Week # 10 First Baptism..........

Elder Ferrin had his first baptism on September 14th ......

Well I have been super busy but as you can tell it payed off.... :) I found her with my comp. and taught her all the lessons and she is so excited about the gospel she is going on divisions all week with the sister missionaries!! We are going to baptize her sister, cousin this next Saturday and also we are marrying a couple and baptizing them next Saturday. All are investigators that we found and taught together!

Well for all of you out there I just want to share real quickly that this gospel is true! I know you all know it and that you don't need another missionary telling you but that is just what I am going to do! I love this gospel and especially I love the chance to share it!!! I see miracles everyday and find more every time I step out of our house! This week my most easily recognizable miracle was my first baptism. The young lady named Krystal I met my first week and we started teaching her. This last week she asked if she could be baptized a week sooner than planned and so we bumped her up a week and with a little bit of preparation she was ready, she asked if I could be the one to baptize her and so I got that wonderful blessing yesterday. I did it in Spanish and didn't even mess it up :) well any ways I know you are all busy but I want everyone to know that the joy from helping someone find the gospel is far greater than any fear we may about sharing it for fear of looking "weird" to others. You know how weird it probably looks to some people seeing a skinny white boy soaked to the bone in the rain, in slacks and shirt and tie, muddy and whistling hymns as he walks??? Trust me I get plenty of strange looks, but who cares!!!! This is so much fun. Alright I will stop preaching to the choir but please try and share the gospel if nothing else than by your actions and example.
