It's almost October already?!? - September 23, 2013

Those are definitely some cool pictures you of the house/weather. Glad you were back home when the worst of it hit. As for me, it has been an extremely busy week!

So to start off for this week, last Tuesday we met with Frezghi in the library. We knew that we didn't have much time with him, because he had a friend with him. So one of the first things we asked him was if he thought more about deciding a date to be baptized.

He said, "Yes. Sunday."

"This Sunday?"

"Yes. I don't want to waste any more time!"

So we began to make plans with him to help him get ready for baptism that next Sunday (yesterday). We taught him the rest of the commandments and helped him get ready for his interview and his service. And yesterday Frezghi was baptized! A lot of the young adults were there to support him (he actually knows most of them thanks to all of the football activities) He just kept saying how happy he was and he is looking forward to being confirmed next Sunday! I included two pictures of Äldste Muirbrook (who baptized him), Frezghi, Syster Hauglid, Moses, and me from the baptism =) One's a little blurry, but in the other Moses's eyes are closed.... though I'm sending both anyway.

I'm also including a picture of me and Syster Faux who I saw at a training meeting for the sisters in the mission. I think we're looking pretty good =)

Moses - He's been having a bit of a rough week, but he's definitely been thinking more about baptism. He came to Frezghi's baptism, so we hope to be able to talk to him about it the next time we meet. We think it was definitely a good experience for him.

Spiritual Moment - so many this week! The highlight would definitely be Frezghi's baptism and how everything just worked out perfectly for it in the end.

Scripture - Helman 6 - just because it is one of the few times in the Book of Mormon where the Lamanites are actively sending missionaries to teach to the Nephites. At this time, the Lamanites were a definite example of how we can fellowship others and try our best to help all to come unto Christ.

Love you all! And I hope all is fantastic with you all!

Love,

Allie
