Angela's Baptism!! Lets goooo!

 (Elder Slade)

To the best friends and family a person could hope for,

This week was awesome!! Angela got baptized! It was a super spiritual baptism, and a lot of people showed up. The seal on the font was broken, so she got baptized in like 2 feet of water, but it worked out! Elder Nabrotzky and I also performed a musical number called Because He Spoke to Me at the baptism, which was super fun! He sang and I played the piano. It was a really cool experience, and I was incredibly happy as we have been teaching Angela and as she has been growing and learning in the gospel. It was amazing to me too see how it had touched her family as well. They were super happy and emotional as well. It was a testimony to me of how the gospel can bless families!

We also gave talks in one ward and performed the same song at two of the church meeting we went to, and the second was perhaps one of the best performances I've had! The spirit was strong and was guiding me and Elder Nabrotzky as we performed. Elder Nabrotzky almost passed out, but he filled the entire chapel with his voice. He is such a good singer! I'm going to be sad when one of us gets transferred. :(

Me and another Elder also did a guitar duet earlier this week for a facebook video. We did A Child's Prayer. Elder Nabrotzky, another Sister and I, will also be filming another music video this week! So this week has been pretty sweet, and pretty music filled, which I won't complain out about. I don't get enough music! But I'm grateful for the Lord blessing me with talents that I can use to bless others, and I know that the Lord give's each and every one of us talents that we can use and have joy in sharing.

P.S. Yes, it's getting a lot colder here. And yes, it's so much worse no than at the beginning of my mission, because now I am in a walking area. I'm only a little bit salty we don't have a car and can't accept rides due to covid.
