This week has been super crazy and awesome! We got to be part of a baptism of 2 little girls! It was awesome, they wanted to be baptized so bad! We quickly taught them everything they needed to know and they had been to church enough times so we said let's do this!
But! We got new Mission Leaders last Monday! They are so so incredible. They remind me of the grandma and grandpa from Up. They are just full of fun and energy and ready to share the gospel! They have accidentally called my companion and I twice which was hilarious (one was during church).
We invited them to come to the baptism that was tentatively planned for Saturday for those two girls and they said they'd love to! When we finished planning we changed it to Sunday and reinvited them. Saturday we receive a text saying that they will be there in 9 minutes! They must've not read the updated day and had driven 30 minutes already to come! As a missionary you never want to receive a text saying your mission president is 9 minutes away from you when they have no reason to be. So we panicked and called and explained the situation to them and they were like "Whoops! Stay there." So we did and they just stood there and with us and talked for 30 minutes! Everyone, that does not happen unless you are in trouble or are having an interview. But we were just laughing and getting to know them! And they ended up showing up at the baptism the next day too! I love President and Sister Kerr they are so incredible!
This week has been stressful with the new mission leaders, a tough companionship in our zone, and just the overall stress of being a missionary. But it is so good at the same time!
We also met a polygamist who has 63 kids😳
But God is good everyone and life is good in Coeur d'Alene! There are so many people here that need the gospel and our mission was blessed with 111 baptisms this month!! That is something we've never done and we're all super excited!
I'd love to hear from you!
