Week 17

This week has been the most stressful week of my life..... But I'm loving it! A lot has happened a lot of success and some learning opportunities along the way. Let's get down to the good stuff; we had
a baptism this week! But don't get too excited before I tell the story. Arthur Fortes is his name and he is an interesting case, he has been a member for about 7 years and was baptized twice in the Philippines. Apparently their record keeping is poor because we had to teach him everything and re-baptize him and confirm him. But it has been a really chaotic journey to get him here. He actually didn't want
to be baptized and neither did his family. They are a part member family and only his dad is a member, and his dad hated us and missionaries. We had to rebaptism him, we had it all last month but because of some difficulties and misunderstanding we weren't able to
baptize him. So this last week we got the green light and Elder Chu and myself basically just did everything by ourselves and the members helped out with the last little bit, which really was assuring and built my testimony on how members are the most effective means for missionary work. Well we pushed through Arthur's baptism despite the million and one things that went wrong, name something and it went
wrong.  It was a spiritual experience and really ignited a fire with in me on wanting to meet President’s expectations and be not just obedient but perfectly obedient. Well to be honest I have a lot of
stuff to do today and I can't write too much, love you guys
