This week was fairly interesting, some of the highlights include giving away all of our Easter Cards about Prince of Peace, finally bringing a certain investigator to Church, Interesting revelation about the Sacrament.
So yeah, we finally brought this one investigator, E to church, he lives about one block away, so we´ve been passing by like every sunday to see if we can catch him awake, and this week, we did! and another miracle: this week, we actually had a fair number of youth at church too! so he started to make friends.
Also, to answer questions about the photo I sent to mom, we´ve been digging a hole for a septic tank for the Bishop´s house for the past couple of weeks, and last thursday, I managed to toughen up and make the climb down there. It was interesting.
And yeah, returning to missionary stuff, I made an interesting connection about the Sacrament this week. As we all know, the bread represents tthe Body of Christ, or in other words, his Resurrection, and the water represents the Blood of Christ, or in other words, his Atonement. The Resurrection saves us all from our fallen condition, our pains, aches, and temporal worries, the Atonement saves faithful members from our sins. Both are very important, but which one do we take first? The bread, meaning that the fact that not only did Christ suffer for all of our pains in addition to our sins, but really that is a principal and crucial part of it, it is just as important, and to me it shows that before we receive the remission of our sins, God want us all to be ok first.
I don´t knowif what I said made sense to you guys, but I do know that it´s really important, I hope all of you had a great Easter, and I cannot wait to talk to you guys on Mother´s day
love,
Elder Blaylock
