Hello Family,
Well Dawn and Joan were baptised. Everything went perfectly. Many members from the branch showed up and Elder Hanks did as well. The only reason Elder Hanks was able to come was because Brother and Sister Preston offered to take them. Brother Preston is the next Mission President for this mission, haha, so we had my future mission president at this baptism! Adam had to baptize Joan twice because she didn't go all the way under, but he took it like a champ and nailed the next two baptisms. It was one marvelous night.
Elder Hansen confirmed Joan and I confirmed Dawn and it was great. The spirit was very strong, one of the strongest of my missions. Later that day Dawn and Joan held a little buffet at Dawn's home because they didn't have refreshments after the baptism due to fast Sunday. A lot of people showed up and it was just great. I sat there and thought about the first time I went to teach Adam with Elder Hanks to that moment when practically half the branch was sitting in Adam's home with his family and newly baptised mother and grandmother. Fantastic stuff. (Adam's brother, Alex, says he wants to be baptised as well).
Other than that, just the same old stuff. The weather has been beautiful and we are still seeing success. We had a new investigator come to church named Ian, so hopefully that will go somewhere. We have transfers next week, so I wont be emailing until either Wednesday or Thursday of next week. I could be leaving as well, so it's an exciting time.
Life is good and the gospel is true.
Love y'all!
Elder Misbach
PS: I just moved my mouse up to the "attach a file" button when I realized that I forgot the cord that I need to transfer pictures. Sorry about that. They are some really good pictures- I'll be sure to send them next week.
