Yesterday Charlotte got baptized. It was so good! One of our
investigators, mike, was there and felt the spirit for sure. We talked
to him afterwords and he said he is super excited now to be baptized.
We handpicked 25 chapters from the Book of Mormon we want him to read
in two weeks so he can be baptized on nov 18. So sweet! So we will
have a double baptism on that date.
Mike went to the temple with the branch on Friday. We saw him Friday
night and asked how it was. He was speechless. He couldn't form words
to describe his experience. Even though he couldn't go into the
temple, just walked around it, he felt the spirit for sure. It was
perfect because it lead perfectly into us talking about how our bodies
are temples and we need to live the word of wisdom. So we committed
him to live it and he accepted. So things are going great here.
This week was pretty crazy getting things worked out for charlottes
baptism. Because we didn't even know for sure if she was going to be
baptized until like Tuesday night at like 9:30 pm. She was interviewed
and then president Bednar called us and talked about it and said she
could get baptized. While he was on the phone with us giving us a run
down he finished and said, "elders..... GREAT JOB!....... you have
done marvelous work" and then something along the lines that we
changed charlottes life. When he told us great job and stuff I felt so
much weight taken off my shoulders and I just felt soooo good! It felt
so good to hear president tell us that. It was indescribable how good
it felt. So we were setting up her baptism and such. We had to clean
the font which took a long time because this branch hasn't had a
baptism in years. But now they do. And they will continue to get them
as we are obedient and work hard! Got a couple more lined up so it
isn't stopping!!
So yeah, this week was us scrambling around getting ready for
Charlottes baptism.
During the baptism a video we were trying to play wasn't working, so
while trying to fix it I looked at sister kaiser(who sings
wonderfully), we make eye contact, and she nods her head, and I'm
like, "alright everyone we are actually going to hear sis kaiser
sing!!" Then she sang a song on the spot, man! She came in clutch!!!
She is the best!!! Haha it was so funny though. We both were thinking
the exact same thing! Haha.
Good things are happening. The field is white!
Perfect timing to catch some pics of the sunset over the Susquehanna river.
Also a bomb cheeseburger I made MYSELF!!
