Hello my wonderful friends and family! This week was super wild! But so good!
First off.....
ROMINA GOT BAPTIZED TUESDAY!
The baptism was so amazing! I was able to give a talk which was fun! As she was baptized the spirit was so strong and literally everyone in the room was emotional, especially Suliasi(her husband), who was the one baptizing her! I even almost cried. After the baptism she received the gift of the Holy Ghost and it was so so special! It was given to her in Tongan but the spirit was so strong, so it didn't matter if I could understand it. We then went to a restaurant called Villa Brasil. It was out of our mission, but President said we could go if we got a ride. So Suliasi and Romina took us! It was special to talk to them after it had just happened. Romina just kept saying that she didn't think it would have happened this fast if we wouldn't have come over that first night! She then said the cutest thing ever and I literally almost started crying! She said "everyone always talks about their missionaries and now I finally have mine" and then Suliasi was like "yeah and everyone's jealous that we get you guys." Now I know it wasn’t anything to do with us! We just were guides on a path that was between Heavenly Father and Romina! Nothing would have happened unless Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ were in every detail along the way! Romina called me the next day! I had given her a letter at the baptism because I transferred the day after. She told me how the letter said some things that she has felt the same exact way about! It was such a cool experience and I just love her SO MUCH! This is what people mean when they talk about loving the people you serve and now I finally get to experience it! I just love God SO MUCH!
Second off.....
JERRY GOT BAPTIZED!
This was also such an AMAZING day! We have been talking about this day for so long! I mean only 3 or 4 months, but still! I remember the first lesson that Sister Kratz and I had with him. The night of that lesson we were talking about how we could already see him in white lol! We were slightly just very hopeful, but it isn't just a hope anymore! So that’s good! I was able to be a witness at his baptism! As he was put under the water the Spirit was SO STRONG! He came up smiling and what almost seemed like glowing, and he softly nodded and just said "yeah!" As he received the Holy Ghost, the spirit was also so strong in the room. I'm so grateful that he made this choice to follow Jesus Christ and come close to Heavenly Father! After the baptism he told me that he had always felt the Spirit, but this time it was different! He said it felt like it was running through him! He also called me yesterday and we were able to do a small Book of Mormon story! It's crazy how much he's grown! He literally told us 4 months ago that he wasn't meeting with us to convert so that we shouldn't plan on it! Then God worked his magic. BAM! He's a member!
Third off....
We had transfers! It was so sad to leave Hurst, and I literally could not stop crying! I also had to leave Sister Berg which made me super sad! She was an amazing companion! But here in Colleyville has been good. Sister Ford and I finally got our wish of being comps so that is amazing. We have been telling President we want to be comps our whole mission and it finally happened! Funny thing is, he told me on the phone "I prayed and I prayed and God told me yes. I was like are you sure? And he still said yes" hahaha we think he knew we would be crazy because we are now in his ward, haha!
I also go my trainee! Sister Studdert! She is so amazing! Funny thing! Her best friend was trained by one of my best friends, Sarah in their mission in Indiana! So I had already heard about her before she came out. Kinda wild! Sister Studdert is a vibe and a half though! She is honestly super similar to Ford and I, and so we all just go crazy together! It's been so fun and I feel like I'm with some of my best friends! The work is super super slow here but we are going to work so hard and try to make it better!
Anyways I have gone on for too long! I love you all tons, and God loves you more! Lmk if you need anything!
