Hello my beautiful people!!!
This week has been amazing!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, where do I begin?!?!
First off, Jordan Reid's baptism went swimmingly. (lol, pun intended)
His dream was to have all the sister missionaries that taught him at his baptism, and we were like, "Sorry Jordan all your homies are on the other side of the city, but we can tell them to ask permission to come."
So, it was basically a miracle when all of them got to come watch Jordan be baptized.
I love being able to see the light in other's eyes as the accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so thankful for all that Christ has done for each one of us, so we are able to partake in seeing others become closer to Him as well.
I am so thankful for missionary work, bringing people closer to Jesus Christ is my favorite thing ever. The spirit was so strong at Jordan's baptism. I talked to his parents (non-members) a little bit afterwards, and his mom said "You know, I couldn't help but get choked up when I saw him in the water."
Literally, I was going to say, "Well. that is the spirit, do you want that feeling with you for your whole life, the water is still warm?" but, I am definitely not that bold quite yet.
Louis (our investigator) was at the baptism. I asked him if he could feel the spirit during the baptism, and he said, "Yes, but I think I want to help someone else before I am baptized." He is such a great missionary, we are having a birthday party for him on Saturday and he said, "There are going to be at least 30 people there, I want 10 missionaries there so that we can be spreading the gospel to everyone at my birthday party."
Literally, who is this guy!?!? He is so sweet, he is turning 19. so that definitely means we will bring up missions with him. He is so cool!
On Friday, we got to go to English Class with the Mandarin Elders for "Fairytale Friday." We performed (and it was a performance), "The Three Little Pigs."
ANNNND guess who got to be the BIG BAD WOLF, that's right, yours truly. 🙋💁
I was the best big bad wolf ever, very intimidating.
Lol, all those Chinese people we rolling, literally, rolling on the floor laughing every time I spoke.
We got to go sing at a fireside that President Pattison was speaking at on Sunday. When we were practicing a bit before Sister Van Vleet, my Sister Training Leader, asked "do you think there'll be refreshments?" We all laughed and assured her there probably would be some sort of sugary goodness. Bonus story within the story. The closing song of the fireside was Called to Serve and Sister Van Vleet stood right up to sing it and by the end, everyone in the chapel was belting the most classic missionary song there ever was. We sat back down for the closing prayer and it was a very nice prayer. At the end the kid praying added on "Please bless the refreshments." We lost our reverence for a minute while Sister Van Vleet started smacking everyone in our pew because there were going to be refreshments. They were ice cream sandwiches and they were delicious.
Also, I found out that President Pattison got married 3 days after he got home from his mission, oh my goodness. stress. But, they are still happily married, so whatever floats your goat I guess.
Well, i love you all so much!! I hope that you are all doing well!
