S12 E5: Poboys and Baptisms

 (Elder Cummings)

This week was great.

We're helping out our main man Brother Rowand unload a shed and put everything into a barn. Why? I don't know. After Hurricane Ida his barn caved in and so we were loading all his stuff while snapped wooden beams just hung over us.

Anyway, from there we treat ourselves to some classic New Orleans PoBoys. So good.

Then from there we run over to a lesson with a wonderful woman named Lavette. We taught her once about a month ago and then her life turned upside down and we couldn't get anything done. Nevertheless she, and we, persevered. We have an amazing lesson where she promised us she would come to church the next day and pray everyday about the message of the Restoration until she feels she got an answer. She came to church yesterday, loved every bit of it, wants to keep coming and feels she has her answer.

After the awesome lesson we hop into our bishops car and drive the hour to Hammond to Debbie's baptism. We had taught Debbie throughout this transfer but she had moved to Hammond just last week. She had asked Elder Smith to baptize her so we make our way up there and it was an amazing service. Debbie is awesome and is headed to the temple this month!! It was also hype cause while Debbie changed they gave time for testimonies and a friend the Sisters were teaching stood up and said she wanted to be baptized too. So awesome.

Anyway, we get transfer news this week so next email we'll know what happens. I'm hoping to stay cause I've been in 6 different areas the last 6 transfers. We'll see.

Yall stay blessed
