Howdy!
This week flew by as we were getting everything ready for the baptism on Saturday! It was such a great experience and I was grateful to be a part of it! They asked me to say the opening prayer and be one of the witnesses, and Elder Brooks gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. After the baptism, they gave Elder Brooks and I each a footlong sandwich from Subway, but Elder Brooks can't eat gluten, so I just ate both of them after we got home because I didn't eat breakfast in the rush to get to church and fill the font... which ran out of hot water. We took some big pots and boiled some to make it warm.
On Friday we were going to show Trisha around the church and get her baptismal clothes, but it turns out this ward doesn't keep their baptismal clothes at the church - they have someone in the stake keep them at their house. Well - neither of us knew this. We found out and called him, but he said he was in Idaho on vacation. He said he needed to take away our Eagle Scout Awards because we weren't prepared. He told us his garage code and how to walk through his house to find the clothes. It was really weird, but we got them!
Another noteworthy event from this week is the zone leaders telling us we were having an impromptu tornado warning drill and to go to the safest part of our appt and send them a picture. It turns out it was an April fool's prank. Also, an Arabic-speaking guy randomly walked into our district council and asked us to teach him English, so the Mason Elders left and taught him.
It was a great week that flew by! Conference and Easter were so amazing and I'm so excited to study the talks and messages more deeply! I am so grateful that the Savior is risen!
Have a great week! Keep striving!
