What a great day on Saturday for Francisca to get baptized! Luke describes her as an angel. He pictured her baptism to be so peaceful and pleasant but as she was getting up out of the water she started to choke on the water and stuggle :) So not quite how Luke pictured it going, ha ha ha, but that didn't take away from the beautiful covenant that she made and the beautiful ordinance they witnessed.
Before she was baptized Luke asked her how it was going without smoking and she told him it was not an issue anymore. So grateful our prayers for her have been answered! She is so excited about the gospel and Luke said she is the first one to church every Sunday. In fact she gets there so early that the other ward is still meeting and so she goes in and sits down and listens. She gets two sacrament meetings in one! :)
Next Sunday they will have another baptism for a lady named Ellie and her son Leo. And then on the 17th the Veron family will get baptized! So there is a lot going on right now! But Luke is worried they will just baptize and then not have anyone to teach so he is working hard with the members right now to get referrals. He emphasized that it is so important to always be finding! I love his enthusiasm!!! He is such a great missionary and working so hard!
He also had MLC this week (Mission Leadership Conference) He said it was awesome and that they are really trying to work on retention in the mission right now. They want to make sure their converts are truly converted and stay on the covenant path.
Luke seems to be in good spirits! Today he and his zone are having another asado (where they get together and cook up meat :) So grateful he is doing well! Love that missionary of mine!
