Wow it's been a spectacular week and I can't wait to tell you all about it! We were able to get everything done in time for Mikchael Yadckson, so he was baptized this last Saturday! In light of this, I had to choose a song by the king of pop himself, Michael Jackson, who our investigator Mikchael is named after. I chose Man in the Mirror because he really had to take a look at himself and make a change as the song says. He willingly made so many changes in his life in order to be baptized. It's amazing to see how the gospel changes people.
I'm so incredibly grateful that I was able to be a part of a baptism so early in my mission. It's has given me so much motivation for the rest of it. I honestly didn't think I would have this much desire to share what I know to be true so early in my mission, especially with the language barrier, but I just have a great amount of desire. It's hard here, but there are definitely people to be taught and to baptize. We're in an area that is on fire right now, as far as Spain goes anyways. The other elders here already have another baptism scheduled for next weekend. I never thought I'd be as into this as I am honestly. There are few things that compare to the joy that comes from an investigator progressing towards their baptismal date or setting up a baptismal interview. I've really been trying to focus on everything good that's been happening and I'm starting to really love every minute I'm here.
That's about all I got for this week, I love you all and hope you have spectacular weeks wherever you may be!
