The weather has been crazy here, it can't make up its mind,
some days warm and sunny, other days, cold and snowing. This last week was a
quick blur. Lots of good things happened. We had a lot of really good lessons,
spread out at random times, and lots of 1 hour blocks where we would just go
and try to find more people to teach. It felt really good to just be focused so
much on finding. Not too much success with that yet, but surely it will
come.
Saturday was crazy. We started off quick with helping at a
stake activity with some non members, then setting up for the baptism. We had
to get clothing for the baptism, have a lesson, and then fill the baptismal
font. Then, Ice got baptized! It was an incredible experience, he was so
prepared and so happy. Afterwards, we had to reset everything for another
baptism, which included getting towels from a different location. Dinner
eventually happened, but by then the evening was over, so we just quickly invited
as many people to church as we could. It was a fun day.
Sunday we had a powerful sacrament meeting. All of the
speakers cancelled that morning, so the Bishop pulled new speakers together
quickly. Here is how it went: First, Ice was confirmed a member and given the
Gift of the Holy Ghost. Then we had the sacrament. Then, a girl who had served
in Elder Saltzman's home ward and had taught his mom and sister shared that
experience with the ward. A returned missionary spoke, then a semi recent
convert who had his parents in town to get sealed to them Tuesday, and his
parents, who are 1 year members, spoke. And then my companion Elder Saltzman
shared his testimony of missionary work, and how grateful he is for the gospel.
It was all very powerful.
We are excited for all the good this week will bring!
I love you all so much!
Elder Adams
