This Week was an Awesome Week!







This week was an awesome week!!
I'm just going to jump to the best part which was Saturday!

Saturday was Tawny's baptism!! I don't really know how to put it in words but it was the best baptism I have ever been to!! Little back story behind Tawny. She is 18. She would have been baptized months ago when she first started taking the lessons but her parents wouldn't let her. It was about the time I got here to this area we had a lesson with her and she told us that her parents are now okay with her being baptized!! I guess her Dad was the one that really didn't want her to be baptized but one day he pulled his wife aside and they got talking and just felt it would be Best to let her be baptized! She will be going off to college soon and they want her to have good morals and standards and what not.

So anyways Saturday we had the baptism!! There were so many people there we could hardly fit in the Relief Society Room. Her parents came to it too. Lots of the people were also non members. That was the first time we got to meet with them and they were so cool. They were the nicest people! We went ahead and started the program and the Spirit was so strong!! Her mom was crying the whole time and you could tell her dad was choked up. Right after the baptism her Dad could hardly speak! The Spirit there was amazing! We are really hoping that from this her parents start to investigate. Her Dad is also friends with the Stake President and after he was asking him questions about the church! It was so good that after we had a couple of people come and tell us that out of all the baptisms they have ever been to, even on their missions this one was the best and the most spiritual! It was nothing to do with what we did the Spirit was just so strong. It was amazing!

I also got to go on exchanges this week with Elder Perkins from St George, Utah!! He is the Zone Leader. We got talking about missions and just how cool it is that we have this time to be on missions and how much trust the Lord puts in us! It is really crazy actually how much the Lord trusts us. For example... what got us on this topic was I was able to do my first baptismal interview this week. That was really cool... but crazy!

I'M 19 AND I'M INTERVIEWING PEOPLE FOR BAPTISM!!!

The lady I interviewed is like 60 and when I walked in she kinda started to laugh... she said, I was expecting someone who was like 75 with a long white beard or something.
...but that's not what she got. ha ha ha

Anyways this week was pretty good. I hope all y'all are doing good.
I love you all!!
I like the tie a lot. Actually I like floral ties! Also yes I know the Gamblin's they are way cool! They own the Chevy dealership. Elder Pugh and I went and hung out there for a little bit last P-day.
The fires in Utah look bad!!
I gotta go though.

Have a good week.
I love you all!
