Heatin' Up!

Heatin' UP!

Well Arizona is getting hotter. We got switched to all bike last week so that is going to make the summer a little more painful. I'm not sure how I like the idea of biking around all day in 110 degree weather. But I guess that will make me enjoy the cooler season - right? I guess we'll see....

This week was good though. We had a few people get baptized, which is always exciting, and we have a couple more working towards it. Dominique and Amelia got baptized on Saturday, and that was a little stressful. Dominique is pretty much deathly afraid of attention so we had to make sure that almost no one showed up. So there were 11 or 12 people there and she still was soooo scared, she almost didn't want to do it. Then the font didn't get near full enough, it might have barely reached her knees, but for some reason we decided to go ahead and try it....it didnt work. after the second try she decided she couldn't do it, so she walked out and me and Elder Hartung were freaking out!!! So we turned the water back on, waited for about 45 minutes or an hour, then baptized Amelia in front of everyone. Then we closed the doors to the font, me and elder Hartung went around to the back to witness and baptize Dominique with the doors shut so she didn't have to worry about everyone watching her. So everything worked out and they got confirmed on Sunday. Sunday evening we had a baptism for Adrian, and we made sure to fill up the font all the way....no mistakes this time. Its a good thing we did too, cause his foot almost came up out of the water, but it stayed under just long enough. So that went well. They are all really good people and will make solid members, so I'm excited to see them keep progressing. 

Well I hope things are going well at home.

Take care and God bless,

Elder Hiatt
