We began with driving down to the Potomac river because we didn't have any baptismal clothing for our investigator in our building. We found the perfect dress for her and also got to see the most stunning chapel I've ever seen.
Anyway after that we high tailed it to Centerville across the entire mission because Elder Anderson came to the mission to speak to us! We got to shake his hand and it was incredible to hear him talk. He's the 3rd apostle that has personally come to the mission and it is so special to hear them speak more directly and personally than they are able to in general conference. His testimony was so powerful, it was a privilege.
After that meeting was over we drove back out across the mission for the baptism of Liliana, it was so great! A little bit stressful especially because we don't have a ward mission leader at the moment so it was all on us. We made a couple embarrassing errors in the baptismal program but most of the ward knows that I'm a goof so it ain't no thing. Nothing can stop the work of the Lord!
I had the wonderful opportunity to do the ordinance myself! I love Liliana and it was such a pleasure to be able to see her take such an important step in her life. She's converted to Jesus Christ and has found the promised joy and peace that comes from following him.
In other news this week our investigator that has been investigating for 6 months (Paco) had a huge breakthrough after our lesson on grace and hasn't chewed tobacco since! Before he couldn't even go a day! It was definitely an answer to prayers. He'll be getting baptized here very soon.
Well, I love you all and hope that you've been saying your prayers and studying not just reading! Chow!
Elder Brunsdale
