Lexie - June 8, 2015

It was an AMAZING week. We had a zone conference that completely changed how I look at everything and I have been so happy all week. It amazed me everything that happened. This week we extended more baptism invitations than I ever have in one week. We also recieved an amazing and immediate blessing from fasting yesterday and finally have a baptism date set in stone! His name is Jesus and his baptism will be in 3 weeks. He is super excited and so receptive.


This week while I was studying I realized something really simple but something that helped me with my work this week. I was studying about promised blessings. For every commandment and everything that we do in the gospel there is a blessing that God promises us, and we know from the scriptures that God is bound when we do what he asks. So I started thinking about the blessings that the members had recieved for doing the family game that we did last week and I realized something. The things that were hard on the calender were the things that the families didnt complete and even though the felt happy and blessed for the things that they did complete, just think about all the blessings they missed out on. I know God always blesses us, even for the little things that we do right, but we really are cutting ourselves short if we dont do everything that we can. I read a scriptrure in DyC 1:37 and realized that I need to look for more things to change in my life to be better so that I can receive the blessings that God has prepared for me. It really changed how I worked this week, and I feel SO HAPPPY. Which is definately a HUGE BLESSING!


That is about how the week went. My favorite shoes are finally dying so I am going to see If I can find some others the same color today. Ill send a picture of the sad reality. ALSO I have showered in HOTT WATER all week! What a blessing! Makes me soooooo happy! That and we got to eat pozole twice this week! Once was with the converts in the ward. I cant wait for you to meet them some day. They are WONDERFUL! And they are grandparents and just seem like they have been members their whole life. They make me want to be better! I love you tons mom! Thank you for your email and I hope that you have an amazing week! Guess what, I just finished 50 weeks in Mexico! Crazy huh!
