ok well Maggies baptism went amazing. she is so awesome. she did her best to tell everyone to come to her baptism. she asked her mother and her mother is totally against the baptism. she told her if she gets baptised she will never speak to her again. she got baptised anyway because she knows its true. it was so cool being able to baptize someone. it felt really good. it felt like the most success ive had yet. ive never seen anybody so happy, she was glowing. the ward did better than i thought they would on welcoming her into the ward. this is really a person that had changed her heart, and is putting her whole heart into it. on sunday she recieved the holy ghost and was crying. the spirit was strong. then after that people were bearing there testimonies. and i was sitting next to Maggie and Yulie the other girl we baptized a month ago. maggie told me the night before that she felt like she had to bare her testimony. but when we were sitting down she was so nervous she was shaking. she kept saying next month next month. but she got up the guts anyway and same with yulie. they both went up together. that was one of my favorite moments of my mission so far. hearing them both bare testimony for the first time. maggie started to cry and she said how greatfull she is. and also that she hopes her mom will one day accept the gospel and be sittting next to her in the church. oh man i was on cloud nine.
well tonight is the first family home evening and im in charge of it, i invited everybody i could. maggie is coming its going to be fun. we set 2 more baptismal dates its nothing compared to taryns 12. i felt like a little girl after i heard that. these people out here dont want to listen. its hard, but we fasted this week that the peoples hearts will be softened.
so. mom things that are wearing out. uuuhhhmm every sock i own has at least 2 holes in them. i cant believe you saw jann. crazy i hope she is doing good. tell nathalie hi for me thats cool she has been hangin out with the family. tell her she needs to write me.
