Wow, what a week.

First we had a 70 come visit us, Elder Pearson! He thoroughly rebuked us, it was awesome. He was very bold and talked about a lot of different things. He talked about D&C 50:14-21, faith and what happens when we we have/don't have it, and how to get it, planning, finding, helping people, discover their divine identity and how it relates to prayer (Bible Dictionary: Prayer), and even how to give talks! There was so much that he threw at us. It's a lot, and kind of deep to be able to write it out, you really had to be there. A couple things I wrote down:

"Everyone you meet knows the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you can't have a physical body, and not know the gospel is true"

"There's no one leaving the church that is reading the Book of Mormon everyday"

"Faith is a spiritual gift from God" (like the gift of tongues)

And some other stuff, there was so much. It was super good. 

We also had two baptisms! The one kid who ordered a Book of Mormon and the other girl who recently moved into the Ward. It was awesome. Elder Rodriguez baptized the kid, and I baptized the girl. It was super cool and spiritual. I got to do hers in Spanish! She's learning Spanish, and her husband is from Mexico City originally, and even served a mission in Mexico. He's been inactive for a long while, and she grew up in an inactive family and never got baptized. It really worked out because the kids mom only speaks Spanish, and the Hermanas from the other Spanish branch invited their investigators. It was a really cool experience.

Anyway, awesome week,

Love,

Elder Hogg
