Invitations

What's up everyone?! This week was a super successful week for us here in Bonao. The work here is moving along super well so we are hoping to see some baptisms in the next few weeks! 

First things first, on Wednesday we had a zoom meeting in the morning and it actually was amazing. Literally changed my life forever in the work! President talked about 2 things that I loved. First off was prayer. We need to help the people here pray in the correct way to our Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ. It is pretty incredible how many people pray the wrong way. President was explaining that if we pray in the wrong way we aren't going to receive answers to our prayers. So, I have been focusing on teaching prayer in a better way this week and it has been so fun. The other thing that he talked about was inviting people to be baptized. He said that a lot of the time people aren't baptized because the missionaries don't invite them to be baptized. So this week we have been inviting so many people and right now we have 6 baptismal dates! We are gonna try to work so hard so these people can truly be baptized. 

Cool little story. Yesterday I was searching through family search for the fun of it. Turns out that app is truly amazing. I went to my Great Grandpa Johnson’s profile. In it I found a bunch of cool news articles and stories about him. He loved missionary work more than anything. It was so fun to read that and feel the spirit so strongly confirming how important the mission really is. I also found some really cool things about my Aunt Ann and it made me feel that I truly have angels around me helping me! 

This Thursday we are going to the Santo Domingo Temple again! We are all super excited and I am hyped to see all of my mission buddies. It will be a party! Sorry if my emails are super short or long to you haha. Monday always comes and I just have no clue what to put in here. But I know the church is true and that missionary work is so important. I hope that everyone who reads this can share the gospel with a friend. Think of all the blessings you have received and all the blessings your friends can too! 

Love ya’ll
