Helllllllooooooooo!
Hope you all had an awesome week!
Me and Elder Burns had about as good of a week as you can have as missionaries! It was full of awesome lessons with our investigators, we met a lot of awesome people, and best of all N__ was Baptized!
This week was great! I went on exchanges twice this week. Once with the zone leaders and the other time with the district leader. Exchanges are tons of fun so doing it twice in one week was a party!
On Thursday we met with N__ and went up to the Temple and did a tour of the visitors center. We talked about temples and how amazing and important they are and it went really well! She said she is excited to go do baptisms for the dead as soon as she is Baptized and confirmed!
Now for the best part of the week... Sunday! Yesterday was the craziest but the best Sunday ever! N__'s baptism was at 5:00p so we were getting everything all setup for that throughout the day. We had meetings in the morning until church started at 10:30a and it was also the primary sacrament meeting program. In order to get enough primary kids together to put on a program our ward had to combine with the Spanish ward. Because of that the church schedule was a little backwards and we had sacrament meeting last. So first we had sunday school and then Elder Burns and I taught in elders quorum then we had the primary program. It was super unique and cool! Most of the kids in the program were from the Spanish ward because our primary is so small but what made it really cool was that most of the kids knew Spanish AND English! So they would get up and say their part in Spanish and then say the same thing in English. They were so little and they could already speak two languages! I thought that was really cool! After church we ran back to the apartment and ate some lunch and then ran right back to the church to get ready for N____'S BAPTISM!
N__'s Baptism was the coolest experience ever! She invited all of her family and some of her friends and the baptism went so well! N__'s parents only speak Spanish so we did it a lot like the primary program. We would say everything in English and then the Spanish missionaries would say it in Spanish. The spirit was so strong and N__'s parents were very interested! We are definitely going to have the Spanish missionaries go and meet with them! N__ was Baptized and everything went so great! It was super amazing and so great to be able to help someone enter the gate on the straight and narrow path!
I love sharing the blessings that come from the Gospel!
Have a great week!
