Well unfortunately because of crazy computer stuff, I don't have a lot of time this week. But I want to write and say Happy Birthday to all the mom's out there!
Also, we had a baptism this week! Brother Joel Demandar, the husband of Sis. Jeannette (my favorite recent convert). With his baptism their family is now complete! I have taught and baptized his wife, his daughter and now him! It was such a great feeling to watch prepare for this. And he was so prepared. The days leading up to his baptism he just kept telling us over and over again how excited he was to get baptized. As we taught him we really emphasized his responsibility as a father and about uniting his family eternally in the temple. He wanted that so badly from the very beginning, that is really what motivated him I think. On Sunday he was confirmed. It was one of the greatest experiences of my mission to be there at his baptism and confirmation. The Demandar family is my first complete family and is was just amazing.
We also were able to find some new investigators this week, one of them is the husband of one our Less-Actives who finally let us teach him. He's a bit of a joker, but he's heard about the church for years from his wife (she is almost active again) so he knows a lot. But he listened and the experience was great.
Well, I know it's super short this week, but there's not too much else to share and I don't have a lot of time this week. I love you all, I miss you all a ton and hope that everyone had a great Mother's Day!
Love you!
