Seth Was Baptized!

Hello everyone!! Wow. What a week! Let me tell you about it :]
 
1. My companion started to get chest pains Monday night, Tuesday night we went to urgent Care... they didn't take our insurance. She talked to a doctor on the phone and he said just go in tomorrow. Wednesday we went to the doctor he told her it was probably from stress. Friday she went to Physical Therapy... I sat in the waiting room for an hour and a half. LAME! But whatever we got to do, we got to do :]

2. The week was pretty slow until Saturday when... Seth was interview by our mission president to see if he was ready for baptism. By the subject of the email you can see he passed! BUT it wasn't till an hour after he went in that he came out! We came out and president said, "He is very prepared. Well done sisters." Oh my! Seth is getting baptized! What a blessing for him! He was nervous for his interview but he did great!

3. Sunday... BUSY! Sister Eggleston and I both gave talks in sacrament meeting. It was really good! I think the members were really listening to what we had to share about missionary work. Hopefully the wards just listens now.

4. Right after church we went to the stake center to fill up the font... LONG TIME! But it was great to get to reflect on Seth and how much he has learned.

5. The baptism! A little stressful but what an experience! Seth was a little nervous but at the same time you could see it how happy he was. While we was changing after his actual baptism, we got to share our testimony. I got to share how happy I was of Seth and the progress he has made. I will never forget him saying, "Calling for that free Book of Mormon was the best thing I ever did." He has made so much progress in remembering the things we have taught about and the fact that he has read up to Alma so far in the Book of Mormon. He has a strong testimony of the gospel and the teachings. He will be the first one to share it with you. He tells his family and friends all the time how they should listen to the missionaries. Even after his baptism he was going up to people sharing how happy he was! What a day for him. His whole countenance has changed. Its amazing! It will still be great next week when he receives the Holy Ghost!



 6. As for my studies, my favorite scripture this week. Doctrine and Covenants 30:11. He will always be with us. We cant fear. I have been reading D&C and I love it!
 
LOVE YOU ALL!!
