Sooooo maybe the water was a little cold but it's okay right?

AJ GOT BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY!!!! So the baptism was set for 1pm on Saturday. Thursday we get a call from Brother Guy, our ward mission leader. He says, "Sisters, we have some bad news. AJ might have to work on Saturday. But he still wants to get baptized on Saturday no matter what so it might just have to be in the evening." We prayed so hard that he wouldn't have to work but he did. So we moved the baptism to 8pm that evening. We asked the elders how long it takes to fill the font because they had a baptism a few weeks ago. They told us 2-3 HOURS. We were like okay okay we can do this. But Brother Guy was like, "I can fill the font, no worries". There was also a ward activity that night 6-8pm so the baptism was just going to be right after. We get to the church about 6:30 and Sister Stubbs gets the feeling that we should check the font. So we go check on it and it's empty! We never even asked how to turn it on because we didn't need to. So we said a prayer and asked to know how to turn on the font and for the font to fill quickly. As soon as we opened our eyes I saw the lever to turn on the water. Right next to the hot water lever there was a lever for cold water. So maybe the water was a little chilly but at least there was water! 

Sherman is awesome. She told us everytime she picks up the Book of Mormon she can't put it down. However, she still hasn't come to church. We are a little disappointed but hopefully we can bring General Conference to her this week and that will inspire her to come to church. 

We had another lesson with Ercel and it went really well! We invited him to be baptized and he said he would think about it. He really likes having us come over and teach us but he also has not come to church yet! That's what we should focus on especially with General Conference this weekend! 

The air force base is in our area and sometimes we see these HUGE airplanes. They seriously look like whales flying through the sky. It's my favorite thing. There are a lot of members in our ward that work at the base so we are hoping to get on and look at the planes up close!

General Conference is the best time of the year! Just think, select men and women have been chosen to speak to the whole world! If you listen with a purpose. Meaning if you listen with questions in mind I can promise that those questions will be answered. General Conference is a great place to receive personal revelation. There is a quote by Robert D. Hales where he says, "In conferences we can receive the word of the Lord meant just for us." (Thanks for the quote mom) General Conference is for you! I love you all and I hope to be able to hear what you learn from General Conference this weekend!
