Not the most locked in week
(This is like the cutest couple of all time)
Anyways, It is true that most temples have a small soundproof playplace and I got to go play with barn animals with a non biológical kid of a couple in our branch that got sealed on Saturday! Angel and Roxanne are the best! And I had the most humbling experience with them.
We were going to witness their live sealing, but because one of their sons was born before they even met (and they hadn’t obtained permission), he couldn’t be sealed with his family until he’s 18. He seemed really put out, and honestly, we were too when we found out we’d basically be babysitting him instead, since he had to be accompanied by an adult. Two scriptures touched my heart, and one of them really helped this kid who looked so sad...I felt so bad for him. While we were waiting in the baptistry to do baptisms instead, we read:
Doctrine and Covenants 121 67-69
Although there is deep doctrine in here President Nelson used this to explain that no temple blessing would be withheld from those who are willing (ok maybe the context was a little different but it helped him and we had to be BOLD okay?)
Matthew 16:25
Have you ever watched a movie and based your personality around a character? Thats me but with this verse... the spirit was so strong testifying of what I've seen this principle do in my mission
Love you all!
Sincerely,
Elder Lucas Witte
A Venezuelan couple from van east came! It was so good to see them again!
We also set up for the wedding, I think it ended up great. Years of ward party set up came in clutch. Thanks Mom for always being the one they ask. Haha.
W district, 1 of a kind for sure
