Back when I was a young missionary in the missionary
training center of Mexico City, Mexico. My district always joked around with
our teachers about our role play baptism date. We always practiced putting
everyone on date for the 20th of November to be baptized. It was random and
funny. But yesterday, on the 20th of November, a whole year later, we were able
to have a baptism. Not just one baptism.. but 2! It was so great! Crystal and
Luis were able to finally be baptized and it was definitely a joyous
occasion.
Although this day was a great one, it didn't come without a
little craziness!
Here was our restful Sabbath day:
wake up, study and leave for ward council
do ward council
practice for a musical number I played for the ward
have church
make the baptism program
drive across town to eat some tacos
drive back across town to the church to fill up the font
find out that some elders decided to have a baptism when we
reserved the font
herd all the Spanish members in the lobby while we wait for
the English baptism to end
have the baptism
lock up the font and say goodbye to all the members
go proselyte for the last 2 hours of the day
have a lesson with a super old man with a cat who kept
walking out of the lesson to get grapefruit for us.
leave
drive home
plan
go to bed
In all honesty, this day wouldn't have been so bad if my
body hadn't decided to get the flu and my nose wasn't running like a faucet BUT
we were extremely blessed for our efforts.
I also went on a super fun exchange to a far tiny corner of
the mission. Out in the little mountain community of Idllywild California. For
the first time in almost a year, I was cold! I saw big trees! I saw a tiny
taste of Utah. :) I also found a lady from my hometown in Syracuse Utah and
that was super coincidental.
Have a great week!
Stay Safe& God Speed.
Love, Hermana Tobler
