Baptism!

This week, as the title suggests, we had a baptism. It went pretty well. Our song as a missionary choir wasn't perfect, but people cried, so that's good right? Haha (or it was that bad.) Her baptism was great even though she was terrified of the water and she was practically shoved under. In her testimony after, she told everyone there was a party in heaven and she was really happy. It was pretty sweet. Its amazing to see lives change and the happiness the gospel brings.


This week we had Super divisions, where everyone in our zone trades companions for the day. It was pretty exciting, not going to lie. I got put with a greenie. But, she is really great and doesn't seem like she is new. It made me have less fear if in the future I get the opportunity to train. It was actually kind of fun. And I learned a lot from her. The next day when we traded back, we had a little "What did you learn and how did inviting people to baptism in the first contact go." She told everybody something I said after she had cut me off to invite someone, "Why wait, its there salvation." It wasn't MY words. But I think it helped a lot of other people too.



One of our investigators, who is 13, we had to change her baptismal date last night. When we gave her the new date, her mother said she will be baptized the same day. Which means, WERE GOING TO HAVE A WEDDING!!! :D YAY!!! (Also, random side note, she gave me my first wedding present. Im not even engaged... haha) But, her husband agreed to finally get married to her. And he "secretly" listens in to all of the lessons, so, maybe he will be baptized too. Its a land of miracles!


Also, I am staying with my companion for another transfer! Yay! We get to keep working together in this area. Its really exciting.

Sadly, I used a lot of my time to respond to other wonderful emails, but that's the stuff most exciting and important from this week. I love you all and testify that this is Christ church. He lives. His Atonement was perfect and we need to ALWAYS remember him! The Book of Mormon is true!! Loves!
