Baptism? I hardly know him!

 เฮลโล Hello!

So this was a crazy week. I need to introduce you to someone. Now, this may come as a surprise... but I had a baptism this week! His name is Mino!

NEW KID

The Zone Leaders have been teaching someone for a while. He is YSA, but a universal rule about missionaries is that they are stingy about referring their friends that they're teaching that are YSA age. But this week they finally handed him off to us. He's awesome! The gospel has really changed his life for the better and he told us that being baptized is his decision on his own and he loves the improvements that come as he grows closer to Christ. So, on Saturday, he was baptized! The service was awesome. It was the first time I've confirmed someone a member of the church before. A little nerve wracking, but it was fine haha. I'm just so happy for Mino, he's an awesome guy.

THE TEACHER IS TEACHING

Last week, we spent all of our time finding potentially interested people. This week, we reaped the reward of all those seeds that we planted. We had so many places to visit, we spent basically the whole week going from spot to spot to teach lessons to everyone we found last week. It was awesome! We got to teach a lot of people from a lot of different backgrounds. We got one of our friends on date to be baptized on February 27 (hopefully that works out, right, Alli?), we taught an agnostic guy who had every single "religion bad" stone ready to throw at us, and just a bunch of other people that I'm having a hard time remembering haha. We probably would've gotten more if we didn't start to feel under the weather a bit towards the end of the week. We're getting better, don't you worry.

TRANSFER UPDATE

Since it's been 6 weeks, another round of transfers are here. I'm staying in Alki YSA with Elder Knapp! It's game over, we're gonna be baptizing nations. And we have some more good news. We're moving into an actual apartment! As exciting as the hotel life is... I'm ready to have an apartment again, so it's a good change.

LAST THINGS LAST

- The two people I've baptized are named Mina and Mino.

- I can still fit all of my stuff in one suitcase, but it's tight.

- I know there have been some rumors going around, but let me set the record straight: I DO love you.
