Baptism - Week 25 Marble Falls

June 6, 2016

Well this week we ended up doing a lot of service which was really
fun. There has been a lot of flooding lately so we helped out at a lot
of houses that had been flooded. It's always fun to be able to do some
service.

We also had exchanges this week with the Zone Leaders. So I got to go
up to Austin again for a day. It was pretty fun, you meet all sorts of
interesting people over in Austin. Especially since the Zone Leaders
cover the YSA Ward so they work with all the students from the
University of Texas.

The most exciting part of the week was the baptism! It was a pretty
crazy day. We headed over to the church early to clean the font and
make sure it was clean before. Well, we were filling up buckets of
water to clean it out and I ended up spilling one and flooding a room
in the church.. So we had to clean up all that too.

But we got everything cleaned up and set up. And baptism went great.
The spirit was there very strong and there was lots of crying so
that's always good. We had a few investigators show up at the baptism
as well which was awesome. All the investigators who came only speak
Spanish and so they all became friends and started exchanging numbers
and saying how they could give each other rides to church and
everything. It was awesome.

We also had a Stake Conference yesterday, because of they won't get
confirmed until next week. But it turns out that they created a new
stake so now we are a part of a whole new stake. The church is
growing!

Have a great week, love y'all!
