Baptism Week, and--oh! --Transfers

 

What a week it has been!! First and foremost, Charlotte was baptized!! It was pure insanity trying to make that happen, but we did it!! We got a call the night before saying that due to new COVID restrictions, we are not allowed to have baptisms in the church. So Sister Lee and I called our leaders, Charlotte, and the members involved, and told them all we needed to change the venue. MIRACLE: A Sister in the ward offered her pool and let us have the baptism there...(well, we basically begged her, but she said 'yes' right away!). There was some other craziness that happened, one being that Charlotte stepped right into the deep end and almost drowned, but the man baptizing her caught her, so all is well! BUT she had an amazing experience. I love her so much and am in awe of her resilience and her faith!

We are still teaching Sergio. We had awesome lessons with Melissa and Tomas this Sunday, and started teaching a new friend over FB! The area is doing so well! 

Okay, so what you've all been waiting for: transfer calls. We got a leadership call on Saturday night, and Sister Lee is training!!! I'm so proud of her. THEN we got another call saying I am training too! What?! Crazy! THEEEENNNNN we got a third call saying that I'm going to be a Sister Training leader next transfer! I'm terrified but excited. 

President Carter asked me to pray for confirmation that both my call to be a Sister Training leader and trainer were from God! I did and I feel humbled that Heavenly Father would trust me this much. I know he has a plan for my mission. 

Also, I'm staying here in Fillmore!!! YAY!!
