Splash-down in Faribault!🏊
Hola hola. Hope you all had a splendid week!
This week we had interviews with the man, the myth, the
legend, President Barney! It's always a good experience. Afterward, we had to
get our oil changed for the car and it took FOREVER. We were late to our lesson
with Chase that night haha, but it was still super powerful! He's continuing to
get closer to baptism. But something really cool is, while we were in the
waiting room, I noticed an older couple that looked familiar. Turned out they
were some members I remembered from the Mankato ward! It was sweet to get to
catch up with them.
Friday was another odd day. Elder Nielson's eye has been
really bugging him the past few weeks so we finally scheduled a time to go to
the eye doctor. They checked out his eye balls and they got all dilated and
huge, so he had to wear sunglasses all day even though it was super cloudy all
day😂. Got a picture to show. But because of all
that it made the week a little slow. But some good news - we ended on a high
note!
The highlight of the week was definitely Derrick's
Baptism!! It was amazing and the peaceful spirit there was so strong! It was a
bit chaotic because we planned out everything for the program, and literally
the day before the baptism, our piano player cancelled and the primary
president said she couldn’t show up! So, we scrambled a bit to find people to
fill in, but luckily everything worked out ok. Kevin and the Post family also
came which was awesome! We ended up having the whole relief society room
packed.
As we were teaching Derrick’s family, we would always
teased him about when he gets older he'll have a name tag just like us that
says 'Elder Sando'. It was such a cool moment to see him smile from ear to ear
and take this important first step closer to Christ and covenant to serve Him😊
Even though he's just 11, he has such strong faith and gospel knowledge. He's an
amazing example, and I'm so grateful we got the chance to teach him!
It was another great week in the service of the Lord. I
know that He guides this work, and we are merely instruments in His hands! Love
you all (:
