It's been a crazy week!
Haha, I just realized I could (and probably do) start every email
that way, I can't think of any week where I couldn't start out that
way.
Anyways, the point is a lot happened as usual!
On Tuesday, we went to the New Missionary Meeting. Get it? It's
funny, cuz I was there just a few days ago it feels like, and now I was
there again! But not as a new missionary! so weird haha. I got to see
some of my favorite people there which was a lot of fun, and afterwards
we were eating lunch in the mission home. So I'm sitting down eating
and I get a call from DeeDee (whose baptism is in like 5 days.)
We had a lesson at 4 o'clock that day, which she cancelled because she
said she wasn't feeling well. Then she went on to say that her friends
had been talking to her about why she shouldn't join the Mormon Church,
and she should go to a bunch of other churches instead, and listen to
what other preachers had to say about mormonism, and she said she didn't
want to get baptized anymore, maybe she would consider it down the
road. So we reschedule the lesson for Thursday.
So on Thursday we're trying to have this lesson, and Sister C (in the ward) is supposed to come as well
Except Sis.
C is lost and we have trouble getting her there, so we're like 25
minutes late, and we call DeeDee on the phone and she's just like
telling us about her day and how terrible it's been and everything she's
going through- it was all so stressful! But eventually we get in and
everything falls into place. Sis. C and DeeDee click immediately,
and throughout the whole lesson, she is just the perfect person to be
there for her. DeeDee felt the spirit really really strong, and
definitely recognized it. She said she still wanted to be baptized on
the 14th and hoped it wasn't too late. I told her it wasn't too late :)
[[because I never cancelled it in the first place hahahaha]]
Her baptism was awesome, and I remembered to bring my camera, so I
have a picture of it! My boy (his new companion, Elder B, fresh from the MTC) got to baptize her, and I witnessed, it
was AWESOME :) I'm so proud of him, I may or may not write more about
him later, but he's legit.
DeeDee was baptized on the 14th, and I got to confirm her on the
15th and I'm so excited for her! She likes meeting new people, so Relief
Society has been awesome for her, and a lot of awesome women have been
welcoming her with open arms!
Oh, also when we went to church, we ran into the bishop before
sacrament meeting. He told us that a nonmember was talking to his LDS
friend, and this nonmember, Marius, asked what church he should go to.
The LDS friend told him to come to ours, of course haha :)
So he showed
up, by himself, at church! We sat by him and answered his questions and
such (He was an active catholic, so he knows a lot about church, but
had never been to an LDS service, so we talked about some of the
similarities and differences), and we are going to meet again on
Wednesday for the first discussion.
But my favorite part is this- He
was gonna meet with the bishop after sacrament meeting, so he goes out
into the hall towards his office. At this time, Elder B and I are talking
with other people, so we aren't there, but as Marius walking down the
hall, he passes some missionaries from the other ward. They notice he
is wearing jeans, so they are talking to him, and ask if he's a member,
and he replies "No, but soon to be." hahaha isn't that awesome?!? One
of the missionaries who talked to him was my friend, Elder H, so
he told me about it about 5 minutes later , haha.
