We had a baptism Saturday! It was really, really, really
stressful. We had planned to do the baptismal interview just an hour
before the baptism. We received a call at 11 o'clock
that morning that we didn't have a place to baptize. We didn't know what to do.
It isn't our responsibility to get a place, but at the last minute it was. During
this time we were working on the baptismal program. The other elders arrived
and we went and ate out for lunch with them, and that was good. We made it back
to the church at 2:00 to have the interview and to tell them that we didn't have
a place. But they arrived late, but not to stress too much, the interview went
quick. Olindo, the old guy getting baptized is 82 years old and we didn't have
a place with warm water so we asked if he would be baptized in the
river that goes directly into the ocean. He said he didn't care so we decided to
do that at 4:00. So everything eventually worked out fine. We finished
everything at about 6:00. I was just so tired, and the Church was messy,
so we decided to clean the church. We left the chapel at 8:00 and
did a little bit of work. The next day I was more tired. Baptism is a lot
of stinking work. But everything was good. The son-in-law of Olindo baptized
him, who is the husband of a recent convert. So it was really cool. And yeah, I gave a small talk on the Holy
Ghost.
