Delina's Baptism
Hey everybody! So on Saturday-Sunday was Delina's baptism and confirmation. It was such a blessing to see her be baptized. On Saturday we were kind of stressed out because 1. We had received two different answers on how long the baptismal font took to fill up. One said six hours and the other said four hours, so we decided to start filling it at 3:00 and hope it would be full enough by 7:00. 2. Since we have such a small branch we were afraid no one was going to show because they might be "too busy". Well when we got there at 6:30 the baptismal font was filled to the perfect amount and was the perfect temperature, so we were super happy about that. By 7:00 there were more people there than a regular Sunday meeting! We were so surprised and blown away and Delina felt so supported by the branch which I am so happy about. The baptism went so well and when she was lifted up out of the water from being baptized she looked so happy and the spirit was so strong! All the speakers did amazing jobs too and the spirit was just filling the room. The baptismal service went perfect! The next day on Sunday she was getting confirmed by yours truly and I'm not going to lie I was so dang nervous. When the time came I went up there and as soon as I put my hand on her head all my nerves went away and the spirit was just working through me. It was such a privilege to be able to confirm someone a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to be able to allow her to receive the Holy Ghost. The really cool thing was her mom who is Catholic was there and after I looked at her and she was crying and I know she was feeling the spirit. Also, it has been over a year since anyone has been baptized in this area, so that was really cool as well. Such a perfect weekend.
That was the highlight of my week and it was such a wonderful experience! I love this gospel and to be able to witness how it can bless peoples lives. I love you all and hope everyone has a great week!
