It's HOT here! (Week 74)

I don't think I've ever had a hotter week in my life. Every single shirt that I wore this week just turned yellow. Mark my words, I will never live somewhere as hot as here... that is, unless my hot wife wants to.

Our dear friend Humberto, who has been prepping for baptism for the last couple weeks, is all geared up for this Saturday January 25th. He's been making some good friends in the ward and it's just been a pleasure to see how perfectly the gospel fits into his life. We had a Family Night last night with the Justino's and while we were eating Humberto just goes "you know the thing I think is most cool about this church is that I just feel like I'm with my family here. I feel like I'm surrounded by those who love me, surrounded by friends who really care about me." That really touched me how fast he picked up the true essence of our Savior Jesus Christ. Just some good ole fashioned love.

I thought a lot this week about something super dear and close to me. My freaking homies. I love all my friends so much and I'm so grateful for good friends.  One of the raddest scriptures that really made me feel real good is John 15:13. Jesus is talking to the Apostles and he goes “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” I can say without hesitation that Jesus Christ is my friend. That we are absolute brethren. I love Him so much and I know that He lives! I know He died for me because we are buddies. I am so grateful for the people in my life that I can call friends.

Tomorrow marks the six months until I come home mark. That's freaking wack. Not complaining tho hahahah.

Had a nice reunion with the District Leaders
