Mara and Rakel

Valentines Day was pretty fantastic. Everything worked out and went as smooth as butter. I am not going to lie, at the start of this transfer, I was a little hesitant and afraid that we were not going to be able to get everything taught. But sure enough, we went through all the lessons and they passed their baptismal interview!

The service was fantastic as well. It went way better than I thought it would. Mara is deathly afraid of water, so the whole baptismal font thing was a little bit of a stumbling block. But we got someone she really trusted to do the baptism, and she didn't have a problem at all.

Now the cool part: Afterwords, there was a little luncheon. Mara walks up to me and introduces me to a 10 year old by named Victor Grill. He saw the baptism and asked me when he could be baptized! We are meeting with him this week and are going to set a date for (at the latest) the second week in March.

Awesome, right? The members here are on fire!
