dear those who read written words,
gueeeeeeeeees what i saw yesterday!? the smallest apple tree ever!!!! that was only kinda cool though. what was really cool is when i saw yolanda get baptised! ( ahem . . . WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
so i would kinda say that that was kinda the highlight of my week. it was an incredible blessing to be here to witness this amazing woman find the gospel. i just feel blessed to be able to even know such a strong dedicated soul like yolanda. nothing could deter her from the gospel once she had learned of its truthfulness and now she's pressing forward with the same amount of dedication to spread the gospel to the rest of her family and to continue on the path towards the rest of eternity. we had the baptism about a half an hour after church yesterday, so it was kinda a crazy experience to get everything transitioned from church set up to we’re about to have a baptism set up. it all worked out in the end though, and even though me and elder pond were, and i quote "running around like two chickens with their head cut off", yolanda was perfectly calm and happy despite the hecticnessocitly of the situation. she also invited pretty much every other person that she knows to her baptism and bore an amazing testimony to all those present and then went around talking to everyone that came and set up appointments with them for a time when they could start meeting with us! ya she's pretty much the best.
i've been blessed amazingly so on my mission and i learn a little more each day about just how much god loves each of his children. it's amazing to see just how much each of us depend upon the atonement. and how much we receive each day despite each of us not really deserving any of it. baptism is the gate by which we enter the path that then leads to eternal life. it is a narrow gate and a long path but we can be sure that it does lead where god says it leads because god will not ever lie to us.
i love this church and i love this gospel i may have said this before but i love being a missionary!!
love you all and i'm grateful for your support
i feel and need your prayers
with love
