Well what a week! So it
flew by like nothing but it ended so well. We did have the baptism this
weekend and it went great. I had to give a talk on baptism and Elder Fry
got to perform the baptism since he's never done it before. Amanda, our
baptism, is awesome it's kinda crazy how it all worked out from start
to finish but it is a good story. It turns out we were looking for her
ex-husband who is a less-active on the roster and when we went to the
address we met Amanda. We told her who we were and what we were doing
there and asked if she would like to learn more and it kinda took off
from there. We came back a week later and had a lesson that went alright
and set another appointment. The second lesson was definitely the
turning point to everything, We just read Alma 7 with her and related it
to her life and that's when we set the baptismal date. It really shows
how powerful the Book of Mormon can truly be. Since then we have just
been teaching her all that she would need to know and answering all of
her questions (she really had some good questions). Sunday August 26th
was the big day and it all went really well. So our week was definitely
focused on that then of course we got the transfer calls on Saturday,
and I will be staying here and training a new guy. Someone who is
probably just getting to the mission home as I'm typing. So the next
little while should be real exciting. It will be sad to see Fry go but
he's been here his entire mission and he came out right when I went to
Danville so it has been a little while.
Glad to hear you had a
good time in Seattle you'll just have to do better next year when I can
actually see it. That trade the dodgers made is crazy. They better tear
it up now. Hope BSU does well this year as well. I'm sure this week will
be really busy and I'll have a lot to tell you about. Love all of you and miss ya
