This month I had my first baptism! Her name is Danna and she is 14. I gave a talk at the baptism about the importance of the Holy Ghost and then we took LOTS of pictures :) We are really excited for her and it was amazing to see the change in her after her baptism. I can't really even describe it.
There is a LOT of work going on, even though we had a few sick days this week :/ Danna has 2 brothers who we are teaching right now and we are working with them a lot. We hope that they all will be able to be baptized soon. Eternal family HERE THEY COME!
Another of our investigators, Oscar, who is probably around 60 and is seriously one of the sweetest old men EVER, fasted on Sunday even though the rest of his family (who are members) didn't. THAT'S what I'm talking about :)
Oh also I had a birthday and that was cool.
We also somehow ended up teaching the elders' investigator and because we were visiting teaching his wife, who is a member. They came to church after years of not going! YES!!! You're welcome Elders!
Highlight of the week: A member telling me that I don't have a gringo accent!!! He probably was just being nice but I appreciate it anyway!!!!
Love you all! The Church is true! I love it so that's why I'm doing this. It's hard to be a missionary. Really hard. Sometimes I wonder how I actually do this. But I do it because I love my Heavenly Father and I love this work and I know that he wants me to be here. And there is nothing like seeing someone read the Book of Mormon and see that new light in their eyes. It seriously is there and I'm not even joking. You should try it sometime :)
Choose the right and know what you stand for!
Love,
Sister Reed
