She had chosen me to baptize, and of course its been
awhile since Ive performed a baptism and last time it was children so they were
very short. Well yeah, I almost broke a commandment while baptizing
her..."Thou shalt not kill". The tub we use is small and I had
forgotten to move up all the way. So when I went to immerse her, her head was
going straight for the edge, so I stopped and tried to, ya know, scoot her
forward or something but that didn't work so I don't exactly know what I did but
I got her immersed and it was still great haha!
Afterwards she bore a very powerful testimony to the
branch so that was so awesome to hear! But I almost didn't hear it! I was
changing in the office and had locked the door and when I went to unlock it,
the key would turn but not unlock! I was locked in the office haha! I started
knocking because I heard some kids outside but nobody was coming...and I didn't
want to make much a commotion because 1. there was a baptismal service taking
place and 2. I looked like a fool locking myself in! But eventually Khama, a
branch member, finally came to the rescue and I gave him the key under the door
and he unlocked it from the other side just in time for me to hear Rosalias
testimony. haha!
So yeah that was the highlight of this week! We also had
interviews with President Erickson on Wednesday which was great as well. Not
sure if there was some hints that I'd be transferred soon or if I'm just jumping
to conclusions ahah!
Thanks for all the support!
I love being a missionary!
