We had a pretty good week this week! Finishing it off with a baptism made it even better. Sara was baptized! We are so happy for her and grateful that we got to be a part of her conversion. Her boyfriend from Texas was supposed to come to baptize her, but he couldn't make it, So I got to fill in! That was super cool to be able to do that! I also ended up giving a talk on the Holy Ghost because the person who was supposed to give the talk got sick that morning. I was happy to do it though. She will now be able to enter into the Celestial Kingdom! We are so happy about that!
We had a really funny story from earlier this week. We went with Sara to the Library and one of the Family History Consultants in the branch to get Sara started in genealogy. We were at the front desk getting guest passes when we noticed this man asleep on the couch. We didn't really think anything of it until one of the librarians went up to him to see if he was okay. She wasn't able to wake him up though. Another man walked up and tried but still with no results. Finally, he took his pulse and there was none. Somehow, I got roped into "helping" (Elder Davis did most of the work) him down to the floor so someone could do CPR. The lady who was there who said she knew CPR couldn't do it because of her injured wrist, so I got as far away as I could so I wouldn't get "volunteered" to do chest compressions on this man. Paramedics then showed up, did what they could and then took him away in a body bag. Needless to say, I was weirded out by this. I felt weird for a while after that. The funniest thing about this though was this guy died at the library right when we went to go do Genealogy with Sara. I found that rather ironic. Elder Davis later was telling President Welch about the experience and he thought that our investigator died while we were at the library. We were happy to tell him otherwise and then she got baptized this weekend!
Anyway, things are going well! I love it out here! Thank you for all that you are doing for me and for the world. I love you all!
