Hey everyone!
It's always hard to remember things that happen throughout the week as I sit down and try to write this email haha so bear with me
Not too much happened this week! We've just been busy teaching and finding! We have quite a few friends that we've been working with so it's been good to have some success, especially through social media. Lots of the members still dont think we really do anything since we dont go outside much, even though it's been a year since lockdown started (wowwww time flies), but it's been quite the opposite!
This last saturday we drove up to a town just north of Manchester, Bolton (Elder Maruhi's old area), because some old friends he taught were getting baptized! And they mainly speak french, so he went to baptize and confirm them in french. So we got to go on a little roadtrip, got to see Manchester's skyline and on the way back we stopped and got some 5 guys because Elder Maruhi had never been!
But the baptismal service was honestly the craziest I've ever been to haha, it just went completely against all the plans the elders had set. The baptism was scheduled to start at 3 but the people to be baptized didnt even show up at the chapel until like 3:20. And then they had to get changed which was another 30 minute fiasco. The rest of the baptismal service went alright except they had me play piano cause turns out that nobody else was really able to play from the hymn book there. But after they were baptized, they spent at least 30 minutes getting changed, which turned the service which was supposed to be 30-40 minutes, into like 2 hours. It was pretty stressful, especially for the elders in the area, but it was still so cool to see them be baptized, especially in a different language! The Spirit was definitely there.
Thats basically all the highlights in one day though haha, 5 guys and a baptism.
