so it was a good week so i kind of wrote a lot so blessings up to all who finish haha but anywho…
Tueday cooooked us! We had like 7 lessons set up with members and all of them fell through 🙁 but you know what it ended up alright
This is a super random side note but there have been SO MANY POLICE CARS EVERYWHERE like its gotten insane this week, like when we leave our complex there is always just like 3 police cars here and there’s always sirens going off all around salem anywho stay safe yall
Wednesday:):):) guess where i got to go??? A football game whoot whoot! We knocked one of our less active members door a few days ago, brother kalamafoni! And he invited us to his sons game so you best bet we went! And ya it was so fun i enjoyed myself too much but dont worry we got a lesson in there at the game and hopefully we will be teaching his unbaptized kid soon
Thursday oh it was a good dayyyyyy!!
We found 3 super cool people whoot whoooot miracle filled day! ya it was just a good day!
We had a lesson with our friend Sarah and her daughters ended up being there and were asking tons of questions!
And the other one was this lady who was painting her door orange on a whim so we just yapped with her and we feel like she will actually progress!!
I’m just going to skip to Saturday!!!
Wowooww what a day for everyone!!!! Happy espn college game day with the cougs and AMIRAHS BAPTISM DAY!!!! After the 30 minutes pre baptism of me and my comp RUNNING around the church building trying to figure things out everything went sooo well!!! It was such a spirit filled experience!!! We played a cutie little musical number ( not my best work but ) but ya it was just a super cool experience seeing someone who i was able to help teach make promises with God and be confirmed as a member of this church!!
And you know how sad i was missing this byu vs notre dame espn college game day game but i was sitting at the baptism while they were changing and a lady was playing the piano i felt the spirit so strongly tell me “you are where you need to be” i needed to be here, i was able to witness someone make covenants with God!!!!

Wow so much to be grateful for this week
But last but not least –> The theme of the Keizer Oregon stake conference this conference was JOY! And so many people talked about joy! So I’ve been thinking a lot more about it 🙂 president Nelson said, “The joy we feel has little to do with the circumstances of our lives and everything to do with the focus of our lives.” When we focus our lives on Jesus Christ and focus on seeing the light of Christ in others, we will find more joy. This is so true in all of our lives because we need more joy and more Jesus and our focus is how we get more of both! I know so many people out here who are going through super hard things but are so happy because they are choosing to focus on Jesus Christ!
FOCUS ON THE JOY THAT COMES FROM HIM!
LOVE YOU ALL!
