Hey everyone! If nobody has told you yet today, God Loves You! He is there for you and he can work miracles in your life.
This week has been really good! We had Molly's baptism and it went so well! She showed up an hour early and tons of people showed up. We also had 3 nonmembers there and some less active members that came as well so that was super cool. The spirit was super strong and I know that everyone felt it.
At the beginning of the week we were really struggling to find people. We go to campus most mornings and talk to people there and we can usually find people, but it just wasn't working. We also had a few lessons with people fall through and it was kind of a bummer. But God provides and Thursday we were able to talk to a bunch of people that were interested. We also met this cool guy named Daud online. He is Christian, but has been looking for a church to join here in Omaha. He was pretty excited about the Book of Mormon!
And Sarah is doing well. Somehow she heard about fast Sunday and decided to fast even though she shouldn't have because of her health. She was super concerned because she didn't want to choose between the church and her health, but we were able to clear things up for her! She has been reading a lot of conference talks and is excited about the church! We taught her twice this last week.
And I think that's about it for this week! Something that I've been thinking about this week is the Sacrament and how important it is. And I've been thinking about what life would be like without the sacrament. Without the sacrament we wouldn't be able to truly repent and have a fresh start. We would forever have to bear the burden of everything that we've done wrong. But Christ can free us from the weight of our sins if we let him, and if we truly repent of our sins. And we have that opportunity every week! So my invitation to you all is this next week to really think about what the sacrament does for you, and give thanks to God for it! Have a fantastic week!
