Hello everyone! It is another wet Monday morning in Trowbridge, but what else is new?
In all honesty, there is very little to report on. This week has
been a tad bit stressful. Elder Castro managed to hurt his back quite
badly playing football last PDay and, as such, was severely limited in
his walking capabilities all week. Yet, we had to arrange a baptismal
interview (while Elder Castro was in the hospital), plan a baptism
(which had not been announced in church), and manage to get to church
for the confirmation.
Long story short, it all went well. The Zone Leaders and Bath
Elders had to come down on both Wednesday and Thursday to drive people
around and make sure the interview happened. Then, at the actual
baptism, no one from the bishopric showed up. I got a text from Bishop
at 6:15 asking when the baptism started, to which I bluntly replied "6."
The font also didn't start filling until 5:50 so that was fun. Then
Bath showed up with investigators and their ward mission leader before
anyone from our ward had arrived. Luckily the Starns and Turveys showed
up so the High Priest group leader was able to preside. In the end, all
was well and the baptism was an absolute joy to witness. Charlie was
just so willing to completely change his life. I am so grateful that the
Lord led us to him. We confirmed him yesterday in sacrament meeting and
it was just brilliant.
So, as a whole, we had a pretty good week. Granted, you seldom have
the same number of baptisms as you do teaches, but I'm not complaining!
Tonight we will be back on our feet ready to go out and convert the
nations... one door at a time.
Moves are in two weeks... that might be the craziest thing of all. Time soars when you're serving the Lord.
I love all of you so much and apologize for the brevity of this
email- there will be many miracles to report next week, promise! :)
-Elder Frederickson
