Un Poco Loco

It seems like a ton has happened this week and it's been crazy!  Yesterday we got a call and the ward wanted us to help with an 8 year old's baptism.  We said we would gladly help and they said they would let us know what we needed to do.  We showed up to the baptism 10 minutes before it was supposed to start and all the lights were off and nobody there.  Apparently they wanted us to do literally everything!! So we hurried and set up the room, started filling the font, and creating a program.  They had not even called people to speak so we just started asking people that were there if they could help us and speak or say a prayer. 😂😂 For as rushed as it was, it went really well!  

When we plan everyday we decide what we want our goals to be and what we want to accomplish in the day.  We decided that we were going to talk to two people who wanted us to come back and teach them.   Then we left and went on with our day.  In a few blocks we realized that my companion did not have his backpack and it was in the other Elder's car.  the problem was that his phone was also in his bag so we had no way to contact them and get it back or get a ride home in the evening.  Then we looked up and saw some members walking down the street.  We went over and asked if we could use their phone.  After we got the phone back we went on our way.  On the way we saw someone outside and started to talk with them.  We talked with them for an hour and shared a really good message with them.  They were all super down to have us come back and teach them but unfortunately they do not live in our area so we had to send them as a referral.  We went on with our day and then as the day was about to end we went to Walmart to wait for the other Elders to come pick us up. As we were waiting we decided to talk to this guy outside.  I went up to him and asked him how his day was.  We continued to talk for a few minutes and he asked us if we could help him because he has really been struggling.  Unfortunately he also does not live in our area so we had to send him as a referral also but that's okay.  I learned that when we make goals to the Lord He provides a way for them to be accomplished. 1 Nephi 3:7

We also had a youth activity this week that we went to and helped with.  Our goal has also been to get to know the people in our ward here better so this was a great opportunity for that!  We got there and there was a bonfire going.  The person's house it was at had a bunch of tress he had cut down that he wanted to burn.  He decided to light them up in the empty lot he owned next to his house under a tree next to another tree next to his house... Long story short we started using a hose pretty soon so that the tree didn't burn more then it was 😂.  We had a super awesome time with the youth in the ward!
