#31 爬山 páshān (mountain climbing)

Oh hello again everyone. It's yours truly. So I apologize for keeping this one short but we did a crazy long hike this morning which was fun, but has also messed with the day a little. Anyway let me give you all some sweet highlights!

On Saturday night I had the privilege of confirming the Thai twins members of the church. It was such a sweet experience and I was so grateful for the chance to participate in their baptism. 

Our friend Natisse is doing well, she is still working through some of the commandments but is otherwise doing well. 

We met a sweet family of 5 this week named the Czubecks! (Pronouced Zubek). They know a lot of members and we talked to them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

Anyway, here is a quick spiritual thought from our hike this morning. As we started our 10 mile journey it felt like the peak was completely out of reach, I forgot the fact that I had done plenty of hikes like this previously. What I learned though is, as I put one foot in front of the other I made it to the summit. Life is similar, it can be hard to achieve our goals sometimes. But as we put one foot in front of the next, we get to the top.
