Good Week in Bend

The week overall was good with the missionary work here. This week we had a really good lesson with Crystil and her neighbor. Her neighbor has been really impressed with the ways that Crystil has changed. She says that she has seen a huge difference in her and that she has a light about her, which is so true. She said that she wanted that for herself, so this week we had a lesson in Crystil’s home with this Sister. It’s pretty amazing how she has only been a member for a week and she is already fellowshipping and reaching out and inviting others into her home to learn more. She bore a lot of testimony as well, so that was really cool. 

Anthony is getting excited for his baptism on Saturday! He asked one of the Priests to be the one to perform the baptism, so we are excited for that. It will be a great experience for him. Tanner is even going to either leave his rugby game early or skip it to be able to baptize Anthony, so that is really cool to see. The ward is excited as well, so that’ll be great. 

It was great to be able to go back to Newberg this week for the District Leader Training that we had. It was good to be able to see a lot of missionaries that I served around and just everyone there in general. It felt good to be back in the mission home around President and Sister Tateoka. I think the highlight of my week was being able to talk with President one on one for a few minutes after the meeting. That was really good.
