A Wonderful baptism

Sorry! No time! We have to drive and help a family who had some flooding at their house, so this will be short. 

Faye's baptism was beautiful! It was so amazing and the Spirit was so strong. Elder Lampropoulos gave such an amazing confirmation prayer and blessing. He is such a great missionary. I am very blessed to get to serve with him. We are staying together in Dumfries for 7 more weeks. That is quite a long time to be in an area (7 1/2 months) and a long time to be with a companion (6 months). But we are lucky that we love each other and work hard and well together. 

Faye's scriptures came and she absolutely loved them. Thank you so much! I have written down what my guesses were to all the presents, and I will tell you if I was right. I think some were right. I guessed the Vocal Point CD and I am pretty sure there is some Burt's bees chapstick. I have some other guesses but I will save that for later. 

We had a 70 visit the mission. It was Elder Kearon. He is amazing. He is so spiritual and so funny. 

President Donaldson came down to our baptism. They haven't had a baptism here for 6 years I think. We are very excited. I love this gospel and I love this work. I am grateful to be on my mission.

Faye is so special. No one but her, Heavenly Father and the Saviour know how hard she has had to work to get to where she is. She has taught me so much. I am blessed to be a missionary. I love you!

This is our Christmas card

Our Christmas tree this year

Flooded with blessings

I have much to talk about and little time. I love you all very much and I am grateful for this glorious season we have approaching. It is a wonderful time to be able to share the gospel. Christmas is a holiday I haven't always been fond of because I feel the world has ruined it, but i love the true meaning of Christmas. Watch the new A Savior is Born video. It is amazing. I loved it so much. 

We didn't have time to go to the hospital this week. So we will do that this week... maybe. It is a very busy week leading up to Faye's baptism. We are so proud of her. it has been such a blessing to know and love her and teach her. She is incredible. She is so Christ-like and has been through so much that has made her into a glorious daughter of God.

There was so much flooding this week. My rain jacket is not Scotland proof. Scotland destroys jackets. I have been soaked to the bone this whole week. It's amazing ;) I love my mission even more now.

River this week with flooding

Moves call is next week and we aren't really sure what is going to happen. It has been a great run here in Dumfries and we have loved it. But I think one of us is moving. It might be me, or him, or both. We don't really know what is going to happen. 

There have been a lot of miracles this week. Faye is such a powerful woman. She is having some health issues, but she doesn't want to go to the hospital yet because she wants to be baptized this week. We told her that we can postpone it for her, and she told us that she wants us to be there, so she is going ahead with her baptism. She truly is a blessing in our lives. I am very grateful that I know her. 

I love you all!

Keep Fighting the Good Fight.
