Queridos amigos,
This week was absolutely amazing! It was busy and crazy and
I loved every moment of it.
Monday we had a lesson with Victoria and she said that she
felt ready to be baptized this week! So, we left that lesson trying hard not to
shout for happiness.
Tuesday we had district meeting and then we were in charge
of a ward activity. We basically had a free yard sale. We had a bunch of
donations of clothing, and we organized it and then gave it away to those that
need it. We had a great turn out and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Wednesday Victoria had her baptismal interview, and it went
amazing! She was so happy and seemed so at peace with her decision. We also
celebrated my halfway mark by buying icecream and wearing pants!
Thursday we had a bunch of amazing lessons with
investigators and we just had a fantastic day.
Friday was the day of the baptism!!! It was absolutely
amazing! All of Victoria`s family came to support her and it was simply
beautiful. The spirit was so incredibly strong. I love her so much and it will
be so hard to leave her and her family. They are a huge part of my life that I
will never forget.
Saturday we had a normal day teaching and testifying.
Sunday Victoria was confirmed, and her family also came to
support her in that. It was so wonderful to see that whole family sitting on
the bench in front of me and my companion. One day I hope to see that as a
regular thing with all of them baptized. They`re all getting there, some just
slower than others.
I`m so grateful for this blessing that I have to serve a
mission and get to know some of God`s wonderful children. I could never learn
what I´ve learned here in any other place. I`m truly humbled to be a small part
in the Lord`s work here.
Thank you all for supporting me in this decision. I love you
all so much! Keep smiling!
Con amor,
Hermana Chaffin
