Hey Y’all my week has been great. The area that I am in at the moment has some pretty sweet members of the church. Everyone here loves one another. I think it is so cool how all these members look out for each other. Sharing is caring, am I right?

This past Monday my District and I decided to go caving. I have been caving a few times before, but never as a missionary so the context was different. As a Boy Scout several years ago, I explored mining tunnels. I remember the blackness so well — I couldn’t even see my hand in front of my face. How important it was that I had a light with me to illuminate the way.

As I explored this cave with my fellow missionaries, I realized that in this cave and in the caves of our lifes many things can happen and it is up to you to make it safely through the Cave and back out. Lots of mud and dirty water ugh! Symbolic of the temptations all around us and the importance of cleansing ourselves from sin. I am grateful for the faith and strength I have been given to resist temptation.

Good News! I was given a task to read the Book Of Mormon throughout my Mission and to underline interesting paragraphs. As of TODAY! I have reached THE BOOK OF 2ND NEPHI!!!! Wahooo!! I am growing and learning a lot as I read the Book Of Mormon. Each time I read this Book my day gets even better. You too can have the light of the Book of Mormon illuminate your path if you choose to at least read a chapter a day.

Buena Suerte And Talk Soon!!

With Much Love Elder Baldwin ❤❤❤❤
