Hey ya'll! I can't believe I'm beginning a new week already! It's
crazy. Time just goes by so quickly.
So since the last time I emailed this is what has happened haha
Friday:
Friday we met with Cynthia again to just go over everything for the
baptism. After that we went and met a new ami named Juan-Jose. He's
pretty cool and from Spain! So he just speaks Spanish which is good
for my companion who was called to speak in Spanish. Then we finished
getting everything ready for our baptism
Saturday:
Saturday was the day!! We had a CRAZY day. We woke up and it was
pouring rain. Cynthia was supposed to be baptized in a pool outside
and it was pouring. Soeur Van Loon and I decided to pray that just for
the baptism it would be good. We went through the day and at around
noon (the baptism was at 3:00) the rain stopped, the sun came out,
and it even got hot! It was amazing! We were able to go through with
the baptism and everything went perfectly. It was awesome and the
spirit was so strong. After the baptism there was a ward activity, so
naturally we went haha. We got to sing karaoke! It was a BLAST!
Sunday:
Sunday we had church. Our branch is well, interesting haha. But good!
Everything kinda was a little out there, but ça va! I'm sure as were
there we'll either 1) get used to it or 2) things will get better
haha. After we went and did studies and had dinner with the ward. It
was a great Sunday.
I'm excited to be here and I'm loving the mission. The mission is not
easy, but it's definitely worth it! Just the opportunity you have to
be here serving others is just an incredible chance! I have gotten to
know my savior so much better and I love it. There is nothing better
than serving a mission, I tell yah what!! :)
Love you all and I'm praying for you!

Weekly Spiritual Thought:
This weeks spiritual though comes from the talk "Let Virtue garnish
thy thoughts unceasingly" by Gordon B Hinckley. It's amazing but this
part really touched me.
"There is no other event in human history as significant as the
atoning sacrifice of our divine Redeemer. None else compares with it.
Without it life would be meaningless. It would be a dead-end journey.
With it we are assured of eternal life. Death is not the end, but
rather a passing on to a more glorious existence.
All of this is symbolized in the partaking of the sacrament. All other
items in our meetings are of lesser importance compared with partaking
the emblems of the sacrifice of our Lord."
I challenge you all this week to make the sacrament more meaningful by
choosing a new way that you will remember the savior and all he has
done for us.
