Our mission is doing series of musical tributes called "Come Unto Christ" where we sing and a couple of people bear sir testimonies and basically it is so members can come and bring their friends to introduce them to the church. I am playing a solo so I get to go to all of them. Yesterday was our first one in Conway (about a 3 hour drive from Memphis) and it was awesome!We got to see the Russellville hermanas so that was a bonus.

We went to our regular dinner appointment with the Garcias on Saturday and at the end, we shared our spiritual thought as usual. The dad is usually pretty distracted by his phone so it just ends up being us talking to the mom and trying to redirect the conversation every time the dad interrupts with something that is irrelevant. But we shared about M. Russell Ballard's talk from General Conference and talked about how we as missionaries need to be working with them as members to help other people be able to have the blessings of the gospel and then we invited them to the missionary tribute here this week. We invited them to each invite someone else. The dad payed attention to the whole time! And committed to invite someone! The mom said she already had someone in mind to invite! It was so awesome!
Love you all,This week, I did an activity in PMG where I read a couple of scriptures and looked for the qualifications for baptism in them. I loved it and thought it was really cool that none of them say that a person has to have read the whole Book of Mormon or has done a anything super special. But all they have to do is have a desire to be baptized, have repented, and have a "broken heart and a contrite spirit" and anyone can get to that point. All of Heavenly Father's blessings aren't exclusive but are available to anyone who wants them.We were on the roof so of course we had to take a selfie.
