We had another wedding and two baptisms this week. The wedding took
place right before the baptism and then the woman needed to be
interviewed before she got baptized. It was the most chaotic baptism I
have ever attended. There were over 200 people there and probably 50
more who were playing volleyball and basket-ball outside. Everything
started late and there were the usual little glitches of people
forgetting this and such, but we pulled it all off. We even had the
rings, made a wedding cake, and she had a white dress to wear. Amongst
the confusion we didn't really have time for many pictures. I did get
the groom to stand still for long enough to get one good picture of him
and the bride.
The other baptism was a cute girl named Erleen. The rest
of her family is already baptized.
We also had our zone conference and it was so good. All the stress and
anxious feelings I'd been having about going home are all gone now and
I'm super pumped to sprint it to the end. We have lots of baptisms
coming up so it will be easy to stay busy and focused.
One of our recent converts has a daughter who is disabled. The
daughter just passed away last Monday morning so we spent a lot of our
Tuesday at the funeral. It was an interesting experience. Last Sunday
evening we went to see them and we could tell the daughter was going to
die soon. We asked some of the priesthood men to give her a blessing so
they went Monday morning and she passed away within minutes after the
blessing.
I pray you all have a miracle filled week!
Sister Beutler
