The Whole Armour of God

This week was a great week. I got to go on an exchange with Hermana Parker. We had a really good time together. We started teaching a man who has come to sports night for the past 8 years and is friends with many members of the branch. He never was really interested, but now he is ready to learn. The lessons we have had with him have been really great and we are very excited for him. This is a picture from the end of the exchange day when we were all exchanging back.

Wednesday I hit a year out in the mission which was really crazy. Time is flying by. My companion made me breakfast which was delicious.

For dinner we went to Kyle's Kitchen, which is where we went to dinner on my first night here in Calilfornia.

We had a goal this week to have one person we are teaching make it to church. None of the people we were teaching were able to make it, but as we were about to go into our class, the husband of one of our recent converts walked in. He has a strong desire to be baptized but works every Sunday. It was such a miracle that he came. 

This next week is the last week of the transfer, which always seems to be when lots of miracles come. This week I was reading in the Bible about the power that comes when we follow the words of Christ and act upon them. It compares us following Christ to armour:

"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

As we give everything to God we will be blessed with strength to withstand all that may come into our lives. 

I am excited for this next week. I know it will be a good one.
