What a great week! Jane got baptized yesterday!! It was so spiritual! So she doesn't really like church... she thinks it's really boring, she falls asleep and everything! haha so she was like ehh have am I going to be able to be baptized but enjoy church?! So we prayed about it right before she got baptized and she just had a peaceful feeling! President and Sister Anderson were at the baptism, so that was very special!! I gave the baptismal talk. I was way nervous, because president was going to be there! But the spirit was the one who was talking, not me. I just started to talk about stuff I didn't even prepare! I also talked to Jane about her son Adam, how proud he was of her and also her Heavenly Father. We all started to cry. The spirit was so strong!! Ahh amazing. Then she was baptized and Elder Whitely had to do it twice because the first time he was crying and couldn't get the words out, Jane was crying also. It was amazing!! This morning we went over and talked about how she can do work for the dead for her son Adam, we tried teaching her before, but it just barley clicked for her! So she was like well shoot Dan needs to be baptized so he can baptize his best friend! We were like YES!! Haha she is going to help us get Dan baptized!!
Ahh this was a great way to leave Hendersonville. I was bawling when I found out I was being transferred. But I found out that I am going to Thompson Station, Franklin. That is a very nice area, so I am happy! Sister Cotton came from there, so it's funny I'm going there! There is a baptism this Saturday with Sister Hacker, we went down there for her Son's baptism this last transfer, so now she is getting baptized! So Sister Cotton and her new companion will drive down for that on Saturday! So that's very exciting!
I LOVE being a missionary. Nothing is better than having people come unto Christ. My heart is SO full. I just can't stop smiling!! My testimony has grown so much. I'm excited to start new again and to learn more! Thanks for all the love and support!! Love you all:)
