- Elder Baird's #BLESSED Mission: WEEK 21 WHITE ROCK: The curse has lifted??? ...

Gang, I'm only semi cursed. Transfer Boards dropped and I get to stay! Hurray! Elder On is leaving. Not Hurray.

So that's the big news of this week. I'm staying in White Rock, which is lowkey chill because the past 6 weeks have felt like 1. And my new comp Elder Fankhauser is mad chill and such a cool dude. I had so many playdates with him transfer 1, so we tight like that.

The week was epic that

Type Beat

Wednesday was so fun. Last DC, and the day was great. But that night we had a lesson with Pei JIa again. The lesson was so spirit led once again. The lord is working strong on him. It was so cool though, had a great talk about tithing. He leaves to China this Friday, but will be back in March. And hopefully when he gets back he will be ready. He shared such a powerful testimony, and talked about how logical our church is. Because he's a scientist and he was like 'yuh, it just makes sense. More things prove that there is a God than not." So I guess you could say he's a cool bean.

Lets gooooo. I get 6 more weeks of food hampers. Sooooo blessed! Thursday had another Chinese language lesson with Cai先生. Not me actually enjoying learning Chinese and why Chinese is a thing...it's so much fun. Then had an epic English class where we did tongue twisters. It was so funny, but so much fun. I actually love these students so much. They're the goats.

Friday, we met with our friend Rebecca in the morning and talked for like 2 hours, talked about politics and culture. Soooo pretty epic. Met this man named Terry. He's cool. A mechanic. Talked about cars for 2 hours. Type beat. Then had pickleball, and a friend we met named Elijah pulled up with his friend. They were pretty cracked, and I finally got to turn on sweat mode. Lets just say they got some taste of what a Utah boy's pickleball looks like.

Book of Mormon is goated

Go read it

Saturday was a beautiful day. Sun was shinning. The people were happy. :) took a nice walk around a park and chatted it up with some peeps. Had a lesson with Song 叔叔 and I actually kinda understood him. Like huge gift of tongues. Bro sounded like he was speaking just regular normal Mandarin. Such a cool miracle. But he goes to China next week. Sad. Then had a member meal with Sister Villeneuve and her grandkid Sebastian. They're so awesome. Costco lasagna for the win. Had a lesson with our new converts and it was epic. They just yapped about how cool all the missionaries are. And finished the night with jamming out on the Grand Piano. Much happiness!

Got 5 friends to Stake Conference on Sunday. And got some 饺子 from memebrs, and cooked em up. Sooo flippin delicious! Had another White Rock missionary dinner, quite epic. And balled out

What more can I say

Yesterday we had English class. And it was even more epic than last time. It was the last time 2 of the misisonaries would be there, and after the class we all just talked and took way too many pictures, but it was so much fun. Like I said. Our students. The goats Sent out a quick 500 invites over text. Light work. Then that night, the entire Chinese Zone just somehow ended up on a facetime call. It was quite epic and was so much fun. Being in the Chinese zone is so blessed. We just all a big family pretty much.

Today was final P-day with my boi. So we hit another lift with Zack. Hit chest. Light work. Then hung out with our district. Threw some more burritos, basketballs, and footballs. (Also ripsticks, cus those things are impossible to ride). Had a memebr meal with this awesome family, and just enjoyed life.

Life's just good

Cool little find though

十字架

That's the Chinese word for the cross.

But also translates to "Yoke one has to endure"

How cool is that?

Jesus Christ sacrificed His life for us. It was His Yoke He had to Endure. He chose to do that. He chose to do it. It was His burden that He took upon Himself. All for what? All for us. So that His Yoke is easy, and His burden would be light. His entire atonment was done for each and every single one of us. And I think.... I know, that the only reason anyone would ever choose to to that is because of perfect love. And because He is the only person to walk on this earth to have a perfect love, He's the only one who could've chosen to sacrifice His life for us to live.

So trust when He asks us. He literally asks us!

Give Him your burden

Cus if you don't

His sacrifice had not point.

He loves you

I love you

And go find someone who needs some love
