BAPTISM! "Just couldn't wait!

Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack we have an authentic Estonian meal. Sister Riismaa in our ward is super cool and feeds us good Estonian food, this week she made us some good pasta with some baked chicken drumsticks. Good stuff. Elder Bonvissuto even said the pasta was good!

The highlight of the week was for sure Elisette's baptism on Saturday! We met with her pretty much every day this week to help her be ready for Saturday! She was so excited and showed up 45 minutes earlier to the baptism because she "just couldn't wait". She asked me to baptize her and elder Bonvissuto to confirm her. It was an awesome service and she was so happy!! It was pretty cool to have elder Bonvissuto confirm her too, he was really nervous but he did an awesome job! The gift of tongues is real! 

We had a couple really solid lessons with Miriam this week too, she is doing great! We have been teaching her the commandments and she knows she needs to make some changes in her life. She is super sincere and when she prays in our lessons she asks God to continue to help her to get on the right path. She brought her 5 yr old son to church on Sunday, man he is a cute little kid. After church he just wanted to arm wrestle us haha. We are really excited for her!

Things are great here. Crazy that this is president Binghams last week as our mission president, he will be greatly missed! But we are excited to welcome in president and sister Shumway! 

I hope y'all have a great week!
