Hermana en España: First Baptism!

August 25, 2014

This week was so fabulous!!! So so so great! The best part was definitely M´s baptism yesterday:) I don't think I´ve ever been more excited for anything in my life! Of course we had to jump through some hoops to make it happen (one of the speakers backed out at the last second so Hna Coburn ended up having to give a talk, President and Hna Lovell showed up out of the blue, and we didn't have a musical number so the other sisters and I decided to sing "I like to look for rainbows" a couple hours before the baptism), but it was wonderful. She so wonderful, I can´t wait to see her testimony grow and strengthen. She has to wait until this coming Sunday to receive the Holy Ghost though so this week is probably gonna be difficult for her. :/

I love the other set of sisters here! After our ward activity on Saturday they came over for medio dia and we ate and then just sat and did hair and talked, it was so fun to have a little girl time!

We also have been able to teach a wonderful girl from China this week. She is a student here. It´s been super interesting to explain who God is and why we need Jesus Christ. It´s definitely helped my testimony develop and grow!

We´re teaching another student from Honduras. He is such a delight to talk to! Oh I really hoped he gets baptized! I could see him being like an Area 70 he is that good!

¡Me enchanta Alcalá!

There you have it! My life for the next year and a half! But in the winter we´ll be rising at 6:30 with all the normal missionaries and going to bed at 10:30.
