Dear, Family
This week has been really good and very stressful! Super big time stress haha, but it's all good. So this week was the Baptism of Nathan Exton and Kasilita Hola. We had their baptisms the Same day. But because it was their Baptism we really just focused on trying to see them and make sure that they were ready and understood what they were doing. So not anything really else happened to exciting except the Baptisms. So on Saturday Morning was there baptism at 8:00 am so we go at the chapel at 7:00 am to prepare thing's fill up the font clean the windows and vacuum and what not, because the Samoan Branch had a huge party and destroyed the Chapel really frustrates me when members don't take proper care of the Chapel. So where cleaning and Kasi show up and were like all good sweet now where just waiting for Nathan to show up. Then we get a text saying hey Elder Johnson and Elder Latu I might not be able to make it I'm like 30 minute away from the chapel and have no rid to the chapel from Redbank station. It's like 7:25 when we get this text so we start worrying a little bit. We ended up asking the bishop to drive us 10 minute to the bus station to pick Nathan up so he can actually make it to his baptism. So he is their pick him up go back to the chapel. Change take Photos and go to his service it was wonderful and good Me and elder Latu and some of the other boys in the ward sang a musical number... I know right me singing! haha my voice has improved a little bit. So nervous and shy though. But finally it came down to the baptism I baptised Nathan and Elder Latu Baptised Kasi. What a wonderful spiritual experience to be with him in the water of baptism and to help him come unto Heavenly Father through the wonderful gate of Baptism. Super nervous!!!! but the following Sunday Kasi came to church and I was able to preform his confirmation we didn't have a microphone so I had to be loud. it was really cool during it though I felt like I was falling underneath his chair. The Stressful part is that Nathan didn't show up to church and wasn't able to be confirmed that day. But we were trying so hard to get a hold of him and talk to him. any ways Yesterday we we were able to contact him and we will do his confirmation tomorrow! So happy to see 3 really solid Convert Baptisms in my first area I'm so blessed. Was able to go to the Temple again today and what a wonderful experience did an endowment session and then witnessed and stood in the place of children for Sealing! I really am starting to gain a testimony of the power and divinity of the lord's temples and Latter day work! attend the temple!!! I know the lord Jesus Christ Lives and he is at the Head of his Church! I can testify of the Infinite power and grace of Atonement of our saviour, and cleansing us from our sins! I love you all and I hope you have a wonderful week! I'll send some pictures next week.
Love,
Elder S. Johnson
