Cannon Ball (St Baptism YAY!!)


Dear Mum,

            Before I start people have been telling me that they have been sending me e-mails but I haven’t received all of them. For example I haven’t received any from Steph and Dustin, or anybody from their family. So I don’t really know what’s going on… But keep writing me :) I’ll try my best to write back to all even if it is a few words!

What a great week :) I’m going to give you a recap on the important days of the week where miracles happened or it was just a good day :) and note that the other days were just normal missionary days. Where you tract, talk to as many people as possible, have some appointments fall through, walk around, tract some more, and have a great time while doing it :)

So I kinda forgot to remind you that I was baptising Danny yesterday…. So just to let you know, I HAD MY FIRST BAPTISM YESTERDAY :) WEHU!! So awesome!! Haha It was a great experience! He was so excited the whole time! He couldn’t sit still. Ha But the best part was when he came into the font… So I walked into the font first and then I looked behind me to make sure he was coming in and then all of a sudden he starts running at me and does a cannon ball!! Hahahaha LOL :) :) :) :) :) :) :) I didn’t know what to do so I just smiled and tried to remain calm, because if you remain calm nothing bad will ever happen. Haha (That advice is from Adamal :)) It was also a little awkward cuz everybody just started laughing and it’s supposed to be this spiritual experience and he just does a cannon ball :) haha  but what can you do? He’s only 8 years old :) So you could say Sunday was a GREAT day :)

 

Wednesday- Oh MY DAYS Wednesday was proper (really) good. We have been praying to find a family to teach and we set up an appointment to go teach a family and then when we got there, they weren’t home. :( We then went to some other potential investigators homes to see if they would like to listen to us and the last one that we go to, lets us in :) So already this is a miracle. Cuz we are never let in. haha we go in and the whole family is in the family room and we teach them about prayer and that God is our loving Heavenly Father and that he wants to hear from them. And we also talked about the Book of Mormon. They loved it! They soaked it all up!! And at the end of the lesson the head of the house said the closing prayer for us :) :) :) :) YIPEE!! Such a great miracle oh we were so happy when we got out of their home we were on cloud 9!! Nothing could bring us down :)

 

Friday- was also pretty amazing :) So we went to this older lady’s home who is a member, just to stop by and say hi and to set up an appointment with her cuz we didn’t know who she was. All we knew was that her name was Betty. :) So when she opened the door I couldn’t help myself but I said, “Oh, so you’re Betty” hahah you know like when Bob says it on What about Bob? Ya that’s the exact voice I did and everything :) :) :) hahahahahah LOL So she agreed to have us come over on Tuesday night and then we had some time so we tracted around her street and everybody we talked to knew Betty (the old lady member) and wanted to catch up with her. So we, being the deceiving lil’ devils that we are, told them we were going to be at her home on Tuesday night and they could come to catch up with Betty. And every single person was like “Oh my days that sounds so great. We’ll be there.” Hahha so I think the whole neighbourhood is going to be in Betty’s home on Tuesday night. And we just might convert the whole street. Hahah who am I kidding that would never happen. Hahah But ya what a great night :)

            It sound like everybody is doing great! I can’t believe only a few more weeks then its CHRISTMAS!!! Haha Wehu :) Just let me know what time you want to skype and I’ll do it. Cuz we don’t do anything on Christmas except we watch Disney Movies so I am going to watch Tangled, (“She’s got a dream, She’s got a dream”) Open Season, (“What’s a Shaw?” “I called him Smelliot, hahah Herd Circle formation! No you pin-heads that’s an oval more cirlcey.”) Grinch, (Get the Stick Max Get the Stick Max *pretends to throw a stick* he I’m smarter.) Ice Age hahaha :) and so much more so just let me know cuz I’ll just be watching movies all day long :)

I love you guys and your reading assignment for this week is Alma 5. But more specifically verses 16,22,27,28,33,50-51,60, and 62 :) Love YOU XIOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXOXO
