I thought since I didn´t have time to write good emails the last two weeks, I´d write you guys first, to be sure that I had time.
I´m uploading some photos too. One is from the dinner with president hall where I picked up Elder Kutomi, another is from playing with a puppy at a members house,
and the last one is Matheus´ baptism!
Matheus' baptism was a really neat experience. We had planned on having 3 baptisms this week, but the wedding that we had planned for one investigator got moved to December, and our other investigator broke her foot, and couldn´t be immersed in the water with the cast. But for Matheus, everything went right.
His parents were really concerned about his decision to be baptised. They didn´t know if he was being sincere with us, but we went to his house with the Bishop, and talked with them about the church, and how it helps the youth, and the parents gave us permission to baptise him. His mom even watched the baptism. It was really great.
Matheus is in a wheel chair because he can´t use his legs, so I held up Matheus in the water, and Elder Kutomi did the ordinance. We both helped immerse him in the water, and then I lifted him up again. It was the first, (and probably the last) time that I´ll baptize someone in a wheel chair :P Everything went smoothly though. We only had to immerse him in the water once.
Training is going ok... sometimes it's hard for Elder Kutomi to get motivated and excited to work, but little by little he´s starting to help me a little more. This week he made toast for me. I thought that was nice :)
Other than that, this week has been pretty normal. I´m working hard, and feeling the spirit really strong. I think that this part of the mission is that part that I´m working the most, and that I´m feeling the spirit the strongest. I´m learning new things everyday.
I hope you guys all have a great Thanksgiving. I´ll have to see what Elder Kutomi and I can do Thursday to make the day memorable.
I love you guys, and I´m thankful for your emails everyweek. Keep doing what is right, and let the spirit guide you.
Love, Elder Forsyth
