Bobby got baptized this week!!!

In the exciting world of the California Irvine Mission, this week was the last week of the transfer so Friday and Saturday were pretty anxious days waiting for trainers calls and transfer calls. Unfortunately Elder Nielsen got both so tomorrow our companionship is being split up and he gets to train somebody else somewhere else. I'm so glad I got to be taught by him and that we could become good friends but I know that he is needed elsewhere now. It will interesting to have to lead out my area and adjust to a new companion but I know that it will help me grow.

Bobby got baptized this week!!! It was such a spiritual experience to be there. His sister spoke on baptism and read her journal entry from 15 years ago when she got baptized, it was so cool to see how happy she was and happy their whole family was. It was also super cool that her husband, Thomas, baptized both her and Bobby. Being able to see Bobby finally get baptized was so amazing and helped me realize how important this work is because as happy as his family here was I am sure that Heavenly Father was way happier and that's what's most important. I can't wait until we can help Cam make this important step next week as well and then hopefully the week after that with Ross. Mostly I feel blessed to be able to help these people and help my Heavenly Father and to be able to see the success I have seen so early in my mission. I am sure that their will be tough times ahead but life is always tough so no matter what we need to keep having faith and doing what is right and our Father in Heaven will take care of us because he loves us so much and always wants us to be happy. This church is so true, Jesus is the Christ and the son of God, Joseph Smith was a prophet and these people are good and I need to be with them!

Love,
