Baptism day!

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone has had a wonderful week! Elder Crawley and I are doing just dandy over here in Med Hat! It was a bit rainy this week, but it's better than the snow that they're getting in Calgary! We had a pretty good week! Lots of people were out of town for Easter break, so meeting with people was a bit of a struggle, but we made do. We did a lot of tracting, visiting potentials, biking in the rain etc. We had an awesome Zone Conference in Lethbridge on Tuesday. President Miles put us on the spot and called Elder Crawley and I up to role play teaching the restoration in front of everyone. Good thing we practiced! Those meetings are always full of the spirit and really get us pumped to go out and do missionary work. You can really feel the love of President and Sister Miles as well. They do so much for us! I love both of them and it's always great to see them and get some training.

So Mike and Ryder got baptized this week! We were busy meeting with them this week to make sure they they were ready. It was amazing to see them as they had the opportunity to make those covenants with their Heavenly Father. Saturday was a busy day! We had a baptism at 2:30 for Mike, and then at 5:30 for Ryder. They both seemed to go off without a hitch! Planning a baptism can be a stressful process sometimes. They both got confirmed on Sunday, and Mike asked me to confirm him. That was a really cool experience. He's changed so much since having the gospel in his life. It's been neat to see his family one by one accept the gospel and choose to be baptized. They should be able to get sealed together in a year, which will be so great for them!

In other news, we got a new bishopric this week. It was really sad to see our old bishop and his councilors released, but we're excited to go forward and work with this new bishopric!

Spiritual thought for today. I've been studying the Christlike attribute of humility in personal study, and I just wanted to share what Preach My Gospel says about humility

Humility is willingness to submit to the will of the Lord and to give the Lord the honor for what is accomplished. It includes gratitude for His blessings and acknowledgment of your constant need for His divine help. Humility is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of spiritual strength. When you humbly trust Him and acknowledge His power and mercy, you can have the assurance that His commandments are for your good. You are confident that you can do whatever the Lord requires of you if you rely on Him. You are also willing to trust His chosen servants and follow their counsel. Humility will help you as you strive to be obedient, to work hard, and serve selflessly.

I love this description because it teaches that humility requires us to recognize our dependence on the Lord. I've really learned that as we do this, he's able to help us so much more. We constantly need His help throughout our lives. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us, and is always there to help us!

Hope this week is a great one!

Love,

Elder Moffitt
