This week we were able to watch our friend named Angle be baptized. She is someone that the Sister missionaries in our ward worked with. She is super nice and sincere and her daughter is so funny. She is from Sierra Lione and was very excited to be baptized. She is a friend of Cintia and it was really cool to see them together.
We finally got a football match moving forward. We had some people from our ward and some people that meet with us all come. We ended up with probably 16 people even if some were a bit younger. It was really fun and I hope we can do it with more success. We will do it this week and more people should be coming!
This is already pretty long, so I will finish with this: Elder Buckhoff shared with me some advice about getting answers from God. He talked about how he would pray and seek an answer and sometimes the thoughts he would have did not seem to fit with his plans or seem to be easy at all. As he had the courage to change what he thought and follow the ideas that God gave him as he read scriptures or prayed or served others he was able to see how it worked out. The plans helped people to give up the bad habits they had struggled with because he would visit them right as they needed support. It helped me to see that the Lord will not leave us alone, but it will take faith to follow. We have to trust that He knows what He is asking us to do and follow through on our end. We can follow that pattern in anything. Pray, act on any thought that comes, ask for more guidance.
Love you all,
Elder Pace
