Robbie's Baptism 🌊🤍

 We had such a busy and amazing week!! 

We had a mini zone conference/training by the APs and that was fun. I had my last interview with President Hamblin which was insane! He gives great advice! 

God has been blessing us! He's been preparing so many people that they are reaching out to us! We've had like 10 people request to meet with us and come to church! Normally people don't remember making the request, but almost all of them remember and were eager to learn more!! Angel requested to meet with us. We gave him a tour of the church and showed him the baptism font, the paintings, and said prayer at the end. He was emotional and said he really enjoyed it. He came to church on Sunday! He even made friends with one of the members. Paige is also someone we're meeting with. We've met with her twice now. Last time she told us she really wants to come to church, she just needs a ride. She explained that God told her she needs to go to church. She came to church on Sunday and told us this is where God needs her!! 

We did lots of service this week! I love being outside and working! We helped work food donations and did yard work! 💪

Robbie was baptized!! He's been taught by missionaries for a long time but recently passed over to us and we had to teach him all of the lessons again. So we taught him everything in a week and we also only had a week to plan his whole baptism. This is also Sister Austin's first baptism and I don't know most of the ward members so that was fun. Everything pulled together though, and it was wonderful! 

In one of our lessons with him, I felt prompted to ask if he ever thought of serving a mission. He lit up and enthusiastically said, "yes!" Earlier this week during zone conference, one of the missionaries shared his testimony. He is a convert to the church, he didn't grow up in the gospel. He shared how he met the missionaries and how they helped him and that's why he wanted to serve a mission. It was so heartwarming to see so many fruits of missionary work! 

I love witnessing people making covenants at baptism! Since a covenant is a two way promise between us and God, I like to think of baptism is the way we show our promise to God and when we receive the Holy Ghost (the second part of baptism) is how God shows His promise to us. 

Hope yall have an amazing week!!

Please pray for
