How are you all doing?!?!?!?!?! Wow
this week was crazy! Remember when those elders were working in our area.
Welp...we were teaching a 10 yr old (his mom is a less active member) but the
parents of this kid weren't allowing him to get baptized....because he was so
young. But through some miracle, the elders being the crazy guys they are...they
got permission for this kid to be baptized! And so we baptized and confirmed him
this week!!!!!!! He has a lot of spirit and is a handful. But it was super cool
to be able to see him baptised. And his parents went to the baptism tooo! The
mom afterwards said that he will be the pride of their family and he will grow
up to be an example for everyone else. How exciting! Anyways...hes really cool
and he is liked a lot...obviously! Haha. Anyways..he is a "Present" for the ward from
us :D
Anyways so Im training. In the picture Ill send is a picture of me and Sister Bullen and Sister Neves and the boy we baptized. Sister Bullen is from Alaska.
And she has a really good spirit. She has a really strong will and desire to
learn portuguese and to be a good missionary. I hope that she likes me and I can
help her! She doesnt say it...but Im sure she is a little stressed out because
of the language....ya, that was me just a few months ago! But she is really awesome and she is going to be a
powerful missionary. The other night...she fell asleep with the lights on
before she was praying....haha I forgot how tiring the field is at first. Now
that Im an "old person" in the mission, I can say that I am experienced and know
what it feels like....hahahahaha just kidding! Geez....sometimes we feel so
inadequate and feel like, "what was I thinking?" or "what is Heavenly Father
thinking?!". But I know that nothing in our life happens by circumstance and
Heavenly Father really is shaping our lives and our spirits for His
Kingdom.
Anyways....sorry it was so short...I feel like my time in the field...time
in the day....is literally running by and I never have time to do all I want to
do. Oh well...welcome to life!
Love you all and have a fabulous week!
