Oy minha familia e meu amigos!
This week was muito bom! A few things happened that were
pretty exciting! The first one was I had my first baptism this week! It was a
pretty great experience; of course a few things went wrong. When I entered the
baptismal font and closed the door behind me the handle broke off in my hand.
Secondly I forgot my sandals and had to borrow some from an Irma in the ward.
As soon as they hit the water they came off my feet and I almost fell in
completely. But I was fine. The actual baptism part went great! It was really
spiritual and I am excited to help more people come unto Christ. Afterward, I
had someone open the door from the other side so I could get out of the font.
On Saturday we had splits with the zone leaders. I went with
an Elder to interview some people for baptism in a different area. We were able
to stay and see the baptism which was really cool. The chapel in this area
doesn´t have a baptismal font, so we used an inflatable swimming pool. It was a
bit different but still really awesome. It just reminded me that the spirit can
manifest itself in the most humble of circumstances.
On Sunday I gave a talk in the ward. It was kind of like
watching an airplane take a nose dive and right before it hits the ground and
explodes the pilot pulls up and saves the plane from crashing. My talk was
rough at first but after awhile I just stopped, relaxed and listened to the
spirit, it all went smoothly.
Anyway I love you guys very much thanks for your letters and
emails! Until next week.
