Monday was a really fun day, we went to speedball in the morning, then after that we went to fat cats to bowl with a bunch of missionaries for free and play pool.
Tuesday, we taught Kaiden the last lesson he needed to be baptized. We brought a deacon his age to the lesson, so that he could be fellowshipped into the ward. It went really well, and he was super excited to be baptized.
Wednesday was a crazy day to say the least... After district meeting, we went to some church in Ogden to help feed the homeless. While there, there was this one man about 30 years old, that would NOT stop following me. He kept trying to hug me, and mess with my hair. When I told him he can't hug me anymore, he got mad and tried picking me up a bunch of times. He's way bigger than me, so I couldn't do anything about it. My companion tried saving me, but he couldn't. The guy had some sort of disability, but I was getting so mad and uncomfortable. He later got kicked out, finally. Then, more craziness happens! This old lady there randomly passed out on the floor, and everyone was freaking out. They called the ambulance and everything. Was a very odd service... We finished the night good though, got to grill out with all the youth in the 6th ward!
Thursday, we went to do some more service on Hill Air Force base at the thrift shop. Later that night, we got Kaiden interviewed for his baptism, so he is ready to go!
Friday, we had our regular huddle and weekly planning. The rest of the day, we did some finding, because we are running out of people to teach. We once again had no luck... So, we're praying. That night, we helped someone move a fridge out of their house, and when they took us home they bought us Burger King! It was super good, because we had a small dinner that night. The members here are so nice!
Saturday was the best day of it all! Kaiden got baptized!! It was the most spiritual baptism I have ever been to. Everyone was crying. Kaiden’s best friend Austin, gave a talk on baptism, and he got super emotional, so that led to everyone else crying. When they were changing, I did the 4-minute restoration message for all the non-members there, I think it went pretty well. After the baptism, there was a bunch of food, and we played a little basketball in the gym.
Sunday, I got to confirm Kaiden a member of the church in sacrament meeting! It was a lot less nerve racking the 2nd time around, and it was a really good day. His whole family was there, and sacrament meeting was packed! Later that night, we taught Jayla and Nesha again.
That’s my update for this week. Hope all is going well at home! Miss you all, have a good week.
