BOOOOYA!!!!! Such an amazing week!!! So this weekend (Saturday) we had
two baptisms!!! Man it was the greatest day of my life! I was so excited!!! One asked
me to baptize Harlee and Steve asked Elder Chambers to baptize him and then
they asked the other to confirm them and give the Gift of the Holy
Ghost. So we each got to baptize and confirm! The priesthood power is
absolutely amazing. I could not stop smiling the entire baptism. I
smiled so much my cheeks were red. So when I was baptizing Harlee
(She's a cute little 13 year old girl) she started laughing as she
came out of the water. I asked her why she laughed and she told me
that she was smiling so big she couldn't help but laugh! She has the
strongest testimony! She really gets it. We asked her a while ago why
she wanted to be baptized and she said "because I want the constant
companionship of the Holy Ghost!" Her soon to be step-dad Mike
should be getting baptized really soon! I love them so much!!! I would
do absolutely anything for them.

Brother Osborne is so incredible too!!! He is so excited to be a home
teacher. It's like his highlight of the church! I just love the
enthusiasm and zeal of TRULY CONVERTED converts to the church. They
both really "get it" they understand that this isn't just a church but
it's a way of life and salvation.

There is no greater joy than bringing another soul to our Savior Jesus Christ!
