It’s been a long week, but it was so awesome!
Monday:
We taught our newly found investigator, Mark. We taught
him all the lessons so he would be prepared for baptism on Saturday.
President Donaldson Ok'ed it, so we
planned his baptism for the upcoming Saturday (the 20th).
Tuesday:
We went to Limerick for exchanges with the Zone leaders
after our district meeting. I went with Elder Hansen and we taught 3
lessons. We taught 2 Brazilians and a French girl. It was great to learn from
Elder Hansen. Our new zone leader is from Mexico so I always talk about my
Mexican friends back home in Texas.
Wednesday:
We traveled back from Limerick. And then spent the rest of the day talking
to people on the streets. Tiring but
very productive!
Thursday:
We taught a man named Davis from Virginia. He has a strong
belief in Jesus Christ. Hopefully we can meet him again to talk more about
the gospel! Later in the night we went
Tracting. It wasn’t very productive and we got a lot doors slammed in our
face.
Friday:
We went on exchanges with the Tralee Elders. It was a lot
of fun. That night we had 8 sleeping in our flat! We had a branch activity that night. It was
a scripture scavenger hunt. The Branch President gave us scriptures and we
had to figure out the item and we had to go find it! It was fun!
Saturday:
The day of Marks baptism. I was excited for Mark because
he has been waiting 2 years for this. I was picked to perform the baptism. I was
excited but quite nervous because it was my first time ever preforming a
baptism. We spent most of the day preparing for it because we had so little time.
When the time came to baptize Mark, I got more nervous. But as I entered the water
with Mark, the spirit helped calm my nerves. I could really feel the spirit, as the words
flowed from my mouth. I was
so grateful to help Mark towards this toward the Celestial Kingdom!
Sunday:
Mark was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter day Saints. He also received the Aaronic Priesthood. After Sunday school, he left to pack
for China. Mark and his wife are leaving to teach
English in China on Monday. I am so grateful that we were able to help Mark
before he went back to China. I truly believe in miracles!
Monday:
We went to Blarney for a car inspection. While we were out there, we went to Blarney Castle. I was able to see
the rest of the grounds that I wasn’t able to see last time. I got some
really cool pictures!
It was such an exciting week. I was looking at my picture
of all of us. I am so grateful for all of you and the prayers and support as
I serve the Lord.
I hope you have a great week.
