Hello everyone! How are you doing!? I hope life back home is treating you all well, and that you are all healthy and happy! Happy Halloween everyone!!!
Well this week we had our baptism!! We baptized a 17 year old kid named Lucas Peñaloza! This one has been a long time coming, and it finally happened! The baptism was quite the story hahah, I don't have a whole lot of time to write this so I'll try to sum it up really fast.
First of all it was super super windy, it was so windy that the consecrated oil I have hooked to my pants flew off and I lost it. We got to the church to set up the font, which I am so excited to show yall what the font was haha you'll see in the pictures. But we got everything set up and went home to eat lunch, and come back to the church. We then got a text from the seminary teacher in the ward, who said that Lucas told her he wanted to post pone his baptism which would've been the third time. So I bet yall could guess that scared us a little bit, but we still went through with all of it.
Lucas came to the church on time and there was another one of the youth that was there, but nobody else came. No members, no family, nothing. I was praying really hard for the wind to calm down, for the baptism to go through, and for people to come but it didn't happen. I found myself yelling at God and wondering why He wouldn't help, but I have come to know when you get in those moments, that is when He has miracles. The people came!!! Lucas had family, we had members, and we had a guy that I was texting on Facebook!
The baptism went so well! All of the people stayed for church and for Sunday school right after which was great, so we have lessons coming up with these people. In fact we have one tonight with the Facebook guy, who is really interested in being baptized!
This week also was REALLY hot outside! So hot that nobody wanted to talk really, and the people that did told us to go home because it was dangerous to be out there in the sun. So that was pretty funny hearing all that!
Well I had more to say but I dont have the time! I love yall and hope you have a wonderful week!
Love, Elder Weese
