This last week was awesome! Sorry I didn’t email yesterday! We went to the Henry Ford Museum (which was AWESOME!!!!) and didn’t get back till 6 and then we had appointments!
But this week was awesome, we met a lot of sweet people and saw a couple sweet miracles! Like yesterday morning for example, we went bowling in the morning and were headed back to the apartment and we missed our transfer bus and ended up having to walk a few miles, BUT! about a quarter mile later we were walking and smelled smoke and went down an alley and an abandoned building was ablaze! Haha, crazy! So I called 911 and about 7 minutes later we saw the fire truck speeding by. So - if we would have caught the bus, who knows who would have reported it, or if at all!
The museum yesterday was sweeeeeeeeet! I could probably spend WEEKS in there! But I only had 4 hours :( but I got lot of sweet pictures and I saw some amazing pieces of history, like the 1st production Mustang ever built, the FIRST CAR MADE, Lincoln’s assassination chair. Just like some sweet amazing things!
But this last Sunday was the cherry to top off the week! I was privileged to baptize an investigator that I found and taught! The baptism was awesome. Elec was just beaming ear to ear at church. She was super excited! The baptismal program was alright, it was a typical Palmer Park baptism, unorganized and thrown together but Elec didn't care and she was just happy to be there. We got in the water and she was nervous, but it went away quick, she was shaking when I took her arm but I noticed as soon as the words started coming out of my mouth she was as calm as the ocean after a storm! (Cheesy, I know, but waaay true!) It was crazy! The Spirit was amazing, and works in crazy ways! I hadn't practiced the words to say, but as soon as I said her name the words just came out. Once she came out of the water she was just glowing, I've never seen her smile so big! And now when we txt her, her signature says "*SAVED WOMAN*" Haha - it made me laugh the first time I saw it. We are having a lesson with her today and it's gonna be about eternal marriage and the importance of it, and then we'll start the new member lessons. It was sweet! There should be a picture attached here of us! {Mom's note: it's the photo I posted yesterday.}
This next week should be killer too. I’ve set a goal for myself to put someone on baptismal date that we haven’t ever met yet! Should be interesting!
Hope you all have a good week! Stay blessed!
