So, first things first....
A**** GOT BAPTIZED YESTERDAY!!!!!!(:
So there was that. It was so amazing and such a spiritual
experience for everyone who was there. It just amazes me how much God really
does prepare these people. A**** looked beautiful in all white and I love that
she made the decision to receive her first saving ordinance of baptism(:
M****** gets baptized on Saturday so keep praying for her as well!!(:
Another cool thing, I held a black chicken named Jellybean
on my lap during a lesson when we went on exchanges this past week.
We were tracting and WE SAW A BEAR!!! scariest thing of my
life. granted, we were tractin' up in the boons, but seriously, we were talking
to this guy at the door and he was like, "oh look, there's a bear. be
careful" and we turn around and across the street in the neighbors yard
there was a bear!!! a little black bear, but that scared me even more because
where there's a cub, there's a mama. so we didn't let it phase us, we kept
tracting but we kept a close eye out. don't worry mom and dad, i was
"watching my back" (: Then that same guy we were talking to told us
he didn't believe in God and then there was a mosiquoto on my leg so i swatted
it off and the guy looked at me and said "did you just kill that?"
and i said "uhh.. yeah?" and he said "that was one of God's
creatures. and you just took it's life." but he told us that HE DIDN'T
BELIEVE IN GOD LIKE TWO SECONDS EARLIER. so that was a really bizarre
conversation.
Okay, so back to the serious stuff. I had a breakdown on
Thursday. but it wasn't even for myself! It was because I was so sad for
everyone that had rejected the gospel that day. I was sad because they kept
rejecting the one thing that can make them truly happy in this life and in
eternity. and i just got sad. so i cried. and cried. and then i realized that
satan had taken the charity I had and made it into discouragment and
hopelessness for others souls! so then i stopped being sad, said a prayer, and
now I'm fine! thank goodness for spiritual revelation! The Atonement is real.
and people truly can be saved by coming unto Christ.
I love you all so much(: have a wonderful week and live the
gospel to the fullest!(:
love always, Sister Brittany Larsen(:
