needs The
Savior of the world every day, hour and second. So that night I prayed harder
than I ever had before, and every day that week I would pray so much throughout
the week that I could be closer to him and have His Spirit more. And I really
was striving in every testimony to have the Spirit so that people could truly
feel my testimony that they need the Savior every hour. So that was a really
cool experience. Then last Saturday, Olsi at his baptism bore his testimony and
he talked about how his first Sunday coming to church, (4 weeks ago) he heard
the song "I need the every hour" And the Spirit powerfully testified
to him the truthfulness of that song as well. Then he shared that he felt the
same Spirit over and over as he read the Book of Mormon and met with us. It was
a real testimony builder that the Spirit of the Lord reached out to both me and
Olsi. He helped me to be ready and worthy to help Olsi feel the Spirit more,
and He helped Olsi recognize it and know it is true. I am so grateful for the
help the Spirit is in this work. I know without a doubt this is the work of the
Lord. I know God cares about us so much and he knows and watches over each and
every one of us.
Really cool amphitheater |
I think olive trees are so cool |
Have a great week!!
