So this last week was good and also not so good haha
First to start off, Elder Jensen rolled his ankle during our zone conference and it swelled up super bad and we had to get an xray on it. It wasnt broken but we had to sit inside for 2 days while he iced it and rested it. So that was great haha sitting inside sucks.
And then to top it all off I received another phone call during the week from Elder Kaegi, one of my previous companions, and he informed me that another one of my recent converts had died. S J, the 13 year old that we baptized... He was in the bathroom of his middle school and a group of boys beat him up so bad that he was unconscious, and when they took him to the hospital they had the Elders come over and give him a blessing and when they finished he passed away. I feel so bad for his family. We also baptized his 14 year old brother. The funeral is tomorrow morning at 10 but I wont be attending. I didnt ask President if I could go I just felt like I should stay here. But this has made me continue to appreciate the plan of salvation so much. The reunion in Heaven with the people I have been able to teach and baptize will be so great. This is why I love my mission. I love being able to know that heavenly Father trusted me enough to teach his children and bring them into his true church.
L and her daughter A are still set for being Baptized in a week and a half! We taught them the word of wisdom yesterday and L was like, "I dont have a problem with anything on here so Im good " haha she is so great. We are just praying that she doesnt have her baby before the baptism. Shes about 8 months pregnant and she supossed to have the baby early. So please pray that everything goes smooth up to the baptism.
Love you all!!
