I love the Lord so very much! He has been so good to me this past week! I'm excited to tell you about my week because it has been so great! So I'll get right into it. On monday I played some dodgeball with my district. That was the first time in a while I played. I've kinda gotten a little out of shape in this area because I haven't been riding my bike. I got tired fast! Ha ha! I'm working on getting back in shape though! Tuesday night at the spanish class the teacher was sick so I filled in for her. They all think I'm amazing at spanish and I know everything, but that is so far from the truth! Ha ha! I still have a long way to go! I'm getting there... slowly. Ha ha!
Wednesday was a very special day! Jatinder was baptized! But I'll get to that in a second. Before that, earlier in the day she had a baptismal interview by our district leader. While he did that she let us hang out in one of their motels. I walked into the motel and on a table was a bible for guests to read and guess what was right next to it!? Yep, a Book of Mormon. She is so awesome! She already is putting BOM's in her motel rooms! They Rock! I had the honor to baptize Jatinder that night at her baptismal service. It went very well! After I baptized her, they closed the doors to the font and Jatinder went to change clothes. As I was standing on the step right by the font all alone joy filled my heart! At that moment I offered a prayer of gratitude for the blessings I have received! A little later in the service she asked to take a few unscheduled minutes away from the program. She went to the front and started bearing her testimony! She talked about how this moment she gets to start a new life and how much she loves the Savior! It was incredible! It made me so very happy! . . .
Zone conference was in Blue Springs near Kansas City. It was such an amazing conference! The spirit there was so strong! It was the spiritual boost I had been pleading and searching for! My prayers were answered and I received the extra strength and motivation I needed. . . . So ya, since the baptisms we had last saturday I've been feeling very great! Friday there was an open house for the newly renovated branch building. Lots of members were there to help out. Not many non members came. Just a half dozen or so. So it wasn't as successful as they would have wished but it was fun and there was homemade bread there! MM! Ha ha! It was a good night.
The next day was Winter's baptism! Her mom and almost all of her brothers and sisters came to the baptism! It was good to see them there to support Winter. Elder McEntire baptized her. . . . On Sunday we had the two confirmations for Winter and Jatinder. I confirmed Winter and Elder McEntire confirmed Jatinder. It was such a great a joyous day! I love this area and the members here! I'm glad I've been able to stay for more than one transfer!
