but this week i hit my year mark so i was able to burn a shirt! (don't worry, it wasn't my shirt) i will send you some pictures when i get a chance to do that. but this week we had 2 baptisms so it was pretty awesome! the one girl Michelle got baptized so that was pretty awesome! but it was a really aweosme experience, her parents are non-members and they came to the baptism and the baptism went really really well, but her parents definetly felt the spirit, her dad is in the Army and he was shedding some tears and was like really excited after the baptism telling people that he felt the holy spirit and he was like checking out the font and was like saying that he was ready to be baptized right now! but during sacrament meeting michelle got confirmed and it was really awesome and it was testimony meeting, and remember what i told you about what Elder Bednar told us about pure testimonies telling us that we shouldn't give a thankimony, instead just bear testimony about how you know that christ lives, but anyways a bunch of little kids bore pure testimony and the spirit was really really strong and i was about to get up and then Michelle's dad got up and bore his testimony saying that he felt the spirit and was so proud of Michelle's decision to be baptized and also about how he would want to follow her in her footsteps soon!!!! (and this was the same dad that wouldn't let her get baptized until she was 18) but anyways after the meeting her mom had to go back to work and i thought that her parents were only going to stay for sacrament, but instead Michelle's dad stayed for gospel principles so that was awesome!!!
but also this other guy named steve got baptized this weekend also, he was at michelle's baptism because he wanted to see an LDS baptism before he got baptized and he was like a little kid at the baptism telling everybody that he was going to be baptized but he got baptized on sunday so he won't be confirmed until next sunday, but anywyas his girlfriend or supposedly girlfriend, lives in brigham city and she got pulled over and she had some warrants so she got arrested on saturday night but got out on sunday morning and she said that she was going to come down for the baptism but at the last second she became gay and backed out saying that she was too scared to drive and that made steve really mad and he almost didn't get baptized because he wanted to be there but he got baptized and after he was baptized he said he was really glad he did it now. so that was awesome!
Love
