Elder Jacob Hill: Sacrament Talk Commercials

Malo Soifua!!!

Today on the Elder Hill Show:

The Church has never been truer
I'm now 3 for 3 on exchange parties haha
Sacrament commercials are pretty funny, not gonna lie
Craig got baptized!!!
I'm still studying faith, and I've had some amazing insights

This week I've seen many tender mercies of all varieties that have just confirmed again and again that the church is true (yayy, another list):

We ran into Elder Call (now just "Kaj"), who got released a week ago. He was touring the city with his fam, and we literally just ran into them on a street corner, so that was hype
We finally got 24 hour exchanges!!!
On our first 24 hours exchange, I got to go to Chinatown, and the ward there was throwing a farewell party for Kaj, so not only did I get to see him AGAIN, but I got to eat a bunch of great Chinese food and dessert for the THIRD time on an exchange here haha. Good times
Got passed a dude by the Chinese Elders who claims to have seen visions. We're not sure how to find out if they're legit or he was just hallucinating, so that's fun (on the flip side though, he believes the Joseph Smith story 110%, so that's kinda great.)
On Saturday it rained a TON. Hard downpour for most of the day, and it was great
We ran into a Hawaiian lady on the street who loves missionaries (not a member though, go figure) and she gave us a hug! I love Polynesian people so much

During sacrament meeting in the MSA ward, a sister was giving a farewell talk (she's getting married, and thus leaving the Single Adult ward). In her talk, she spoke about all the things she loves about the MSA ward. As she began speaking about service in all its forms, she stopped herself, said "sorry, quick commercial", and then reminded everyone about a book drive that the YSA is putting on soon. Immediately after, she continued on with her talk, leaving me floored by the reality of "commercials" during sacrament meeting haha. Good times.

Also y'all remember our friend Craig? The guy from a few months ago with the crazy life stories? So we had taught him for a bit, and he progressed really well, but he ended up moving to the Provo, UT area. We passed him off to the Elders there, and they kept teaching him. This Saturday evening, we got to Zoom in to watch his baptism!! It was so awesome to see such a good guy get to make that promise with God. One of the biggest highlights of the week for sure.

Mafaufauga faaleagaga: Plot twist of the day, I'm actually NOT going to be sharing a spiritual thought in this email. Instead, y'all will just have to tune in this week to my next "Let's Get Personal" live. I dunno when it'll be yet, but it will be a fire episode, trust me. I had a few mind-blowing experiences during personal studies, and I'm excited to share them with y'all.
