Baptismo!

Well, I had my first convert baptism this week! T is an absolutely golden member. He is going to be incredible! His baptism was fantastic! There were a lot of non-members there, as well as the mission president and his wife. The Spirit was really strong there!

We got to participate in a Fourth of July Parade yesterday with the rest of the missionaries in Colorado Springs. I had a blast being so patriotic.

I don't have too much time today, so I will list a few miracles that happened this week:

First, T's baptism.

Second, a street evangelist, JJ, who I met before, came to the baptism, AND to all three hours of church!

Third, after Sacrament Meeting, a lady approached us and said she wants to start being active in the church, and she has a 10-year-old who wants to be baptized!

I am studying my patriarchal blessing this week as part of My Plan, a program for missionaries to transition to post-mission life. I have learned so much this week by TRULY studying my patriarchal blessing. I've learned more about my purpose and what God wants from me. I invite you to earnestly study your patriarchal blessing. I know you can find more direction from it, and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Until next week, remember who you are and what you stand for.

T, the man, the myth, the legend.
