I had my first Baptism and
conformation last Saturday! We have been teaching these three kids (ages 11,12,
and 13) living with their grandma ever since I got here and now they're members!
The oldest son is going to get the priesthood within the next two weeks so
that's exiting. when we filled up the font the day before they were baptized the
water came out brown so we had to empty the font and start over the next
morning. By a crazy awesome miracle we were able to keep the water fairly clear
and it finished filling up 5 minutes before the baptism! Two of the kids asked
me to baptize them which is strange because my companion is the one who found
them a week before I got here. But its cool that they liked me enough to have me
do it. The next Sunday in Sacrament Meeting we gave them the gift of the Holy
Ghost and confirmed them members. 10 minutes later I gave my second talk in
sacrament meeting in the Many Farms Ward. Not a lot of members are active (
40-50 every Sunday) and even fewer members will give a talk. The missionaries
make the Sunday programs and teach gospel doctrine sometimes. We even take care
of youth nights on Wednesdays which is super fun! The active member families
here are fun to talk to. Our area is super spread out so the last couple weeks
we've been track-ting in places that have probably never seen missionaries, just
so we can find less actives and new investigators. We went on top of this mesa
and there were a bunch of horses running around all cool like. Yesterday we went
to the Snow-Flake, Az, Temple and it was spectacular! they have native american
artwork and poetry in the temple. They have a huge native rug outside the
dressing rooms that is just crazy beautiful! I'm having loads
of fun on my mission and I cant wait to have more mud stories for you! Till next
Monday, Peace!
