Elder Dixon's Mission : Cake and Callings

Hey yall so this week was absolutely crazy and great but also very sad! So first off we had some of the greatest experiences I have ever had this week! Such a christlike week. First on Sunday we had a boss lesson with that family and taught them the plan of salvation they were so so interested. And they had so many questions! It is so amazing to be able to have the full gospel and know that there is a plan for us. Sharing the plan of salvation was so amazing it made me more happy then putting on my football jersey or suiting up for a rival game! Freak sharing the gospel is even better then buck skinnin! I love it so much!

So also another cool story is that on Sunday a members daughter Jasmin told me it was her birthday this week.. So we decided to make her a chocolate cake! So we showed up at her house and she was there with Grandma Cummings and her sister. She said her birthday has been the worst and she was close to tears.. She was so happy to see us! She told us that her dad didn't remember her birthday and her mom has been working all day! So Elder Alldredge and I were so happy we had made her a cake! She couldn't have been more grateful and it was just a cake. We had a little party you could say. We played some family games and then we went around the room and all said why we love Jasmin. It was amazing she was holding back the tears of joy! Then on our way out she shook my hand and said "Elder Dixon thank you for giving me the best birthday ever" Man that touched me so much! Nothing is better than to make someones day and to help a family spend quality time together!!

That night it was one of our other members Paula's birthday and we made her a cake too. She was so happy! After singing to her we went around and said why we loved her. I told her that she is an amazing mother and that she is so good to her kids and that she always puts herself after them. She was balling!!

This week I have realized that to make someones day isn't about a cake or a party but it is telling them how much we love them and how much God loves them!!

Also we got transfer calls which made me super sad because I am leaving beautiful Grenada and a Brother, Elder Alldredge! But I am going back to Barbados! I am going to be an assistant to the president! So it will be full of new experiences! I feel completely in inadequate to be an AP but I will do my best!! So I will leave probably tomorrow to go to Barbados! I will be in a different area then before though.

Well I love you all and am so grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ! and for the pure love of Christ! I love being able to help someone in their lives!

Love, Elder Dixon
