Today's title comes from today's lunch. Sister Jelderks had
bought canned salmon and made salmon patties. Unfortunately they didn't take
the vertebrae out of the salmon and sister Jelderks made the patties without
realizing. So she ate her salmon patty with the vertebra in it. When she had
one bite left she realized that there was a vertebra in it. She decided to eat
the last bite any way.
This week was really good because Johana was baptized! It
was really neat to be a part of it. I've been here for all of it except her
first lesson. I've loved seeing how the gospel truly changes people and their
lives. What's even better is when they are able to see it. Johana didn't pray
when we met her, last Sunday she bore her testimony in Relief society on the
power of prayer. She told us this week that she realized that she didn't have
to be perfect to be baptized but that baptism was a step towards becoming
perfect. A few months ago she didn't think she was worthy to even come to
church. I'm so happy for her.
Other exciting things that happened this week: we walked 3
miles to the animal shelter for service and then 3 miles home. Johana's 2 year
old daughter saw us when she walked into church and got really happy and
yelled, "Hola Amigas!" It was really cute, especially since she
doesn't speak coherently 90% of the time. We got to hold week old baby bunnies.
That was almost as cute as Johanny.
God is good!
