Baptisms

Hey everyone!

Hope y'all had a great week. We've had a pretty good week here, had some solid lessons. Isatu is getting baptized this Saturday! If you don't remember, she is the girl whose family has been inactive for years, because her Mom works on Sunday, and we just happened to stumble onto their names on our referral list, showed up, found out that Isatu (the daughter) had been wanting to get baptized for a long time, so we got arrangements for her to get to church, and set her with a baptism date! So excited for her.

We got to teach Kamilah again, which was fun. She's got a super fun personality, and she was wearing a shirt that had a koala bear with a snapback hat, gold chains, and like a gun or something, I was like yo that's so tight! We had a good lesson with her about the Book of Mormon, she seemed very interested, and said she would read the Book of Mormon and pray about it.

Yesterday we got to go to the baptism of our zone leaders and that was amazing. I met the girl getting baptized when I went on exchanges with them. She is so awesome! When I went to a lesson with her she mentioned that she had to go into surgery 12 years ago for something, and then during surgery her heart stopped, and she didn't know it until her Mom told her when she was describing her "dream". She said she was in a big open field, with a mansion in the distance, when she started walking towards it she met someone who was very close to her that died a few years before, and he told her that she couldn't go to the mansion because it wasn't her time yet, and then she woke up surrounded by doctors, and everything. So yeah she's pretty great. Her Mom was there too, and she isn't a member, but she kinda bore her testimony at the end saying how much she supports her daughter in this, and she knows it's the right path and everything. It was so awesome. And they had pretty bomb food afterwards.

Hope y'all have a great day, and I miss and love all y'all!
