You
know the saying "Time flies when you´re having fun"? That´s really
true. This week, my companion and I had so much fun and worked our
little bums off, and this week has literally flown by. I feel like I was
here just yesterday writing you on P day.
Yesterday we had a baptism of 2 kids. It was such a
crazy time. We ended up having to heat up giant pots of water because
the water in our baptismal font is ice cold. I don´t know how to explain
it, but all day it just seemed like everything was going against us, it
was so hard to get everything together. Satan really just didn´t want
these little angels to get baptized! Satan sucks. But, he didn´t win,
don´t worry. After hours of preparation and lots and lots of patience,
both of them got baptized. After the baptismal service, the grandma of
both of the kids said the closing prayer. In the middle of her prayer,
she started talk about her kids (almost all of them are inactive, and
ALL of them were present in the baptism), and she started to thank God
that all of them were able to come to the baptism. She started to cry,
and we could just feel the Spirit so strongly. When she finished the
prayer, all of her kids were crying too, and they all stood up and
started hugging each other. It was such a sweet moment, how this baptism
brought them together, and how the Spirit was so undeniably strong in
that moment.
It made me think about how important the family is. I
just wanted to tell you guys how much I love you and appreciate you.
The family is the greatest gift that God has given us. And you 3 are the
greatest gift that I have. Thanks for your support, your love, your
emails. I love it so much more than you know!
I am doing well, great things are happening here and I will have a lot more stories to share in the coming weeks.
I LOVE YOU! Have a great week!
All my love,
Hermana Michelle Scott
