This isn't the best picture... but there was a lot of craziness going on. I didn't even get a picture with Bxxxx0..... aaaahhh.
So these are all the missionaries that have
taught Bxxxxo that got baptized yesterday. He lives in Manteca
We showed up an hour
before the baptism to set up the church, decorate, and organize. Wipe
all the fingerprints off the font glass, you know important stuff. When
we arrived we quickly realized that the font coordinator hadn't come and the font was empty. Usually it takes over an hour, close to two hours
to fill... I was a little panicked. We didn't have keys to the font
either. I was hurdling the glass of the font to get it going but Hermana
Cavazos wouldnt let me. The Elders rushed over and they hurdled the glass
to start the water going. At this point we had 40 minutes until it
started. :( So Hermana Gomez had the idea to find buckets and start filling the
font by hand in addition to the water running. So for 40 minutes all of
us missionaries were running back and forth from the kitchen to the baptismal
font trying to fill it...
But it gets better. President Jardine
and his wife showed up!! Seriously they thought it was hilarious,
but we were able to bring it back together and I just felt so much peace and I
know that Bxxxxxo loved it. He has been taught for 2 years and some hard
circumstances have led him to the church. He is amazing and I feel like I
am supposed to be here a little bit for him. Reason? He is exactly like Grandpa Taylor.
They have the same mannerisms. Don't know if that's true but I like to
think it. Regardless we are going to be good friends. He said when
I ever visit again with my family make sure to tell him so they can prepare
some food for us. They are awesome and you are all going to meet him and
his wife!!!
Memorable night regardless haha.
Had to take a picture of all the trees because it is AMAZING!!!
Picture these trees for EVER. It is soooo pretty :)
Some fun things is
that I was able to talk to another missionary who is serving in North Sac right
now. She said that Bxxxa is doing amazing. She said that Bxxxa is a
visiting teacher now, and that she has been going to visit her person once a
week. She didn't know that she only had to do it once a month so she has
been going as often as she could :) :) She is so awesome!!!!!
I love her. I
guess her and her family are getting their patriarchal blessings and are
excited!!
This is a picture of
Elders Yi,
Rindlisbacher, Campbell, us, Stone, Peterson, Weber
I think this picture is hilarious. CANDID. HA HA
I was able to go an exchanges to LODI again this week. I love Lodi a lot.
I went with Hermana Moffett and she is inspirational. It made me miss Hermana Skidmore. But it was just a really happy day. We ate a new chocolate bar I have never tried aaaaannnnnnnddddddd she gave me MY HOODIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am now the official owner of this Mexican made hoodie. It is like the one dad has. I basically cried I was so excited and I have been wearing it all week. Its been fun!
