Thumbs Up For Kevin's Baptism W21

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having such a good Christmas season! Each of you mean so much to me and I am so grateful for the support and love I always feel from y'all. 

Kevin got baptized this week!!! My heart is soooo full. I got to sit by my President and his wife during the baptism and see all my friends there and it was just amazing. Right when he was walking into the font, I felt the spirit so strong and so much joy. I've only felt the spirit that strong a couple of other times. Kevin came right up to me after his baptism and said, "I feel changed and so warm inside." Because I've been with him since day one his baptism meant so much to me. He has had to sacrifice a lot to get to his baptism. 

I also got to see Michael at Kevin's baptism who is my other good friend! He's excited to get baptized in the next few weeks! He really opened up to me and told me lots of stories like when he got shot 3 times!! He is usually quiet, so it was fun to see him all talkative! 

The returning member that I always talk about named Nathaniel got his patriarchal blessing yesterday and fasted all day for it! He ran up to us at church and told us about a referral he had for us! He met this lady at Walmart and told her he has the BEST missionaries and wants her to meet us haha! 

Other than that, this week was just meeting after meeting after meeting. On Wednesday we had 8 hours of meetings, it's a pretty intense life doing all these trainings but it's fun to interact with so many missionaries. We have some incredible missionaries out here!
