Week 73: HE LIVES

Scout Benson

Howdy howdy yall! jk im not serving in texas. 


this week was a wild but good one. on tuesday we put jason on date for baptism!! 

on wednesday we drove alllllll the way to jacksonville which was a party and a half for sure. 

Then on thursday we had MLC! Which was... a little bit insane but its okay. New rules so lots of opinions. The work moves forward. Thursday afternoon we drove alllllllllllll the way back to lynn haven and crashed so hard. :))

friday we found out jason had gotten into some drugs and so... hes not on date anymore :(( pray for him big time. and maliek moved so he dropped us :(((((((

saturday maliah got baptized!! tanzi held off because her husband was not on board :(( so pray for that too. but maliahs baptism was perfect. then we had the ward easter party right after and so we all got to go. maliah and the elders are best friends now theyre obsessd with her and she thinks its so fun to mess with them. 

sunday! happy easter :)) our easter service was beautiful, lots of music! i was able to sing which is always such a fun thing for me because i get to bear my testimony. buttt.... the last speaker spoke for 40 minutes. so we went FOURTY-FIVE minutes over. it was just insane. but still good. then after church we went out knocking!! we found 3 people that wanted us to come back!! so cool. such a beautiful day to testify of The Living Christ.

And then today of course we met up with our district and played games and went to the beach and hung out. while we were in one of the shops a girl working asked me what we did and i was able to tell her and i got her number!! a huge miracle. so cool. i love my life :)) 


so yeah!! we're just soaking up every last moment here and loving it. happy easter yall, Jesus LIVES. and he loves you :))

I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive.
