Ay Bendito

Ay bendito!

Cristaly was baptized... That was a miracle and a half. I have never seen someone so cranky accept the gospel in that way, but all I know is we couldn't have done it without the Lord and Elder Donaldson's face (she has a crush on him). No, but in all seriousness, Cristin's daughter had a very nice baptism, and the Lord truthfully helped us a lot with that.

We had a really cool exchange, me and Elder Clayson, and we found a super cool goat named Milton. We pray it keeps going well with him.

We went to a random gated neighborhood to knock on some doors, and usually, we could get in because there is a lady that opens and closes the gate for the visitors. At least, that's the case with most neighborhoods. Unfortunately, there was no lady to talk to, and then we went to click the little keypad, and we couldn't get in, so we went to another neighborhood. Same thing. So, I got out to back up my comp, and I go, "Dang, we just wanted to find souls here," and the gate opened. There was no one there, no one in sight, just opened. I don't know how (God), that's the answer.

I hit 1 year this week. It was cool to be 1 year old, fisher of men.

I believe Joseph Smith is a prophet. Nothing more. He didn't write the book; he translated it with the power of God. And really, you have to read it and pray about it to understand and gain a testimony. That's exactly what I did. Yes, I sustain Joseph Smith as a prophet of God. This is the same Church Jesus established in the Bible. It's not that crazy. At the end of the day, it all falls back to the Book of Mormon because if it's true, which it is, and God will prove it, there's a promise in the end. And I took that promise, and I know it's true, and I love it. This is the true Church with all the blessings that Jesus Christ wants us to have!

Dang, I wish people would just understand why this is true and take the time to find out, like me and millions of others. Sometimes it's so frustrating because it's true. It's true. It's just true. I can't explain it, but it is just true.
