Ciao!
This saturday Barbara got baptized!!! I have been so happy
this entire week it's just been amazing. Everything just seemed to work out
perfectly this weekend and it was so great. There were so many members,
missionaries and even investigators from other missionary companionships that
came and brought refreshments as well it all played out so wonderfully. The
coolest thing though was that Barbara's husband, who is atheist, ended up
leaving his vacation in the mountains (he paraglides which is SO cool) and
showed up to her baptism right in time before it started! So he was there
holding her hand all the way through it. It couldn't have been any more
perfect. she also brought her 8 year-old son alessandro, who is very funny and
VERY energetic, to the baptism so they were all there as a family. Barbara also
bore a very beautiful testimony after the baptism which really touched my
heart. She is going to be such a strong member and i really look forward to
seeing the progress and change in her now that she has the Holy Ghost as a
helpful companion :)
We plan on getting alessandro to be baptized soon as well,
Barbara would just like that he has a little more of a base knowledge of our
church's doctrine before he gets baptized. He really wants to though and loves
coming to church to learn and mostly play with his new friends that he made
here in the ward ha.
Well there isn't a WHOLE lot else going on other than
Barbara's baptism. We are working with a couple people right now who are making
progress but at a very slow pace. I love them to death though, especially one
man named Lorenzo who is the sweetest guy EVER.
Ok well that is pretty much it for this week. Most of it was
just getting things ready for the baptism and making sure everything went
smoothly which really paid off! Thanks for the emails guys and the photos as
well, love you and hope to hear from you soon! Ciao!
