Loretta was baptized! Here
is just a little more background on Loretta. She was referred to
us by a 92-year-old member (who still drives), Sister Moses. She is
from Jamaica and has the simplest most amazing testimony of the
gospel. Every time we ask how she feels about it all she says is,
"I'm going somewhere. I can feel it. God wants me to get baptized."
The service was amazing. She was baptized three times. After she was
worried that she had done it wrong because they had to do it so many times.
Her experience was so amazing that after all she could say was "I
feel so light!” The service really took
off from there. With someone singing a solo......Humm...... Yes, somehow
my companion decided to put me down to sing a solo. I was somehow able to sing “How
Great thou Art.” My companion had to give a talk after 3 people canceled on her
(mostly because of sickness). The Bishop and Relief Society President
spoke and we were lucky enough to have our wonderful mission president speak.
It was incredible the way he spoke to her and he told us that he could
feel the most amazing spirit just radiating from her. Everything
was great.
Later on President Jeppsen
pulled my companion aside and told her that she was
being transferred to become the next Sister Training Leader.
I'm going to miss her so much, but this is an
amazing opportunity for her. So I'm getting another trainer soon and
I hope next week I will get the pictures of my (now old) companion up and
going. It’s been a fun six weeks to spend with her and now she is off to new
adventures.
P.S. Sorry such a short letter but a lot has gone on this
week. But I’ll write a long one next week.
