Ok, I have been waiting a long time to send that subject line! We got a baptism! Adam was baptized on Friday
and let me tell ya, the adversary did not want it to happen. First off,
we started late because of all the traffic. His mom was flippin out
because she was stressed. The talks went really well! After the talks
we headed to the baptismal font. The old man baptizing Adam stepped into
font and immediately stepped out. He said it was too hot.... too hot?!
That never happens! It is usually too cold. We drained some of the water
out and filled it up with some cold water. The baptism was quick and
good. Then, when they went to dry off there were no towels. We found
something to dry them off with and wait for them to change, that took
another half year. We did the confirmation and then closed. We had some
good refreshments though. It was the most hectic baptism that I have
ever been a part of.
I missed this last week but I want to say happy Father's Day! I have so many amazing father figures in my life. I especially want to say thank you to both my dad and my step dad, Niel. They have both played huge roles in my life and development. I can go to my dad with anything and I know he can show me love and help me get through any problem in life. I have learned and appreciate all the outdoor skills from Niel. We have been on some great adventures! I am so glad that I got two to help me though this life. Most importantly I am very grateful for my Heavenly Father. I am so grateful that he has set up the plan of redemption and loves me so much to send His son. The biggest thing I have learned on my mission is strengthening my relationship with him. My earthy fathers love me but I know my Heavenly Father loves me even more and will know how to best help me in any situation, though it may be hard. I came across the verse, 1 Nephi 20:10 that has helped me in my afflictions. I know that God loves me and he loves all his children very individually.
Other things that happened his week was I hit my year mark! Man has it flown! I can't wait to see what I turn into in this next year. We also had Zone Conference and I always love those! We talked with the stake president and he told us his vision with missionary work. He wants every member to have an investigator in there home one night out of the year. I see that is very doable. We figured out to reach his baptismal goal that we must increase on baptism a month. We can do it! I also helped out at the Nashville garden and that was super fun! Got to get out and work hard in the fields! Man was it hot and humid but I absolutely love it! I honestly kind of like humid heat better then dry heat because everyone else is sweating as much as me!
Have a blessed week y'all! Until next time.
