Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I must have to say that this week has been EPIC!! It has really been a good one, and I am so excited and happy about what is going on here! We have seen some amazing things this week, and more than anything I actually feel like I am being the example to my comp, and my district! We had a really good week. We had an exchange with the Assistants, and interviews, and we also had a baptism. I really could not ask for much more. The exchange with the assistants was really good. They have a way about them to inspire everyone, and to get people to work hard. We talked to so many people while they were here, and then that didn’t change when they left. We kept that fire going and had a great time after they left! I really felt good about the things that we were able to do.
Interviews were great as well. Normally when we leave those meetings we feel a bit rebuked, and a bit like horrible missionaries, but not this time. It was really good, we all felt great! We talked about great things, and my interview with president was really good. We mostly talked about other missionaries in the district, and how we could help them. He had a very serious talk with one of them that I was concerned with, and that really helped the missionary out a lot!!! I love president!
Last Monday we went to Liverpool to see the sights, and what not! It was really cool. I really love that town, and all the cool history that is there. You can tell be the pictures that we got to do some cool things! We seriously have to go there when you come over, it is amazing!
Yesterday we had a really cool baptism. Ashley Byrne, our 13 year old bombshell of an investigator, got baptized. She has been such a joy to teach! She has kept every commitment, and done everything so well. We had quite an interesting thing happen though. The water in the font was green! Yes that’s right it was all discoloured. No one really knows why but it was. We started the font right before sacrament meeting, and didn’t think anything of it. I gave a talk about the Council in Heaven, well really about the Plan of Salvation, and it was good. It looked amazing on paper, but never really comes out the same. I talked a lot about why we said yes in the pre-mortal life, and that we really said yes to the Celestial Kingdom. We said yes to the reward that we knew we could receive, and whatever we had to do to get to that reward we were willing to do cause we knew how great it was going to be. That’s my little theory, but tell me what you think.
Anyways we went out after my talk to check on the font, and the water was proper green!!!!! We freaked. We ran to shut off the water, drained the font really quick, and started again, hoping and praying that it would be good this time. The problem didn’t get fixed though, and so she had to get baptized in green water. She is a little sad at first, but the man that baptized her was telling her about how people used to get baptized in rivers, canals, and what not, and so she said that this water would be fine! It will be a funny story to tell in the future. Other than that it was a good baptism. She is so cool!!!! I hope that you enjoy the pictures.
Anyways I need to get going. I love you all so so much.
