Baptisms And Taxis

-Hey guys, this week flew by. The highlight was definitely having the baptisms of Siposanke, Owethu, and Ntombentsha. It was super special and spiritual. Yo, but, the water was so cold. It was like taking an ice bath for real.

-I went on an exchange with Elder Knight. That was super fun. Apparently, he and I are like 3rd cousins, which is kinda cool. But I love him, he's so much fun.

-Yo, I also had a taxi run into me while we were biking. I was going straight, and this taxi just decides to turn left right into me. Taxis here are passenger vans, and they are just absolutely crazy. I took the side of the taxi right to head. Bro acted like I didn't even exist, hahaha. But I'm good, I stayed on my bike, so it really wasn't that bad.

- We were teaching Zive and Sima about temples this week. They'll be getting baptized next week. But as we were talking about temples and it made me realize how much I miss the temple. There truly is no other place like it on earth. The spirit is just different there.  I didn't realize how lucky we are to have so many so close. So, I challenge y'all to get to the temple. Make the Lord a priority in your life by visiting His house.

- A scripture that I really liked from my personally study this week was in

2 Nephi 26:29

"And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out."

It makes me ask myself the question if am I worshipping Him with all my might, mind, strength, and soul? That's a question we need to ask ourselves every day. In our daily routine are we honoring Christ's name? Are we being an example of Jesus Christ in all things? And if not, what do we need to change to be that example? Luckly for us Christ sacrificed Himself so that we can change and become like him. The Atonement makes it possible for us to be like our Savior, but only if we seek to be better. To truly repent and forsake our past sins and attitudes. I invite y'all to ask yourself those important questions. And then act on the promptings the spirit gives you.
