Hello everyone! This is going to be a really spastic email!
I am going to be all over the place because that is how this week was!
So the reason this
one was so weird and crazy is that, last Monday, Elder Berry was asked to be
the new Assistant to the President! (He is still freaking out about it!) I am
excited for him and he will do great! I am going to really miss being his comp
though! But being that they had to do transfers and a lot of other stuff I was
left alone a lot this week! I should clarify, I was never alone I was just
handed off to different companionships this week! But it was a lot of fun!
The big news this
week is Alec was baptized!!!! It was great! It was a wonderful experience and I
loved it! And more importantly he did as well! There were quite a few
funny/different things that happened during it. Including a few people on the
program not being able to come which made it feel a little thrown together! But
it was great! Alec had asked me to baptize him which was a really good
experience! But he being about 6' 3" and a lot bigger than me made it a
little difficult! Also the font wasn't completely full, he doesn't like being
under water and he had thrown his back out earlier that day at work! All of
that came together to make it a very humorous baptism! But we got him dunked!
Even though it had to be done twice and I had to basically bench press him to
the very bottom! We both looked like we had been baptized at the end! It was
great! I will send pictures next week! I forgot my cord with transfers!
Speaking of that my new companion is Elder Blyel!! He is a
stud! He is from Virginia, been out about a year and been serving Spanish his
whole mission. I was told by Elder Berry that he is one of, if not the, best
teacher in the mission! I am excited about that! He is also 6' 5" which
makes me have quite the lineup of companions! I am excited to be with him! We
also moved apartments and we are now living with the Stake President, President
Polley and his family so that will be fun!
I was also able to do
a really cool baptism interview this week with an 87 year old woman! It was way
cool and she is super ready for it! She wants it more than anything and I am
excited to see her get baptized soon!
We had a really cool experience last night with a lady in
Elder Johnson and Elder Teicherts ward! I spent a lot of time with the two of
them this week! This lady is a recent convert that is having a lot of problems!
We were asked to have a family night with them and share a message. When this
lady walked in she looked down! She looked super tired and depressed and just
unhappy. It was sad. But we had a cool lesson with her and I was able to share
some scriptures with her that really struck her! You could see her countenance
change and her really get the message form the Spirit! Her whole body language
changed and she became excited and really involved in the lesson! It was such a
cool experience!
That will be it for this one!
Love you all!
