BAPTISM IS AWESOME!!!

Me,  Alvaros,  Sayda (Alvaros girlfriend,

 she is a member) and Elder Peterson. 

Alvaro was baptized on Saturday. He's been an investigator for 6 months and finally made the choice to be baptized. It was nerve wracking to be the person to baptize him. Me, a person who struggles with the language and setting up the service for him. But when we were in the font an overwhelming peace came over me. I don't remember thinking what I need to say it just came out. I only did it once and it was perfect. I asked him what he was feeling afterwards and he said he felt calm. Ever since he said that I have been calm too. A calmness I can only describe as a pure peace.

Elder Peterson gave him the Holy Ghost the next day during Sacrament Meeting.

Funny stories:

     After Alvaros baptism we asked him to take the plug out to drain the water. He grabbed the chain  and it broke. Without even thinking he went under and grabbed it. He came out and he said, "I was just baptized twice." I absolutely love him.

     An investigator from another ward came for English class then stayed for a noche de hogar. We were playing a game kinda like charades. Everyone wrote down three people on pieces of paper and people went up to act them out. There were two teams and only your team can say what you are doing. The investigator was on my team and I went up there and flat out said I can't read. She then yells Michelle Obama. The paper said Michelle Obama.
