Daisy & Genesis Baptism!!!!

So AWESOME!!!!

Hi Everyone!,

I hope all of you had an amazing week! We accomplished so much this week! 

Daisy and Genesis were able to be baptized yesterday! The husband was supportive but shows no interest yet. One day he will! Anyways, it was super powerful! They have been preparing for awhile now and we were so happy they finally made this step. Sister Jones and I had the opportunity to do the interlude at the baptism on joy! We talked about how the gospel brings us joy and the conversion on Alma the Younger. (Alma 36:19-21) It helped me realize all the blessing in missionary work and in my life in general. How much JOY I feel while serving the Lord and helping others. 

At the baptism two of our investigators came! Bianca and Della! They left both ready for their baptisms and we are probably going to do the 13th for them. They are in their mid 20's and both have very different pasts. Della especially had a few issues that landed her at rock bottom. She wants to change so badly and they both are progressing so well! Hopefully May is another successful month looking good so far! 

We also biked a little bit this week! Every time an Elder or someone saw us they would be like, "Sisters on bikes?"  YES! It happens! haha anyways it makes it easier for us to talk to people and to find. It only comes through sacrifices, that we can receive these miracles in our area.

On Saturday, I was able to go back to Kerman and see Jasmine be baptized! Her family was a part member family and we had been working with them for a long time! It was so good to see them along with a bunch of other familiar faces! I had such a blast but I knew that Lindsay is where I needed to be. I know the Lord directs his work and I am so happy to be here with Sister Jones. We work so well together and have a lot of laughs. We truly find JOY in the journey. I felt that love for these people as they made the convenant of baptism with their Father in Heaven. It reminds me of his love for each of us, and he is helping us every step of the way!

Love you all :)
