Hey all! This was a great week!
Yesterday was a busy Sunday! My companion spoke in the English ward and then we both spoke in the Samoan ward. Ernie was confirmed during sacrament and that went great! He also got interviewed for the priesthood and all went well.
Then we had a Samoan baptism for a 9 year old girl and her 8 year old brother. That went well too and there was a great turn out.
We also had other people come to church and they really liked it.
I talked about going through trials with Joy. I love this quote by president Nelson:
“The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.
“When the focus of our lives is on God’s plan of salvation … and Jesus Christ and His gospel, we can feel joy regardless of what is happening—or not happening—in our lives. Joy comes from and because of Him. … For Latter-day Saints, Jesus Christ is joy!
I also shared 1 Nephi chapter 17:1-3 which talk about how Lehi and his family were blessed in their journey for keeping the commandments and they felt joy because of their focus on keeping the commandments of God and staying focused on Jesus Christ. And they were all blessed because they did what God commanded them.
Have a great day and great week! You should all review general conference, it was really great! Love you all!
