Baptism

Monday Aug 19, 2019

 Hey, I am doing pretty good. Sorry to hear that Gracie passed away. She is in a much better place though. I send my prayers to Grandma and that she will get over this. 

We are doing pretty well in Stonewall. There was a Baptism yesterday that we got special permission from President Dalton to do, well at least the confirmation of the Holy Ghost at the Baptismal service. Her name is Wincate Nganga who turned 9 a couple days ago and her 8 year old brother Alexander was also baptized by the Branch President who is also their Grandpa. It was a really good Baptismal service and it almost didn't go through. One of their younger siblings got sick on Friday and they wanted to postpone the Baptism until another day. We texted them saying that if their kids are baptized that day that their daughter will not be sick anymore. They later called and asked to do it on Sunday and it was a really good service. The water ran pretty slow but we eventually got through with it all. We are doing pretty well and we hope to work hard in this area. We had a Blitz in our area on Friday where we had a couple missionaries in our area working. We went to someone named Chris who has a couple questions about the church and we really hope we can address any concerns he may have. 

Elder Peabody is doing good and he wants to make sure that he see's a difference in others lives. He is likes to work out quite a bit and is a pretty big health addict. He also likes Dragon Ball Z which I know Aiden liked at one time. We also bought 20 Corn Dogs at Sonic for their 50 cent deal they had. As we were going to the car someone begged us for Money. Elder Peabody got out $20 from the ATM and gave it to him. I wish he didn't have to do it because it points a bad image on the church when Missionaries are giving away money. I had to buy quite a bit of food for him on my Personal card so you may have seen some withdrawals from the bank because of that. Hopefully I don't spend too much money than I normally would. I also had Fried Alligator this week so that was really good. Anyways hope you are all doing well and I'll talk to you again soon!
