So the three baptisms we had scheduled for this last saturday went through as planned. You can see the attached pictures. The first is all of the kids who were baptized, from left to right they are Alex, Mackenzie, and then Curtis. Next is Curtis and Mackenzie and their mom, and then Alex and his parents. The baptism was way awesome. Elder Burt performed all three baptisms and he almost drowned Mackenzie because her dress started to float up so he held her under longer than normal. (It really wasn't that long but it was still kind of funny) The spirit there was really strong though. A friend of Alex came and she is interested in the church and has been asking a lot of questions. Hopefully we can begin teaching her about the gospel.
The last picture is of my little run in with a pole on our apartment parking. Needless to say the mirror lost... the pole was a little more sturdy. Needless to say we should all be like the pole and build ourselves a "firm foundation" so that when things run into us we can stay strong(Helaman 5:12) but when those times come when we are like the shattered mirror, the atonement of Jesus Christ can mend all wounds (Mosiah 14:5) In the case of our mirror, a resurrection was necessary and a newer shiner mirror is now riding on our car (Alma 40:23)
Good luck to all of you and hope you are having a wonderful week.
Elder Andrew Harris
