Kasalehhhhhlie!
What a GOOD week in the mission field!
Soooooo first off! Another Baptism CHECK.And I swear Satan was doing all he could to stop this one! Okayyy so on Friday we went with the Elders to do a baptismal interview with AJ and Jay Max! We get there and the mom tells us that Jay Max went off island for the weekend with his friends like WHAT. Who the heck forgets about his own baptism right?? So AJ comes out and is bawling! He was SO nervous to do an interview! Sooooooo we calmed him down, he did the interview, PASSED. And things were looking good for Saturday! So Saturday comes. NO power. Which means no water in the font which is like a really big problem. Annnnnnd then we can't find the baptismal clothes! And when we do find them we find out that the members had put them in the closet WET. Soooo they're all moldy! SO we hauuuuul down to town to get clothes for AJ and the other sisters were there at the same time returning baptismal clothes to the senior couple and they had two outfits for two little boys!!! So with lots of faith. We take both!! Just praying that somehow the water would turn on and Jay Max would return! Soooo we then HAUL back to our area and BLESS UP the power is on! And the font is working!!! And then we went to see AJ, had a little lesson with him and were rushing to the chapel to get everything set up when who do we see running on the road. JAY MAX. He was rushing home because he remembered his baptism! How stinking cute is that? So the elders hurry on over to do a baptismal interview and things were looking bright!!! (It's 6:30 and the baptism was supposed to start at 6 HHAHAHA) AND THEN our car gets stuck in the mud! (I have no idea how this baptism happened) And we are trying for about 30 minutes to get it out with NO luck and Elder Yardley (he's been here for like 3 weeks) goes "let's say a prayer" Sooooo we pray and just like thatttttt the car comes out! It was a miracle!!! The baptism went smoothly and wahooooo Aj and Jay Max were baptized!
Ohhhhhhh and here's a funny story. A little family of frogs made their way through the pipes and into our toilet last night. You should have heard the scream that came from the bathroom when Sister Leslie walked in HAHAHHA. OH gosh I love Pohnpei.
ALSO. I got my eyeballs cleaned by a member with "local leaves" HAHHA I don't know what happened to me but boy are my eyeballs clean! HAHHAH
Weirdest week. hahahah but boy am I HAPPY. Being a missionary is the besssttttt!
