Well . . . that . . . just . . . sucks. I can’t believe that I missed Boston by two months. TWO FREAKING MONTHS and I would have watched my favorite band of all time play at the USANA. Que bosta. I’m totally jelly. Look, I don’t know when they will be passing through Utah again, but I saw that they have a show scheduled for October 9 in Tokyo. What do you think, Dad—want to catch the first plane out of Salt Lake with me to Tokyo the day I touch down in Utah? I’m totally gone.
Well, while y’all were rocking, I was baptizing. We had another baptism on Sunday. Loislaine (yeah, like Lois Lane from Superman; I’m on a roll here baptizing Brazilians named after famous Americans) is someone who has kind of been a member for a long time but wasn’t. Apparently she was baptized 8 years ago, but there are no records that this ever happened. And if she was baptized and not confirmed or if she was baptized, confirmed but never recorded on the records of the Church, in the Church’s eyes, she is not a member. Whatever the case, now she is officially a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Boo yah, we are still rolling.
As we all do, I have my highs and lows here regarding what happened, but work helps me to keep focused. Having a baptism to focus on every week really helps, and I feel that it is God’s way of helping me to finish strong. My time is winding down, and I know that soon I’ll be home. I’m very excited, but I know that eight weeks is still eight weeks. I’ll get there soon.
I am going to go to the temple tomorrow. That should help me as well, and here in a bit I should be able to go to the temple to watch the sealing of a family I baptized in my first area, so that is exciting. All in all, I’m doing all right.
My comp. is great. I would love to finish my mission with him, but the president might have me train. But who knows—I’m going to talk to him about it this week.
Anyway, that is about it for me this week, I love you all. Stay safe, keep pushing forward.
I’m just going to “Walk On,” and I “[Won’t] Look Back.”
