Will Sis Smith and I still be together after this week's
transfer meeting? That remains to be seen! Sometimes I think we will stay
together for our last transfer and sometimes I feel like one of
us will move. So basically I have no idea. :D
I had one of the most tender experiences of my
mission yesterday afternoon. This weekend was our stake conference, and during
the Sunday morning session, we sustained Brother L (baptized in Feb) with a
group of other men to receive the Melchizedek Priesthood and be ordained to the
office of Elder. After the meeting, Sis Smith and I saw him and a couple other
men going in to a room to be ordained and quickly got permission from President
Day to go in and watch. As he sat in the chair and the brother ordaining him took
a moment to prepare spiritually, the Spirit filled the room so strongly. I
couldn't hold back tears during the entire blessing~ there was a power there in
the room. At one point I opened my eyes, and noticed that just behind him on
the wall was the painting of Jesus Christ ordaining His apostles. That made it
all the more significant to me that today we have that same priesthood power on
the earth in full force- and that now my recent convert was blessed to be a holder of it.
In the blessing, he was promised that if he continues faithful in the gospel,
his daughters will also join the church and they will be sealed as a family.
This was one of those moments that just makes it all worth it.

Our less active member's wife, W, set a baptismal date!
6/13. And we talked with her husband about being worthy to use the Aaronic
priesthood which he has to be able to baptize her on that date. I am so excited
for them. The two of them have been having family prayer and scripture study
every day and are loving it.
A is still great. She found out that in her
contract, it says that she should either be getting a day off or extra money,
neither of which she is getting. So, she is working on trying to get that
resolved, and maybe that will allow her to come to church. She is such a
sweetheart. Sis Smith and I were like, "is this what serving in South
America is like? having all your investigators be this incredible?"
hahahaha!
Well, that's about it. Love you!
