President Nelson and Elder Holland's Fireside, 2 friends baptized & transfers!

April 16, 2018

Hello all,

It is crazy how the time is finally starting to fly bye!!! I sort of love it! OK so let’s get down to business!!! I am going............to...............STAY HERE!!! With.......... ELDER VALIATI!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! I was stressing all week thinking that I was going to be leaving but thankfully I get to stay another transfer with Elder Valiati!!! It is such a blessing. We are doing some amazing things and I finally think I am getting the hang of things. This transfer is 7 weeks so it will be good!

Alright well the highlight of the week was first that we baptized our friend Bento! He is so awesome and was pretty “Golden” and speaks really good English!! And so to be honest I think we taught him everything and he was found and baptized in 15 days! Just a super humble guy that was so willing to  come unto Christ! He loved the Plan of Salvation because he has had lots of members of his family pass away! So he is very excited to see them again!!

But the best part is that we had another baptism!!! One of our friends Karissa . She speaks good English! She has been on date for a while now, but at the end of the week she said she wanted to be baptized this week!!! She asked me to baptize her oh and the water was hot!!!! It was just such a blessing! They both really have been changed! I feel very blessed to have been able to teach them and be a part of their conversion story!!

It was also an amazing week because we got to hear from the best people ever! The Prophet, President Nelson and Elder Holland! Oh my  it was so cool!!! President Nelson might become my favorite!! What they talked about was revelation, and it was pretty cool! Basically I feel and see that the world is getting worse and worse, and the only way for us to get through all of it is by having the revelation! Having the Spirit teach us and help us in this life!! So my challenge for you guys is to start right now to pray to God and grow your relationship with Him!!! So do that K!!!

I love you so much!!!!!
