Wednesday we had zone meeting and Sister Kennedy and Sister Baker taught and they did an amazing job. They made cookies and everything haha!!
On Thursday we met with Chris and finished planning his baptism! It was pretty hard finding him a suit because he's a big dude haha.
On Friday we did service for a park and we went into a canyon and destroyed these bike trails that these people have been making. It was pretty weird to destroy trails but the people have been making them in land that is for wildlife.
Saturday was amazing and stressful!! We ended up getting another companionship car because one of them went home during the transfer and so the other missionary went with the zone leaders so we gave our car to 4th ward and now we have a Chevy Cruz which is much better then our Corolla!
After we exchanged cars we went and prepared for our baptism! We set up some chairs in the room with the font. It only had like 45 chairs in it and we ended up having to move into the chapel because so many people showed up! It was crazy. Our mission president and his wife taught at his baptism and at the end of his baptism Chris bore his testimony. He started crying because he couldn't believe how many people were there to support him.
On Sunday Chris was supposed to be confirmed a member and get the gift of the Holy Ghost in sacrament meeting. When it was time for it to happen he wasn't there. Everyone was like freaking out (mostly me haha) because Chris has only missed church 2 times in the past 2 years that he has been investigating the church! Right before we started the sacrament he walks in like soaking wet because it was raining and he drives a motorcycle. After the sacrament we confirmed him and it all worked out. Elder Fraughton and I spoke in sacrament meeting too which was pretty cool. The members seem pretty excited and want to support us!
Well that's it for this week!!!! This could be my last week in SD 1st ward because I'm probably getting transferred haha.
Love
Elder LaRochelle
