Welcome to the ward! Will you play the piano for our baptism?

(Sister Slade)

So just kidding. I was supposed to be in a trio, but one of my companions decided last minute that she was going home. It's a pretty sad situation, but long story short, my only companion is Sister Faleafa. She has been out for 4 months and is from Utah.

Before transfers happened I had some really amazing experiences. We taught the young man whose in laws are members on Monday night. We taught the plan of salvation and it was incredible. I asked him what it would mean to him to receive the celestial kingdom and he said that it's the thing he wants most. The spirit was so strong in that moment.

Goodbyes are the worst. But it made me feel good that it was hard for the people I was saying goodbye to as well. :) Sister flippo threw me a small going away party. She's my mission mom in Harrison. Sister Pabst is my mission mom in Central Park. I wonder who my mission mom in Fayetteville is going to be ;)

Fayetteville has kind of been struggling because of the sister who left, so it's been an interesting couple of days. We had a lesson with a woman named Johanna. She is so golden! She wants to be baptized and have her 2 year old daughter serve a mission.

We also had a baptism on Sunday. His name is Tommy. He invited his brother to come to the baptism and now his brother wants to hear the lessons. Another cool thing that happened was that everyone was really stressed out about the music for the baptism because no one can play piano, so they were all praying that someone who could play would come. And then I was transferred into the area and was able to save the day. Just kidding. It was a really spiritual baptism though.

God is good!
