Only been a few short days from my last email but hey it's been very eventful that's for sure!!     Saturday we had Josselyn baptism and it was so amazing!! She was super excited to be baptized and the spirit was strong and she had an amazing experience. We all had some nice refreshments too after since she wanted all of us to kinda have a get together after so that was fun! Then on Sunday I had the amazing opportunity to confirm her in sacrament meeting. It was kinda scary since it was I front of everyone but hey it went well.

First Exchanges

I hope you all enjoyed your week. This week literally flew by that's for sure so that was awesome!     So this week we went on exchanges for the first time that means we get to go with another companion for a day and kinda get to have a "break" from our other companion. Aha I'm just kidding exchanges bring someone else to there area and just we see lots of miricles for sure. We had people me and elder Kennedy had been trying to contact for the longest time finally open their doors and it truly was an amazing day!     We taught this one lady we have on date the word of wisdom and she committed to live it. We then felt prompted to go and visit her one night and we found out that she wasn't totally living it. We had just taught it but she really has had a tough time with it so she really wanted us to say a prayer. Even though she may have been intoxicated all her friends even came out and we said a prayer they still wanted to feel the spirit I guess and I think the s...

Thomas Baptism

What a busy and wonderful week we have had here in salt lake and I cant wait to share it with you all!!     First of all we had the Thomas Family baptism on Saturday and it was such a spiritual experience! They were all so happy and just really excited to be baptized. I had the amazing opportunity to baptize the littlest on in the picture Isreal and the mom in the back Ashley. It was such a nice baptism and the spirit was strong. The little one was a little nervous at first but once it was over he was good aha. Baptisms are just such an amazing thing and to be able to do it was such an honor. I've loved getting to know them and see them grow and I cant wait to see what the Lord has in store for them! We then confirmed them on Sunday and that was also a really good experience the spirt was strong and the whole ward could feel it.     Because of the baptism we had so much to get ready and prepared for them to make sure that they had a good day. We want it to be special...
