6 Months Out!

This week was amazing! Hectic with moving but our new place is sooooo so nice. The couple who rent out their back living quarters (or whatever) are really cool. She's too nice, she like, does our laundry for us! Because it's more convenient for them lol that's the only thing that makes me feel not so bad about it. And she's had sister living here for 7 years. We're the first English speaking ones. SHE HAS A DOG!!!!!!!!!!!! Sparky (: he loves us, and comes to chill all the time. 

So the baptism last week was great. The little boy, D., was 9 and he was baptized by his grandpa. We taught in the middle while he was changing a little bit, and mostly bore our testimony and talked about what a growth we've seen for their family as they all prepared for this for him. We would sit down together every few days and talk about the gospel and and they all grew closer and stronger and turned to the scriptures more and it was great. But.

BUT...

This last Saturday we had a baptism. Technically the Elders did. Do you remember about S. much?? The big blow up that happened a while back with the 15 year old that I love love loved? SOMEONE got really mad at us and didn't want us to come back over and the moment on since I've last seen her, all I've wanted was a big hug and to be her friend again, and especially to be friends with S. I love the kid. The elders came in and took care of him, but it was really devastating to me because I loved them so much. Especially S.,he had been my first progressing investigator I was able to begin with and who I felt a real connection with and love for. I haven't been to see them in weeks. And I saw him at church a couple times and last week he said I was welcome at his baptism. I was so excited just for him because I knew everything was working out in his favor even though my companion and I had messed up. He was really excited when I got there. And you know what?? t was seriously the best day of my mission. His ----- ran up to me and gave me the biggest tightest hug and told me how happy she was that I came! That I had played one of the biggest roles in all of this!! I had just thought she hated me and thought I almost ruined it all, but she said she misses me. It was everything I've been praying for since the last night I saw her. And the spirit of the baptism was so strong, I may or may not have cried the whole time. The elders teased me and said it was really distracting while they taught the restoration actually. I JUST COULDN'T CONTAIN MY JOY OK. S. shared his testimony and it was so powerful. I love this. I love being a missionary!!!! And then right after that I got to go do service for a nonmember by cleaning her house as she was moving out. the fun fun times for him!

And then, HECK YEAH RELIEF SOCIETY BROADCAST! Oh my cute! The little girls all singing teach me to walk in the light was fabulous. There was a lot of music and new things that were a strong testimony of the Savior. What really hit me most was how glad I was for the sisters I have in my life. My blood sisters and My family and the friends I have. My companion for sure. Some people I just couldn't have made it without. And then some random stranger gave us dinner because the broadcast ran through it and we had to run to a lesson (with the most amazing faithful investigators ever btw) and she just let us in because we're missionaries. So many people are so good to us for no reason!! You'd think id be used to it after 6 months! I forgot to celebrate, I'm too busy! Lol I'll do it for my 9 month, I'll like burn something or dye my hair.
