BEST WEEK EVER!

Hi

Seriously. This has been SUCH a wonderful week. I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll just go chronologically.

Bob was BAPTIZED on Friday! It was such a wonderful service. On Friday we had this crazy rain storm and the power went out at the church (along with like half of town) like 1.5 hours before the service was supposed to start. So we had to fill the font up with cold water and we asked everyone who was coming to bring flashlights. We were prepared. But, at 7 - like on the dot - the lights came back on! It would have been kind of fun to do it in the dark, but it is great that the lights turned on:) We went and saw him the next day and he was seriously glowing. Definitely a new man. As we were driving away he came and stopped us and looked at me and with tears in his eyes said thank you so much for coming up and talking to me that day we met him. I am filled with so much joy. Indescribable.

 

Ignacio was BAPTIZED on Saturday! It was so wonderful! His wife and family were so happy. I loved being a part of it! He comes from a Catholic background, and he was a bit nervous to tell his fam. So on Friday (the day before the baptism) he told his parents! They both came! And they came to church on Sunday! Our Mission President and his wife came to the service as well, it was so wonderful! Ignacio and his wife are planning on getting sealed next year! I'll still be on my mission so if everything works out, I can go:)

Crazy. No baptisms for months and then both the same weekend, but it was wonderful! They were both confirmed on Sunday! Oh goodness, it was so great!

On Sunday this woman we've been seeing for a while came to church with 3 of her kids. She really enjoyed it and said she wants to come back!!:)

And on Sunday night a woman who is getting baptized in a few weeks went to a fireside at the Mission Home last night. Her name is Gina and has a ton of Mormon friends and wanted to learn more. She is getting baptized next month. She is TOTALLY ready to get baptized, and was planning on this next weekend, but she broke her collar bone and fractured her neck when she was playing with her granddaughter. She is so funny. At the fireside last night she looked at me and said she wants me to marry her son ha-ha. I told her she better convert him then because I want to get married in the temple ha-ha.

So that was my week! It has been WONDERFUL! I love serving a mission! I love inviting people to come to Christ and then have the blessing to see the difference in their lives when they do.

Love you all!

Love,

Sis Walton
