New Companion / Baptismal Service

Hello Everybody!

So yeah, I was transferred! Surprise! I'm now in the same ward but in a different area - since our "wards" (basically congregations) are geographic, so you go to a certain church building if you live in a certain area, my old area was the west half and now my area is the east half. So I packed everything up and moved a stunning 2.6 miles to be with Elder Wilson!

Bio of Elder Wilson, my new companion. He is from Ririe, Idaho, a stunning town of about 650 people, or so I hear from him. At home, he spent a lot of time doing video editing and splicing and went to a number of national competitions with a high school team for developing and editing video. He's a really good teacher, confident speaker, and likes bubbles. See below picture. 



We had a baptism on Saturday and it was amazing!!! It was for a girl named Danielle, who has extended family who are church members but no immediate family. She had been exploring Mormon.org for a few weeks and finally got the courage to call us and see if we could come teach her. She has such a burning desire to learn about the gospel - Danielle works teaching dance at a studio and has a crazy busy schedule, but we would go by at 9 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon at her 30 minute breaks to teach her.

Her baptismal service was powerful, the Spirit was strong there and everybody there knew that what Danielle was doing was right. And I got to play viola there! So it was even better! (Well, I thought it was fun, I was probably the only person who enjoyed that part.) She was baptized by an amazing member, Brother Gordon. 

Love you all lots! Spring is here (well, in Florida, at least) so enjoy it!
