BAPTISM!!!
Letter from Oct 30
So Martin got baptized!! There were two baptisms in the ward on Saturday, Jesusa and Martin. one for the ward and one for the Spanish Group. It was crazy how many little miracles happened to lead up to one huge miracle.
We showed up for the one at 4 for Jesusa and realized that there was no underwear for Martin to wear for his at 5. Elder Anderson and I started freaking out at this point because we knew that Satan would do all that he could to stop this baptism or make things go wrong, but we weren't gonna let him win and we knew that God would do everything he could to help us make this baptism happen. We talked to the Ward Mission Leader and he said he had the underwear at his house. We had to borrow the Zone Leaders car because the other Elders we live with had our car somewhere else. We drove the the ward mission leaders house which was about 15-20 minutes away and we got there and someone walked out of his house with the underwear in a bag ready to give it to us. We then zoomed back to the church, got yelled at by Tiwi a couple of times, and made it back in time for Martin's baptism.
The baptism was really great. Martin was baptized by his friend Frank, who had just been ordained a Priest about 2 weeks ago. They were both really nervous and Martin had to be dunked a few times. But it was really great when everything worked out and Martin came out of the water with a huge smile on his face.
We saw the hand of the lord so much in this situation and in many more through the week.
The work here in Grandview is going super strong. We have found quite a bit of people who are all really cool to teach. The Spanish group should hopefully grow into a Branch in the next year if we keep up the work.
and again... I absolutely LOVE being a Missionary :)
