Another Baptism - Mission life is the best!

So we had just about the sickest week. We went on an awesome hike with our zone to start it off on P-day. It's amazing. Even out here in the middle of nowhere where all there is is dirt and cacti for miles, the view was still so beautiful. ... But then we came back to find a couple hundred dollar ticket on our truck. Apparently we were supposed to pay to get in. We got that all settled out though. But it freaked us out when we first saw it. Especially since I was driving.

Other than that, we had a pretty normal week. Besides the fact that we had another baptism! It was such an awesome experience. The dad has been a less active member for pretty much his whole life. We started teaching the kids though. We've been working with them for forever. A couple weeks ago, the dad decided to turn his life around because he saw his kids reading so they could be prepared when we came over. He saw them super interested and it motivated him because he wants them to have the best life they can get.

It was probably one of the coolest experiences ever to work with them and watch them change. He invites us over all the time now. We go and play football with the kids while he's out on the grill. It was the greatest thing ever to be able to hang out with them after the baptism. The sun was setting, the weather was perfect, everyone was happy and we were having a bunch of fun. There's nothing greater than that. Mission life is the best!
