Baptism!!

Wow what a great week! This week Andrea was able to be baptized!! It was so cool to be able to help her change her life. She truly is an amazing person and is going to be a great member of the church. 

This week was transfers, my comp and I stayed in Rìo Salì but he was made district leader! It will be cool to be able to work with him and to go on splits with the other missionaries in the district. This week I went on splits with the previous district leader, Elder Àvila. He is from Buenos Aires and is such a great missionary. I learned a lot from him especially about being persistent. We contacted a house and the lady wanted nothing to do with us. She was trying to shut the door but he just kept talking. It was actually pretty funny to watch. She reluctantly finally let us in and we found a family of 4 who are interested! Who knows if anything will happen with them but, it really showed me that being persistent can pay off! 

I also got to give my first blessing in spanish! Super crazy and I have absolutely no idea what I said hahah. I didn't even think I knew how to begin a blessing in spanish but as soon as I started I knew what to say. It was a blessing of comfort to an investigator and the spirit was able to help me, help her. Such a cool experience! I love the mission because we always have opportunities to help others.

Hahaha it's been quite the experience but good thing I am here with one of my best buds Elder Watson from St George! The quarantine has been one of the most challenging parts of my mission for sure, but not all has been bad. We have had lots of time to study and reflect back on what the mission is and how it has truly changed us. Last Sunday was quite the rollercoaster of emotions as they told us we would be returning home and I would be released from my missionary service. Kinda hard to describe the sadness and confusion that we went through. Not going to lie, didn't get much sleep that night but one thing that was constantly in my head was that I had done my best. These past 20 months have been some of the most difficult and rewarding times of my li...
