Hey gang! Yesterday we had a member meal with an awesome less active Hispanic family. They made us some dang good carne asada with beans, rice and tortillas and some oatmeal water (which is basically horchata but oatmeal instead of rice). That is one thing I've really missed is some good Mexican food, my home made quesadillas just aren't getting the job done on satisfying my Mexican food craving. But the Quezada's food sure did! I definitely ate too much but my food baby was well worth it!
Wow, what a crazy, awesome week! It happened... all 12 of our investigators got baptized!!! Such a hectic, stressful week with trying to finish teaching them all, schedule baptismal interviews for 12 people, actually having all 12 interviews, arranging for all 12 to have baptismal suits that fit them, creating the baptism program, making sure they all were at the baptism on time, organizing the confirmation, making it all happen, then filling out all the baptismal records! But Heavenly Father definitely worked His miracles and it happened!! And boy was it an awesome experience seeing the joy on all of their faces after they got baptized!!
It was the last week with Elder Noble, and I'm sure gonna miss that guy, he is such a stud! We've become great friends and I'm so glad we got to end this transfer with a bang! I'm so happy and grateful for the opportunity to know and teach these amazing people; the Bello's: Oladele, Lydia, Dami and Victor. The Opadele's: Ibukun, Abiola, Nifesimi and Isaac. The Bodunrin's: Fatima, Folahami, and Folawemi. And Bola Olola. How amazing it was to hear their testimonies of how they came to know the restored gospel is true and how much it has blessed their lives. Bola shared her testimony and said, "I'm so grateful for my elders, Elder Thorpe and Elder Noble and all they have done for me!" Definitely tugged at my heart strings!
I'm beyond grateful for the amazing people I've been blessed to meet and come to know. They have brought so much joy to my life! I can't thank the Lord enough! We also got our transfer calls and I will be getting Elder Ward. I've heard lots of good things about him so I'm excited for this next transfer here in Hyde Park, to keep the ball rolling! The gospel is true! I love you all!
