Hi Mom,
It was an AWESOME week, Matt, Jessica, and Tiffany were all baptized this weekend!!!!!!! It was crazy. SO much was going on. IT was a very stressful but such an amazing week. Tiffany has always had a fear of water.It took her about 3 minutes to get in the water. Then (her uncle was baptizing her) she and Her Uncle sood in the water for about 10 minutes while her grandma was talking with her and then she felt mor comfortable being baptized forward. So she knelt on her knees and she went forward in the baptismal process. BUT she did it!!! Everyone was so happy for her as were Elder Ravia and I. It was a great day!
Then on Sunday Tiffany was confirmed by her uncle. Matt and Jessica were at church so they were eligable to be baptized right after church so thats what we did! We were planning on it the whole week so it was depending on if they came to church or not. During church Jessica didnt want to go to Relief Society by herself but when we went to pick her up her and Matt were like "how did you like your class???" and they both said"I loved it!!' so that was really cool to hear. Then we had the baptism right after church. Elder Ayala and I were asked to perform the baptisms so Elder Ayala came all the way down from fairfax. All the office senior missionaries are in his ward so they couple in charge of the cars (Elder Harris and Sister Harris) drove him and his comp (Elder Yates He plays Lacrosse for BYU so we love talking lacrosse with each other) to the baptism. So it was a awesome event. A ton of the ward stayed for the baptism. Matt and Jessica were so happy and everything worked out so perfectly!!!!
The rest of this week was pretty fun. We had district meetings at the new Spotsylvania bulding. It is all brick and has huge white columns. It looks like a 1800 buliding its soooo awesome. Then the night of all the interviews was chaos trying to get everything done was stressful but way worth it hahahaha. Then we went to the Craigheads for dinner and they had to get stuff from the store for dinner so Wiley took us in the Limo to the store it was a ton of fun! This week was way awesome!!!
Love Elder Powell
