WEEK #47 - Baptism of Angela!!

Lot of crazy stuff this week, buckle up! :)

I found a Christmas present under the tree... in June!

Monday: June 8th
So happy. :) Today we got to have pday! We played a lot (like a lot) of chess... haha, I love chess. What a goof game. We got to teach Stayven the Plan of Salvation using my mom's awesome laminated people! It went really well. We are excited for his baptism on June 29th!

Don't watch me, I'm doing laundry

Tuesday: June 9th
We had in person District council again. So weird that I have to specify that it was "in person" haha. Me and Elder Samojla then got on a BIG meeting with the area presidency and missionary department. It was an awesome meeting, all the social media specialists from North America were there. We met Angela again at the church and she passed her baptismal interview! She is so ready and so excited. She's come a long way!!

Wednesday: June 10th
Today was packed! We had meetings every 30 minutes. Definitely a crazy day, we have no breaks and trained probably 4/7 Zones from the mission about facebook individually. Good stuff though!

I sleep...

Thursday: June 11th
The facebook team gave another training. I think all I do is train people now... I should buy some training wheels for everyone here. :) Me and Elder Samojla worked more on the Facebook Initiative and then we taught Nick again! He understood everything and we had such a real talk. I have so much respect for him, he's been waiting for this opportunity to talk with us for a long time. Inviting him to come closer to our Savior Jesus Christ is such a wonderful experience as you can literally SEE people's lives change as they repent and become better. May we ever do that in our OWN life, and strive to follow Him! :) Sometimes the greatest joy is seeing the change in yourself <3

Look at all this stuff!

Friday: June 12th
Today was ALL DAY CLEANING DAY!!! I have never been more excited to clean in my life. We threw out EIGHT trash bags worth of stuff. It was terrible. So much cleaning... it felt good afterwards though.

I clean...

We met with Angela and finalized her baptism for tomorrow! Then we met with the MTC representative and talked about running more ads through facebook. I feel like an FBI agent sometimes, just working on campaigns and operatives all the time, haha! :)

Saturday: June 13th
Angela's baptism day!! It was a great day. We had to buy ski gloves for her to wear cause she's allergic to latex gloves. The Spirit was very strong and warm. We only had 9 people there again cause the restrictions. It's been long and hard for sure, too many details to include. But it all paid off. I never knew when it would, but it did. The Lord understands our righteous desires, compensating blessings DO come. Trust <3

Angela's Baptism! Peace signs :)

Angela's family!

Sunday: June 14th
FUNNY STORY:
Today I saw a spider on my desk... it dropped from its web and landed near me. I smacked it with my flip flops and yelled, "Even though you're smaller than a penny, I wasn't scared!!" We have some good laughs over here... haha! ;) Nick went to church out in Utah and apparently got up and bore his testimony! He's such a stud. We had a good facebook live focused on our Savior Jesus Christ and His teachings, you should check it out!

Thank you everyone. I hope these emails bring joy, laughter, and peace. I love you all.

Love,
Elder LaRose
