We got put into a trio, Elder Anderson is joining us for the next 2 weeks as he recovers from his cyst removal surgery. We had to pack all our stuff and move rooms which was kinda annoying. Being in a trio is so hard honestly. I keep losing one or the other and trying to accommodate everyone is SO hard. But we got through the week.
Word of the Week: Nagluto ako (I'm cooked)
ESPN TOP 10 highlights of the week:
10. Someone got sick in the shower this week. Safe to say I can never shower in that bathroom ever again.
9. Someone in our district got half their clothes taken from the laundry room, knocked on every door but hasn't been able to track them down.
8. The chocolate milk is deceiving. Each bottle is 2 servings, 250 calories a serving. I had 3 bottles in one day.
7. It was President Nelson's 100th birthday, that's so crazy that he's been able to live this long and still be functioning and seeming to do well.
6. Tuesday we went to the temple and did endowments, I was fighting for my life to stay awake. I felt pretty bad about it but I was so tired.
5. We did practice teaching and taught about who God is, the atonement, and prayer. It was our best lesson yet and we were pretty proud of how it went.
4. We bore testimonies in tagalog and are supposed to give our first lesson fully in tagalog by this next week.
3. Elder Gong spoke to us on Tuesday about drawing closer to Jesus Christ and how companionships can be super powerful. Luckily me and my kasama (companion) are tight so we've got that down.
2. We woke up at 4 AM to go to Elder Anderson's surgery and it went well but, my sleep schedule was destroyed. I did get to study a ton at the hospital though.
1. I was able to give my very first priesthood blessing to an Elder in my district. It was a super cool experience and I felt pretty in tune with the spirit.
Spiritual Thought:
2 Nephi 26:27
"Hath he commanded any that they should not partake of his salvation? Behold I say unto you, Nay; but he hath given it free for all men; and he hath commanded his people that they should persuade all men to repentance."
Salvation is free to all. Jesus wants everyone to come unto him and repent of their sins, because this is the reason He performed the atonement. It costs nothing but sincerity of heart and real intent, and the Lord has his arm stretched forth to any and all. He will turn none away and His atonement is infinite and covers all. I'm so grateful to be able to repent of my sins and be forgiven through Jesus Christ! Without Christ's atonement nothing would matter and we'd be forced to pay the price of our sins, but since God is so merciful and wants us all to return to Him, he provided the one and only way back.
