Baptism!!

Hey Everyone!

Well this week was legit! We had a miracle baptism this Saturday!! Really saw the hand of the Lord here as we got ready. Some huge obstacles like last minute, but we did everything we could have, so we put it all in the hands of the Lord.

Jonathan was all set and ready, but left like the day before his baptism to a city like 3 hours away with his older brother and didn't tell us..  So we thought they forgot about the baptism and were super worried. they don't have a phone so we couldn't contact them. Somehow, they got a hold of a member in the ward saying that Jonathan got a stomach bug and was sick and that they didn't know if they would make it. Super worrying. We had invited a bunch of people from the ward, we had filled the font up a day early to be completely ready and then this happens.  The next morning we decided to just go on with what we had planned. We went to chapel to set up and saw the water had all drained! We were ticked and super confused.. The font here stinks..  soo we tried to get it filled again, but its like half damaged, so it wasn't working. After an hour or so, we returned a 0 progress.    A member who used to be the ward mission leader came and literally saved us. He had come to clean the chapel by himself. We asked him if he knew some sort of trick or something to get the font filled, and he helped us outside with the tubes. We had to open up this hatch and stuff a bunch of rags into the drain pipes, because it constantly leaks..  So then it started to fill again.  We  started to clean up the room where the baptism would be held, and then we noticed that the member had left. he, cleaned by himself for like 5 minutes, helped us, and left right away..  That literally was a miracle.  Soo that was the baptism of the week!

 We are excited for the weeks to come. We are on track for another baptism in June.   Well, Hope all of you are doing great. never lose your faith! If we do all that we can do, and then trust in the Lord to do the rest, we will see miracles.  Thanks everyone for the emails, have a great week!
