Hey everyone, well the hard work finally is paying off! We baptized 3 kids yesterday and they are super sweet. After they got baptized and the doors were shut, they jumped back in the font and started swimming! I was laughing pretty hard. And there are definitely more to come. I'm glad you all had a good Easter; mine was quite different. There at home it’s a peaceful calm time, here it’s all super sad and gloomy. All over the place they have reenactments of the crucifixion. They seem to forget that He resurrected!
But anyway. Tuesday we had zone conference, which was super good, and afterwards my comp got sick just like I was! So I had to stay inside all afternoon. Got some good study in! The more and more I study the more and more I realize how much I need. The Lord taught me a lot of lessons in humility this week. We were going to have a baptism on Friday, so we went Thursday for the interview and the sister told me that none of her family wanted her to get baptized. So we did the interview and I talked to the daughter (the main pain in the ---) and felt pretty good about myself like "yaw I handled the situation" so the next day we were there, the font full, members and other investigators waiting and the didn’t show up so I called and the sister said they weren’t coming because she wanted more time and the family acted up right after we left. Thus the picture of the broken cell phone….it happened after I hung up. I humbled myself; actually, the Lord humbled me. It has been a theme on my mind a lot lately. It’s not really a good theme to lecture on nor give a talk on. Its one of those things that has to be experienced between someone and the Lord, that’s the only way to know what it is. After a humbling day Saturday the Lord truly blessed us. One investigator showed up with her two little girls and her husband who we have never seen before, he had a super good experience in Elders quorum talking about Joseph Smith in Liberty jail and we haven’t even taught him the first lesson! I’ve had a few other tender mercies, including the baptism of the boys. I'm glad to hear you are all so well. I deal with so many people every day who don’t have the light of Christ in their lives and I want them to have what we all have, I hope we don’t overlook what we have. Ok well let me know if there is ever anything I can do for anyone! Ill do the best I can (which might be a letter cuz that the best I can;)) take care and love the Lord, D and C 82:3 has been the scripture of the week.
Love you all!
Elder Solomon
