Hello everyone!!
This week has,.. Well been another week. Haha. Full of missionary
work. We were so optimistic about all these potentials we had,... And
they all flogged. 😢 but that's ok, they will get another chance to
hear the gospel one day. The highlight of this week was definitely
Emma's baptism. 😊😄 though also the most stressful because literally
everything went wrong. It started when sister mwoyosvi and I drove up
to Peterborough chapel (Stamford doesn't have a font) and found people
setting up a bouncy slide. It was for a birthday party someone didn't
want to have in the rain.
The next thing was that our district leader was late to come fill up
the font. So the baptism was about an hour later then planned. But it
was ok because everyone was stuck in traffic from some fancy horse
competition. And that's not all!! When the font was finally full
enough, it was too hot!! A few other things happened besides that as
well... So definitely one of the craziest weekend of my entire
mission, but the actual baptism went fine, she was baptised by her dad
😊 which was so so great, and Emma was so happy afterwards, (the
birthday party people even let the kids play on the slide)
And she was confirmed at church the next day ( though she is SO shy,
the priesthood holders had to come to the back of the room where she
was sitting.)
Also, miracles happened at church-- there was a senior couple serving
in the London mission, with two investigators who live in our area!!
How crazy!! The funniest part to me was I was fasting to be able to
find solid new investigators, and we walked through the doors and
there were these missionaries with new people! All I could think was
"that was fast."
Yup, so this week has taught me a few different things. One was
patience. I learn that a lot. Another was forgiveness. Mostly about
how forgiving others feels so good on both sides.
Love you all, hope you have a great week!!
