WEEK #45 - Baptism of Danyel!!

Another, (yes...) another week! Who would've guessed? How neat :)

Monday: May 25th
Good day today. Look forward to many things! We got to setup a bunch more plans for this upcoming week, it's going to be great. Also today our mission president told us we were allowed to finally have baptisms now, such a relief after 2 months! :)

Good day :)

Tuesday: May 26th
Had district council then worked alot on preparing our facebook training for the new missionaries we got, and for the whole mission on Thursday. Danyel, our favorite 12 year old, messaged us and told us he was ready to get baptized THIS Saturday! Hopefully we can work towards making that happen so quick :)

Social distance District!

Wednesday: May 27th
We had some more facebook meetings, then we had a lesson with Angela. She is SO excited for her baptism too!! Her baptism will be in June, and now both Danyel and Angela want me to baptize them. I love how this is their decision to follow the Savior though! I had nothing to do with their desire to follow Christ and accept His Gospel. They, and each of us, are presented with a choice and a chance to become better. Better in our faith, our family relations, our characteristics... who wouldn't take that opportunity? That invitation is extended to you by your Savior Jesus Christ. Follow Him :)

Awesome sunset!

Thursday: May 28th
Today me and Elder Samojla trained the mission on facebook again! :) We had a lesson with Danyel and walked through the last details got his baptism. He is SO ready! I can't wait to continue to help him on his journey.

Friday: May 29th
Today we got to be janitors. I know right?! So fun! :) I got to mop the baptismal font. It was a party let me tell you.... haha. I wish more goofs could've joined me, but Elder Samojla will suffice for now! We had a member lesson which went well and finished the night off.

We got to the church at 1pm for Danyels baptism. I asked him and he was pretty nervous but very excited. We could only have 9 people attend in person, and everyone had to wear masks, apply hand sanitizer regularly, and  stay 6 feet apart! Wow! Such a historical and insane experience. Even me and Danyel had to wear latex gloves when I baptized him. He had a really cool experience and we gave him the Holy Ghost and the Priesthood all right there. The Spirit was very tangible and present there! I love how God will always be there as we make and keep more promises with Him. He wants to bless us SO bad, all we must do is follow and become more like Him! I love this Gospel, I am and will never be ashamed to live it, to love it, and to never leave it. :)

 Danyels Baptism!!

Sunday: May 31st
Today was insane! We got to start teaching two new people, even committing one of them to be baptized on June 29th!! We talked with Angela today and then had a fun facebook live with some 'live' music, haha. I hope everyone enjoyed it!

This week was crazy, like all weeks, but I know in whom I should trust. If we follow even just  the wise words engraved on a quarter, 'In God We Trust' then we shall be led to choose right and live right <3

Love you all!
