Week Highlights

New companion: Hermana Bird - "the cutest person ever." They laugh constantly.
Power outage due to 120 km/h winds.
Pre-emptively filled all pots and pans with water (water never shut off).
A street contact grabbed them to touch his cold ear; later proposed to Kaitlynn on WhatsApp: "si quieres casarte conmigo lo haré al tiro" [if you want to marry me I'll do it right now].
A dog peed on Hermana Bird.
Ward member "Gary" - always likes their social media church posts; they tracked him down and invited him. He came to church and left with 16 copies of church magazines (the ward loaded him up).
Hermana Ines (inactive member) came to church.
BAPTISM OF RODRIGO AND YASDIEL - "the best day of my life." Carmen (Rodrigo's aunt) attended in all white; tears streaming; kept saying to Kaitlynn: "It's going to be me next!"

Spiritual Thought

2 Nephi 9:18-21 - Jesus knows. Matthew 11:28-30 - His burden is light. Alma 29:1-2 - Like Alma, she wants to shout the gospel to everyone. "You were what He thought of to find the strength to push through His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane...for you." Recommends "Is It Still Wonderful to You?" (GC Apr 2015).
