Teach Repentance, Baptize Converts

Such a good week here in the Utah Layton Mission! Seriously so much happened so stay tuned. You're gonna wanna read this one. First off, Keigan got baptized!! Another sneak peak - we went on splits with President Call... Anyway! Here's how the week went:

Last Monday we just did the regular thing and hung out almost all pday. We went to rush fun plex, which honestly is one of the coolest places I've been to. They have bowling, mini golf, foam pit, Lazer tag, and a ton of other things. To say it was fun is an understatement. Unfortunately, I lost to Elder Fuller by 1 stroke in mini golf. I beat Elder Emry though! πŸ˜‚ It's all good though, cause I won in bowling πŸ‘Monday night we went to a YSA activity and they had some actors from the movie Ephraims Rescue there. I haven't seen the movie, but they talked about it and it seems great! Check out the photo below.

Tuesday was the least entertaining day. We deep cleaned our apartment and watched Elder Emry pack almost all day. I'll miss that guy a ton! That night we made some part member family visits.

Wednesday we went up to the office to drop off Elder Emry :( Sad day, but he will do great in Clinton West! After that I went to the DMV and got a Utah license. Later that day we helped one of our investigators serenity rake her yard. That night we had a Q&A with the youth of one of the wards we cover, and then played some basketball with them. We were out tracting that night and came across an older lady who wanted a blessing, so I was able to give her a blessing.

Thursday we had district meeting and it was all about Christ-like attributes. We did a self-assessment and I realized how much I suck at being Christ-like. Later that day we did an interview for a little girl that some Elders in our Zone were baptizing the following weekend. We also had a lesson with Truman and we read through some of the Book of Mormon with him. We committed him to pray about it and he said he will. He's so awesome.  That night a literal miracle happened. We were out hitting some of the unbaptized list in our YSA Ward and we came across this girl named Chi, who is mung. I have no idea where that is except I know it's somewhere in Asia. We invited her to be baptized and she agreed, and we later found out that there is 18 people in her family living in that house! So please pray that they will all be interested πŸ˜πŸ˜‚

Friday was basically just weekly planning until dinner. Weekly planning takes so much longer now that I'm a Zone leader because not only do we have to plan for our investigators in our area, but we also have to plan for each individual companionship in our Zone and how to help them about ties each month. So to say it's a long planning session is an understatement! But that evening I got to go out on splits with Cameron (formerly Elder Hutchison my first zone leader and then AP) and it was super fun!

Saturday was the most eventful day by far! First off, Keigan got baptized! Many people were in attendance, and the spirit was very strong. I'm glad to have been able to teach him! Now it's time to work on his brother a little bit more. That night, was just so crazy. Our new Mission president, President Call wanted to come out on splits with us. So we made sure we set up some good appointments that night, that way we weren't just sitting around with him. We went and talked to Truman about the word of wisdom, followed by teaching Chelsea our recent convert about personal revelation. Both lessons went very well and President Call is such a stud! I can't wait to work with him more.

Sunday was not very exciting so I'll skip it ;)

That's all I got this week. Love you all and have a good week!
