Dressed in White (email dated 10/26/2009)

Well this week was toped off on a very high note with Louisa being Baptized at 7 o'clock in the church of Aruba! Yes she went threw with it and we were all very happy to see her make this very important decission in her life! We were passing by every day to make sure that she was all ready the whole week and it definately was worth it. Especialy when we asked her who it was that she would like to preform the baptism for her. She answered us by saying well of coarse i want some one who's helped me from the begining and asked me if i would do it! I was very humbled and very willing to accept, and on baptism saturday there i was standing in the water in white with Louisa and performed the baptism!!!! The moment passed fairly quickly, but the memory and the feelings are going to last with me an eternity! It was such a honor to be able to help Luisa make one of the biggest choices every for her eternal life! I felt so warm inside and so happy for her that words literally cant explain it! Then the next day, sunday, she was confirmed as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints! Its weeks like these that make the mission so great! Not only was it great because Luisa was baptized but what made it even better was that Alexandra, one of our investigators, said she would also be baptised so we set a date for her on November 21. Yeah Awesome week right?... With Alexandra we still have some work to do but she has a lot of potential and were going to be working for her goal of the 21st of November to be baptized. So as you can tell the work is progressing down here in Aruba quite well and i love every moment of it! i'm really just at a lose of words because of how great this week has been and to just throw a cherry on top i'm an uncle again! Congrats Lachelle!!! i cant wait to see some picks of that little stud! Man count your many blessings right! ? I'm very grateful to my Heavenly Father right now for all the blessings he's given us in our lifes to experience this past week!

Man i love this life!
