What a week!! Friday and Saturday were the best though!
So I got Elder Dahlke on Wednesday. he's from Tennessee, he lives close to Nashville. He has been out for about 3 months and he is already accepted into BYU when he gets back and after that he’s going to go into the Air Force to be some type of physicist. So the guy is smart!
Wednesday was also a very interesting day because we didn’t ride our bikes. On Monday last week, Elder Dahlke got in to a bike accident and riding a bike was making his arm hurt a lot so we walked. I haven’t walked that much since LIB. We got a text from President that asked if we were walking, we said yes and then we had to call him... let’s just say we rode a bike the next day.
Friday we went to the Doctor’s, finally. Elder Dahlke is now in a cast half way to his shoulder... so biking is still a little interesting with him. He fractured the radial head in his arm. It’s really funny. He can’t button his top button so I have to do that for him. And he can’t tie is tie, so I do that also! Hahaha, he just looks away in shame.
But that night was AWESOME!!! We got to go to the Jordan River Temple!! It was just what I needed. I love going there and it’s been a long time since going. The amount of peace I felt there was amazing. It was also really nice to get away from the world for a little while.
Saturday! Saturday was awesome! Jani N. was baptized!!! Before the service she was very scared. Her parents and grandparents were coming and they weren’t completely thrilled with this decision of hers. So she was just very scared and nervous about all of it. I understand why though. The baptism went really smoothly and the Spirit was so strong. It literally felt like you could cut it with a knife. While she was changing Elder Dahlke and I did a little message. We showed a video called "Lifting Burdens." It talks about how we can draw strength from the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know that the Atonement can change lives. (here is a link to that video: https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2009-10-38-lifting-burdens?lang=eng)
Sunday was a crazy busy day. We were running from meeting to meeting. It was really fun though. Once church was all done we had a good dinner and then had another 2 lessons that night. Being a missionary is so much fun. You are constantly busy. So much fun!!!
This work is so rewarding. We see how the Gospel of Christ can change people. We are teaching a girl from Elko Nevada and she going to be baptized hopefully next weekend!!
I hope all of you are having a great thanksgiving month!! I challenge you all to think of some of the blessings that you receive daily, and then to thank our Father in Heaven for them.
