The weather was bearable this week, it was around 27-28 ish (80-82F). And 2 weeks ago, I probably would have said that was way too hot but it felt good after the last little bit. So many people comment about us having to wear pants and how that would be too hot. I agree with them.
We were able to teach Anastasia this week, she is the 7 year old girl that is going to get baptized in August. She is super sweet and mature for her age. Her great-grandma is a member of the church but her great-grandpa isn't. He has been coming to church for 40 years, but still hasn't been baptized. President Ballard came and met with him when he was mission president. So this guy has been through the missionaries but last Thursday we were driving by so we stopped in and asked if we could do some service for them. We weeded their garden and cleaned up their lawn. While we were doing this we talked to them about the gospel and were able to ask him some questions. Sunday they came up to us and invited us over for more service and dinner. Who knows if it will go far, but slowly but surely he is warming up.
I was studying about the purpose of our life on earth the last couple of days, and it was pretty cool. One thing that stuck out to me is that with satan's plan coming to earth and being forced to make the right decisions, we would have learned nothing and gone back up to heaven the same as we came down. But thankfully we all chose the Savior's plan to come to earth, to learn and grow while we make mistakes and make the right decisions. I am super grateful to have chosen this plan, it really is the Plan of Happiness and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to live with my family forever.
We sang Oh Canada and the Star Spangled Banner in district meeting this week, Oh Canada is so much easier to sing hahaha.
