| Many blessings ahead for the Perez Family! |
Yesterday was the baptism of the Perez family! It was beautiful.
We had a pretty crazy week so we weren't able to go and see them as often as we
would have liked to. But everything came together for the baptism so it was
great! It was announced in Sacrament meeting and so many people came, I've
never seen anything like it. We held the whole program in the chapel and then
everyone walked down to the relief society room for the baptism.
We helped them get ready and all we girls walked into the
baptistery where the little waiting area is. It was so special to stand there
with them and watch as Brother Keicher baptized Eddie. It was incredible! The
Spirit was so strong!! I loved to see Eddie’s face as he watched his wife and
children also get baptized. I love this family! They are so strong! I am so
happy for them because I know they are coming closer to Christ each day they
move forward in His gospel. This will bring so much happiness to their family!
Something that is hard for me to explain is the way they looked
to me after they were baptized. I saw each of them in a completely new way. I
could see that the Spirit was with them, they were glowing! It was such a
sacred experience.
After that I got to work on Alyssa's hair, she’s 15 so it needed
to be dried and straightened before we went back to the chapel haha it was so
fun! I think her hair dried in maybe 6 minutes! It was also her 15th birthday
and I got her the cutest little “tiara” birthday card. It said Birthday
Princess and had hot pink glittery feathers on it! The best part is that she
could wear it.
So when we all got back into the chapel, I gave the talk on the
Gift of the Holy Ghost. It was a very powerful baptismal service. Then we went
to the gym to have refreshments of course.
It was the best week of my mission!!!
I can't believe I go back to Temple Square in 2 weeks! Time has flown!
This Saturday is Gary's baptism. This is an investigator we have
been working on since I got here, we’re so excited! And we will have 5
confirmations on Sunday! Oh my goodness!
Love you all!
