Baptism!!

Our friend Sylvia

Hi again!! This week has been a crazy one. As I'm sure you all know, the coronavirus outbreak has gotten a lot more serious. As missionaries we have been given a lot of restrictions on how we can do missionary work. It is going to be a challenge figuring out how to keep the work going and making the transition to finding and teaching through technology.

Besides that, my week has been fantastic! We worked all week to help our friend, Sylvia, prepare to be baptized. We weren't quite sure the baptism would happen, but we did all we could and she got the chance to be baptized and confirmed on Saturday morning! It was a very special baptism, and there were only 10 people there total. I know she felt the spirit and sylvia has expressed how happy being baptized has made her. She wanted to make that commitment to follow Christ and being baptized has done just that!

One other highlight was getting the opportunity to partake of the sacrament in a member's home. My companion and I got to join a sweet family and participate in their at home sacrament meeting. It helped me recognize the blessing that having a priesthood holder in a home can be and the special feelings that come from partaking of the sacrament and renewing our baptismal covenant. 

I love you all! I hope you are staying healthy. Keep reading the Book of Mormon and doing those things that will help you grow closer to our Heavenly Father, regardless of whether you can go to church or not!!
