Week Sixty-Seven:  Albert's Baptism! [November 5, 2018]

Hi Everyone! 

This week has been pretty incredible! Tuesday was the big day for Albert! We met with him beforehand and he mainly just wanted to read the scriptures. He wanted to know what the first mention of baptism is in the Bible. The earliest we were able to find was the one in Matthew where the Savior is baptized. If anyone knows anywhere it might have been before that let me know! After that it was all prep work to get ready for his baptism!  The sisters who had taught him previously were able to come up and see it as well! It was a really good service and we're both really happy for him! After he was baptized he said that he felt good! In addition to that some people we are working with were able to come to the baptism as well! Yesterday he was able to be confirmed a member of the church and we were privileged to be in the circle as that happened. 

Halloween wasn't super eventful. We were able to see Katryna after a long while and hear how she's been (she was really sick for a while). We also met with some members in the evening. After that we went in early. 

We did some good service this week. One was feeding the homeless and the other was helping Albert with his yard (weed eating and such). Our ward mission leader was there with his tractor and was able to do quite a bit with it. 

Our p-day is short today since we will be going to the temple this week. Thanks for everything! 

Until next week,
