Week 70: The snow went down, and the sun came up!‏

Well, the temperature is finally rising... and so are the miracles!

Tristan got baptized! It was awesome! We were pretty nervous on Saturday because the baptism was supposed to start at 4 and it was 4:10 before the family showed up! (They were just late getting a TON of food for the reception after the baptism. We got loaded with quite a few leftovers afterwards too!) It was cool to see Tristan bear his testimony on prayer at the end. He said, “my favorite part about prayer is that every time I finish doing it, I am always smiling." How often are we smiling after conversing with out Creator and Father who loves us infinitely, so much that he takes out the few precious minutes to listen intently to our prayer, and then spends the rest of His time helping us see the answer? So much to learn packed in that 9 year old boy's simple yet powerful testimony. :)
Tristan's Baptism!!!
Well, last week at church, our fearless missionary meal coordinator (I'm estimating at around 70 years old) got up in fast and testimony meeting and lovingly rebuked the congregation for our empty dinner calendar (don't worry, we actually get fed really well in this ward!). Well, our investigator Randy who came to church for the first time heard this, what did he do? Invited us over to dinner! And at the dinner, he invited one if his friends! During the dinner, we had a wonderful lesson! And then they both came to church this Sunday! And they came to Tristan's baptism! And now Randy wants to get baptized on April 3rd! :D Soo... I love dinner appointments, haha.
