Lateasa's Baptism

Lateasa's Baptism

It has been a good week.  Spent thanksgiving at Sister Hardy's house with some other families.  She is such a nice lady, always wanting to feed us and take care of us.

Lateasa's baptism went well.  Well attended (60-70 people).  She asked me to give the talk on baptism.  She was super excited.  We had Luke, Luetta, Larina, and Timothy's wife, Michelle, were at the baptism.  (Timothy's kid was sick so he stayed home to watch him).

Tuesday I went on exchange with Elder Williams who is in Watertown.  We worked in Carthage.  We taught Timothy and Michelle about the temple, eternal families, and family history.  It is amazing to feel the spirit testify that what you say is true and you know that they feel it as well.

We have been working with everyone else on their baptisms.  A few will be pushed back a couple of weeks.  I will let you know after their interviews.

It was a little bit slower this week, but great things were done to help eveyone progress.  It is fun to see the discovery or the 'enlightening' of the spirit in their lives.
Well I need to get going.  Sorry for the short email this week.

Love,
Elder Shurtz
