We had a great week this week, we had two baptisms this past week! One for Mercedes which was at 6:30 and that went very well. Her grandma gave the talk on baptism then the young women in the White Oak Ward did a special musical number which was awesome. Then came time for the actual baptism. So her grandfather, or something like that, was going to do the baptism and he is 92 years old. They called during the week to let us know that he would need help so I volunteered. So it was me, Mercedes, and the grandfather in the font and I help him into the font and helped with the actual ordinance. We had to do it 4 times (not having his arm to the square the whole time) but we got her under. It was a unique experience. Then after she was baptized a young women gave the talk on the Holy Ghost and then some of her cousins did another special musical number. The whole thing went well. Then Phi's baptism was right after and her boyfriend who is a RM gave the talk on baptism and he did a AMAZING job, probably the best talk on baptism I have ever heard. Then Elder Kelly baptized Phi and it was kinda funny because Phi has a looooooooooooooooooooong name! So Elder Kelly had Phi say her full name piece by piece and he would repeat after her. After she was baptized, a member from the singles ward did a special musical number. Then Elder Fisher gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. The service was awesome. So a really awesome week.
I also went on exchanges this past week with my district leader and it went well. We did a church tour with one of their investigators.
Now that we baptized three of our investigators, it's time to go get some more because one our investigators dropped us this past week as well.
So that's what's going on. Elder Kelly and I are moving apartments this Wednesday so that will be interesting. I love y'all! -Cory
