This
week was a great week! Brother Cooper got baptized! On Saturday morning we
awoke at 5 and got ready for the baptism and then left by 6 to meet him at the
church! We then taxied down to the ocean; a place called Alligator Pond and had
the baptismal service there! It was such a wonderful experience! Very quiet
with the ocean waves rolling! Brother Cooper was so excited and a little
nervous as well! After he was baptized we had a small testimony meeting and it
was so great to hear him bear his testimony on how he personally came to know
that this was the true church!
We also
went on a trade off with the zone leaders earlier this week! That was also a
great experience! Got a break from the bike and got to ride in a truck for a
couple days! The zone leaders live up in Santa Cruz not too far from Junction!
It was weird to see small neighborhoods called Schemes because Junction doesn’t
have anything like that. Just little houses scattered throughout the bush! But
it was awesome to be with a zone leader for a while and learn more about
teaching and finding!
I was also
able to give a talk in sacrament this past Sunday! I was asked to speak on our
branch mission goals because the branch president is really trying to get this
branch moving. So I tried my best to give them some motivation on how to
accomplish the goals and how we can’t do it without them! We also had a family
from Texas close to where I was serving prior so that was really weird to see
white people that aren’t missionaries at church! All in all it has been a great
week! I know that as we continue to work our hardest and rely upon the Lord to
strengthen not only us as missionaries but the branch and our investigators, we
will be able to work mighty miracles for this Junction Branch!
