Hey Family,
I totally forgot to tell you that this week is transfer week so P-day is on Monday... sorry about that haha! I'm not getting transferred though, Elder Worley and I are staying together and I'm pumped about it.
This week was sweet! Phil and Nicole were able to be baptized which was awesome! We did the confirmation right after the baptism because this week was a regional conference for us so we couldn't do it on Sunday. We had to get permission from President Miller to do that though and he said the only way we could do it is if we got a lot of people to come to the baptism. So we were a little worried leading up to the baptism cause we were afraid that not a lot of people would show up, but Nay. There ended up being around 80 people at the baptism! It was so sweet to see so many people there. That was the most I have ever seen at a baptism and it's probably the most I will ever see, but it was cool to see how much the ward supports the converts in the ward and the missionaries! We talked with Nicole after the baptism and she said that she was so happy and relieved that she was finally baptized and she said she felt amazing and knew the church was true! It was sweet! Also, last week I emailed Avram, my recent convert from Cherry Hills, and told him that Phil was a paramedic and asked if he knew him, and then later into the week we got a call from a random number and it ended up being Avram! He said that he saw my email and he does know both Phil and Nicole and he was wondering when and where the baptism was, so we told him and he ended up coming too! It was awesome to get to see him and catch up with him!
Anyways, The Church is true! I am so happy to be serving a mission! I love and miss you all and hope everything is going well! Talk to you next week!
Love Elder Summerhays
