HOLA TODO!!!!!
LAURA GOT BAPTIZED AND IS OFFICIALLY A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO. Best news ever haha. In the mission we call baptisms around Christmas time, a "White Christmas". The baptismal service went really well! Except we were having so many problems right before it started. The guy that was going to baptized her got stuck in traffic on the way home from vacation, and we don't really have a whole lot of priesthood holders, so we had to have one of the elders from an hour a way come baptize her. But everything turned out ok and the spirit was just straight fire. It's moments like these where you are so so so grateful to be a missionary. We get to be apart of changing people's lives. And I LOVE IT. On Wednesday, we had to go in and clean out the font because it hadn't been used in 18 months, and there was like dead cockroaches and stuff, but I have never been so happy to clean out a baptismal font in my life!
Also we had zone conference this week, and i didn't take pictures, but it was super good. I really feel like something our mission president is emphasizing right now is obedience and effectiveness. Not always the funnest topic, but it really does help a ton.
We also had exchanges this past week and that was so fun!!! I went with sister Burbidge and Hewitt. Sister Burbidge has been my sister training leader for SIX transfers, and so this was my last one with her. It was so sad and tender. Haha but I love that girl!
Something else we've done this week is share #LightTheWorld with literally everyone. We have even started texting our branch members daily and that's been going great! I mean there's only like 30 of them so it's not too hard haha. But really though, do the #LightTheWorld initiative and send in referrals. It makes missionary work so much easier :))
That's all for this week. I love y'all so much and love the support and emails. CTR.
con mucho amor,
