Baptism.Say.What

BAPTISM!! (said in a low gangster voice)

So. Saturday. BEST. BAPTISM. EVER.

Okay, every baptism is great, because it's another child 

being brought into our Father's kingdowm..but for reals. 

BEST. BAPTISM. EVER.

Emma was so excited! 

It was so cute, the night before, we took their jumpsuits 

over, so they could try them on.  Emma tried hers on, 

and stayed in it the whole lesson! It was so cute. 

On saturday, the big day was here! She came beep boppin 

into the church, smiling from ear to ear. We got her changed 

and ready. The whole service was amazing.  Emma had asked 

her mom, Leslie, to speak on Baptism. Leslie is a Former 

Investigator. When Emma asked her if she'd speak, 

she said "Well..that's ironic.." it was hilarious!

Leslie's talk was definitely one of the best talks I've ever heard 

at a baptism. Oh my goodness. People came up to us saying 

"So, uh..when is Leslie's baptism?" People even actually said 

that TO her! Good thing she's a super chill person who has a 

good sense of humor..ha (:

Ernie, her dad, did a musical number. He played his guitar,

and sang a song called 'Service', that he learned while he was 

Catholic way back in the day. 

Then Sister Westbrook spoke on the Holy Ghost. She did 

awesome! (:

The Bishop welcomed her to the ward. And Sister Brady, the 

Primary President welcomed her to Primary. Then, I said the 

closing prayer, and it was done. 

She was confirmed in Sacrament Meeting the next day. Ernie 

was able to confirm her! 

This family is a miracle. 

Ernie, who is a convert himself, and a returning Less Active. 

And Leslie, who is a Former Investigator. 

And then Emma, the newest member!!

They are amazing. 

Transferrs are this Wednesday!

And Sister Westbrook will be getting transferred to Shenandoah 

Valley, which is still in the Zone, so I'll be seeing her quite a bit. 

 I will be staying here in C-Town, serving with Sister Jones. No 

clue who she is..but I guess I'll find out ;)

This week has been amazing. Crazy. But good. (:

So, we actually ended up not going to Baltimore Aquarium today. 

Which is totally okay, we have too much to do! Instead we just 

played some dodgeball at the church, it was super fun!  Haven't 

played dodgeball since I was in High School. (:

THAT'S AWESOME THAT WY GOT A TRY in Rugby!! What a stud. 

I love you all, so much!
