BAPTISM YAAAAAY!!!! (week 70)

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey you guys!!!! Don't have a ton of time because I was busy loading photos soooo imma do a POWER TYPE hahaha!

Buuuuut yeah this week was kinda insane because we had DIEGOS BAPTISM!! Sooooo we were on errands one minute after the other. Elder Stucki came out of that interview and said that he felt really good about it.....so we are very happy for him!! We are happy for Sandra too. The baptism was interesting basically Elder Ancalle had to baptize him 3 times cause the font wasn't filled up all the way. Each time he got more and more frustrated and the very last time he was screaming the ordinance at the top of his lungs.....Elder Gardner was a witness and he gave me a look with the widest eyes hahahahahaahah

Elder Lopez got an ingrown toe nail and because of that we had some emergency divisions.....it's alright, I got to know Elder Pulver really well!!! He's from North Ogden (no he doesn't know the Piersons) but he's really cool. We just did favors allll dayyyy long hahahaha

Today was a pretty cool p-day because we went as a district to buy FABRIC!!! Basically there is a lady in Elder Gardners area that makes ties super cheap if you bring her fabric, so she's doing that for us!!! Imma have two super sick ties next week and they were only about 5 dollars each so that's fun!!! 

I am really excited about how the area is going!!! We had a baptism and our other investigator has a date!!! If we keep working hard and being obedient I KNOW THAT WE CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN DO IT!!!!!!!

Anyways, love you guys thank you for all you do!!

Here is something new! Garrett decided to do voice recordings to put on the blog. He wanted me to type it up but I thought you all deserved to hear his voice. Am I good to my (I mean Garrett's...) blog followers or what?! (; So here it is...
A Spiritual Rant of Sorts


Book Club: Why did Heavenly Father want Lehi and his family to have the brass plates?
This question isn't really easy to answer but it's not complicated either...the plates of brass contained the five books of Moses which talked about the creation of the world, our first parents and had a record of the Jews, in other words this record was part of the Bible.
Another thing that is talked about in 1 Nephi 5 is that these records gave an account of Lehi's genealogy..he learned that he was a descendent of Joseph and after finding it all out he was "filled with the spirit and began to prophesy of his seed" (1 Nephi 5:17). One of these prophecies was that "these plates of brass should go forth unto all nations, kindred's, tongues and people who were of his seed" (1 Nephi 5:18). This verse interested me so I looked up one of the cross references (Alma 22:12) about when Aaron had used these brass plates to teach the king about the creation...and that verse interested me so I looked up one of its cross references (Alma 18:36) about when Ammon was teaching the king when the king thought that he was a "great spirit". Obviously the sons of Mosiah had a ton of knowledge from these plates and were able to help a lot of people. 
I believe that Heavenly Father wanted Lehi and his family to have the brass plates for the same reason that he wanted us to have the Book of Mormon and the Bible so that we could learn more about him...and then take this knowledge to be able to help other people learn about the gospel!
Challenge: But why do you think Heavenly Father wanted Lehi and his family to have the brass plates? Read 1 Nephi 3-5 and write about it in your challenge journals!
