So I heard that if you write a missionary snail mail you automatically get into the celestial kingdom....................................................................
JK don't quote me on that but on the realz... you do get blessings so............... write me. plz. plz. plz.
I just had to start out with that while I still had your attention lol
Okay anyway..... this week was so rad in Potosi.
Weekly Highlights:
1. s"NO"w: it finally snowed. School was cancelled for three days. What is this? I was like honestly a little hurt because it has to snow like ten feet before they cancel school in Idaho. But here... it literally snowed two inches and everyone was like "oh dang cancel school, cancel the RS activity, cancel everything" no joke. That is not an exaggeration. The snow made me so grateful to be a car missionary though #blessed because can you imagine riding a bike in the snow when it's like five degrees? No.
2. Musical number #3: so the zone leaders texted us and asked us to do ANOTHER musical number at zlt. lol. That's literally three times in a row. I'm like... wait, isn't anyone else in the zone musical or nah? It's ok though because Sister Knight just sang with another sister. Hehe I love having musical comps. But yeah zlt was SO GOOD. Ohhhh myyy goodnesssss. We also got to watch this world wide missionary broadcast. IT WAS SO LEGIT. I'm so sorry most of you couldn't watch it because you're not missionaries... they talked a lot about how our purpose is to "teach repentance and baptize converts" amen.
3. SIS. KNIGHT'S FIRST TACO BELL: okay. January 21, 2016. The proudest day of my lyfe. Baby g was forced to eat Taco Bell by me! It's like watching your child take it's first steps. It was so monumental. Her life will never be the same.
4. Chili cookoff: I got to be a judge with Elder Stoddard for the ward chili cookoff!!! It was so intense though, people get so serious about their chili.
Teaching Highlights:
1. Dennis: when you realize that your recent convert is like the chillest most perfect recent convert there ever was....seriously though. He's already in 3 nephi. What is this? He was supposed to read the Book of Mormon in 100 days but instead he's gonna read it in like 50. ARE YOU SERIOUS. Dennis is so aWeSoMe.
2. Julie K: we had such a good lesson with her! We talked about fasting and watched "The hope of God's light." We talked about how we've tried to get her divorce OUR way but now we need to do it GOD'S way, and we'll get help by fasting. She said she would fast with us on February fast Sunday eeeeeeep!
3. William: we taught him the first half of the commandments and he said he understood them all! William is so precious! It's so cool because he has soooo much real intent. He fully intends to act on the invitations we leave with him. You just know that he knows that it's all true. He is really progressing and awesome. We are so grateful for him!
4. Hayden: just in case any of you were on the edge of your seat wondering what happened with all this.... we decided to drop him. He kept cancelling on us and we are trying to build up God's kingdom in this area and by having him take up so much of our time and then to keep cancelling, wasn't allowing us to do that. So we dropped him and to be honest it is such a relief. I'm a huge believer in dropping and then finding golden gators! It happens more times than not! Maybe someday he will be ready to accept the gospel fully and completely!
We had ward conference yesterday and here's a quote from our stake president that I loved:
"Any two of us compared is not that different when compared to God."
It's soooo trueeeee. But I know I forget this a lot. It's easy to look at people and be like "oh they will never accept the gospel." Or to find fault with others. That's a weakness of mine. But let's all try to remember this and LOVE everyone we come in contact with. It will bring you JOY. I promise :)
Also how have I been out for five months already? idk idk idk it's scary.
I hope you all have the best week ever! It's the last week of January so make it a good one :)
