Yesterday we had a baptism. It sort of just popped out of the woodwork. We were teaching Stacie and trying to decide how to help her progress. On Tuesday at the lesson, Elder Robb stood up and boldy used his magical abilities. "Bibbity-boppity- Bapti-ZAM!" And she was on date for Sunday. Well, yesterday we had the baptism, and it was wonderful. I was so grateful for Heavenly Father allowing us to have a first baptism for Robb and a baptism for me during my final transfer (Hopefully I can have at least one more). So, naturally, it was a great week. Elder Robb and I are doing magnanimously (no, that doesn't really make sense, but it sure does sound cool there).
I just want to say that I love this work! I love being a missionary. God loves us and has so much in store for us. Here is a wonderful quote I found this week:
--
President Ezra Taft Benson, thirteenth president of the Church, taught:
"Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He will deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, raise up friends, and pour out peace. Whoever will lose his life in the service of God will find eternal life" ("Jesus Christ—Gifts and Expectations," Ensign, Dec. 1988, 4).
