| The Cela's baptism!! |
Man this week was really busy but we got so
much done! So on Monday we got the Cela's married! It was so awesome! I think I
talked about it last week though but it was really really special. Then on
Wednesday they were baptized and confirmed! It was such an amazing baptism.
They wanted to do it at night in the lake so that they could do it under the
stars.. it was amazing! So right after they were both baptized and stuff we
were all kind of hugging them and congratulating them and stuff and then we all
just looked up and it was full of stars it was so pretty! Definitely a moment I
will not forget and they were both really emotional it was a very special
moment. Then after wards we confirmed them at the church which was special, we
normally don't do that, but because they are left to Greece a few days later
our mission president let us! It was a really really special day.
So we have also been teaching this kid named Enea.. he is
actually the twin brother of one of the members named. We have been teaching
him for a while but last week he came to us and told us that he doesn't really
feel ready for baptism and that he doesn't really feel like it is something he
has to do so we were kind of bummed about that.. But we told him to just keep
reading and praying and he will find his answer! So he came to the Cela's
baptism and before we went into another room with him and had him say a prayer
asking to know if this church was true or not and if baptism was something that
he needed to do.. So he did and that was that.. nothing too special happened
that day and we were kind of just planning on how else we could help him. So on
Friday night we put together a "movie night" with our English Course
and the members and some of our investigators. We watched the long film about
Joseph Smith and stuff which was awesome they all loved it! And after the film
Enea came over to me and was like "I got an answer to my prayer.. I want
to be baptized and I want to before Elder Samuel leaves!" (Elder Samuel
leaves on Tuesday) so we were like okay! And so we got him interviewed and
ready and we baptized him on Saturday! It was sick! He wanted to be baptized at
night in the lake as well so that is what we did. It was really really
special!! 3 baptisms in one week it was amazing!! 
So as I have mentioned before this was Elder Samuel's last
week! It was a really good way to end his mission I would say! I am going to
miss him so much it has been so much fun to be with him his last 6 weeks of his
mission! He has been such a great example for me and I have learned a lot from
him. It is going to be hard seeing him go home! But president called me and
told me that for my last 6 weeks I will be training a new missionary! So I am
looking forward to that new challenge next week.
It is going to be great!
Have
a great week!
