- Elder Baird's #BLESSED Mission: WEEK 23 WHITE ROCK: Jesus Class

I've decided, next time I play a video game. I'm picking the Jesus Class. Might be the most OP class to pick.

This week was amazing as always, and I am indeed loving, living, and laughing

Wednesday consisted of an epic DC, tis gonna be a blessed district this transfer. Got lunch from a member. Had another English conversation talk lesson 聊聊天天 i don't even know what to call it with Jim. Then finished off the night with a member meal with the Bishop's parents. They were epic, and had a dope convo with them.

Thursday was a happy day indeed. Food hampers. Honestly goated. We were like the only missionaries there so we were put to work. I love it. Service is one of the ways I get to find the most joy in my life. Like, putting a smile on someone's face is just so rewarding. Had another language class with Cai 先生, which is so goated, cus like I learned about a bunch of the stuff in school, but now I actually care more about learning it . English class was epic. Explaning the difference between a hamburger and a sandwhich might have been the hardest thing I've done yet on my mission. Then had a miracle lesson with Shaun!

Friday did the typical meet-and-greet social hour. And had the coolest miracle ever. A girl walked in named Bella. Talked to her, and she was like woooahhhh you speak Chinese. Then she came to church, and said she wants to learn more. Like bro, she literally got off the boat last week, and God put her in the right place at the right time. Then had our last lesson with 宋叔叔 I've grown to love this man. At first, I was 完全听不懂, like he had the craziest dialect accent and I could not understand. But the gift of tongues is real, and now I can have full conversations with him, but he's gone..... Forever.... I was so sad, to say goodbye. But on the drive home I had the coolest feeling of peace ever. God was like, don't worry, I got him. So blessed.

Once upon a time me and Elder On met this girl named Aubrey. She was just walking by and we talked to her, got her number, then set up a bible study with her. She was so prepared. Everything led her to find us, but most importantly find God. She was a really strong Catholic. But we passed her to the English elders, and they've been teaching her. Throughout all this we've still kept in contact with her, and it's been so cool to see her progression. Tonight we found out she's on date for March 8th, and is making the necessary sacrifices to get to it. It's been the coolest thing I've seen on my mission, and I'm just so happy.

Saturday we got to be travelling performing missionaries. We got invited to Richmond's 春节 festival. It was epic, we had a couple friends come. And did the lion dance again. Did everything go wrong? yup. Did we make a baby cry? yup. Was it still awesome sauce? Also yup.

Church was blessed. Song Shu Shu came, (bro said he was leaving the day before) but is now leaving today (Tuesday). So I got to actually see him one last time. Bella came, and the sisters in the group instantly adopted her. I love this Chinese group so much! We got to teach primary for second hour, and ended up teaching these two young boys. We were expaining how we take Jesus' name upon us. So as a good missionary does, we tied it to Roblox. 'Enter the Jesus Class'. Jesus is the most epic character, and when you pick your class, you try to fulfill everything that class/character is supposed to do. (See where we're going)((pretty epic huh)) So pick the Jesus Class, and try to do everything you can to fulfill that role.

Yesterday was the finding day. Did so much of it. Lemme tell ya, I love talking to Chinese people

They are so cool

Today. Temple. = blessed and happy Elder Baird. If you haven't. Try going. It's pretty epic. Then made some epic social media post vids. Stay tuned.

Week: Jesus is King/10

A motto I've lived my life with is "No Regrets"

Life Life with No Regrets

No matter what you're doing, do it with a full purpose of heart, and 100% effort.

There're two things in life you can control, attitude and effort. And that's all God asks of us. Give Him your best effort, give Him your best attitude. Follow my commandments, Love God and Love His children.

It's how I want to live my mission. Live it with no regrets. Give it my all, give it to Him. It's His work, and I'm privleged to be apart of it. I'm eternally grateful I get to be apart of it. I've never been more joyful and happy in my life. So I wanna give it everything, and know that when I'm finished, God will be proud of my efforts.

Life is so much more joyful when you live it with no regrets. Whether it's school, sports, career, or just being you.

Live Life with No Regrets
