What's up everyone! This week was great! A week ago on Monday, we had the baptism for one of our investigators, Laura! She's 21 years old, has been progressing so well, and was so ready to be baptized!! The baptism went well, and we had a lot of members show up to support her, too. About two weeks ago, Laura told us that her family hadn't been supportive of her getting baptized but would let her do it if it was her decision. Well, once the day of the baptism came, they were the first ones to show up for the baptism! We gave them a tour of the church and taught them a little and it went great. They took pictures with Laura in her baptismal clothing and were very supportive. It was a blessing for sure.
Sadly, however, the font heater had been broken when we thought it had been heating all day, and so the water was freezing!!! The Hermano that did the baptism couldn't get the drain to come off either. So after about an hour later of saying goodbye and walking people home, I had to get in and drain the water myself. I felt so bad for the Hermana because the water was so so cold haha. But she was so great about it.
Just yesterday in church she received the Gift of the Holy Ghost. And for testimony meeting, she stood up and gave a super powerful testimony about how she has received a confirmation for herself that this church is true, and that she knows she's making the correct decisions in her life. It was super cool and touched everyone in the chapel.
Also, this week we had Zone Conference in Momos! It was my first time being back since leaving, and this time I was leading the conference. For my first year in the mission, I'd always looked up to the Zone Leaders that would sit in front of everyone and direct the conference. So being back for my first time and being that missionary that was directing the conference with three Zones combined was cool for me. Made me think how long I've been here for haha. Only two transfers left, you guys...
Today we found out about transfers--my comp is leaving, and I'll be staying here in ToTo and getting a new comp. I'm excited.
Have a good week! Tell me when fill out my bracket.
