AS FOR TRANSFER DOCTRINE. I am staying here in Davis with my good friend Sister Funlinson. SHE IS AWESOME. annnndddd... Drum roll please....

WOW SIX MONTHS AND STL AND BAPTISMS!

I am a SISTER TRAINING LEADER. WUT!? So crazy. So here are the deets.... Jk I don't have any. I don't know what exactly it is I do. I do definitely conduct exchanges during the transfer which is sweet! And I get to go to MLC which is the monthly Missionary Leadership Conference. I am stoked!! It's gonna be fun. I am excited to have the opportunity to be a leader and to have an experience to grow!

The baptism went AMAZING. Jacob was super happy and he loves having the gift of the Holy Ghost. Wow. It's been amazing.

This week was insanely busy and we were able to overcome Satan's temptations through Gods help.

Jacob loved the baptism. He was pretty nervous. You could tell, but he did it! He got baptized! When it was over, I asked him how he felt, and he said, "As soon as my foot hit the water...." and he got really quiet.. I asked him, "Did you feel the spirit?" and he said. "Like REALLY strong!" It was amazing to see him truly change for the better. He quit smoking 15 days before his baptism. The requirement for baptism is you have to stop smoking 2 weeks before your baptism. So he made it! It was pretty nerve wreaking knowing that if he smokes he wont be able to be baptized, but we knew that he could do it! 

Yesterday, in church when he received the Gift of the Holy Ghost, he was so giddy. It was so funny! I spoke in church yesterday, and I had a direct view of him from the stand, and he was giggling the whole time. It was so funny. He said it was like his baptism only 10x more. He was really feeling the spirit very strongly. He loved it. He said, "If the spirit is that strong all the time... how do you guys get anything done?!!? I can't focus!" haha. He is so funny. He was in the Navy for about 5 years and he has CRAZY stories. Its so fun to talk to him about his life, and experiences. Its so cool to see him change his life, to follow Jesus Christ. He never thought that he would have been getting baptized into this church, but he knows its true! 

It was such an amazing/exhausting experience to see him decide to change. When he got baptized, I had this overwhelming sense of joy. The kind of joy described in D&C 18:15-16. I knew that I had been a tool in God's hand in this process. I know that God's hand IS in this work and that I am just a small part of it. I am grateful for the chance that I have to see people grow and change. I love seeing the gospel shape people's lives. Its the best. I know that God truly is watching over each one of us and that He is so happy with the Decision Jacob made this week. I know that by being baptized Jacob entered in the gate to make it back to God. I know without a doubt that God was happy with the decision that Jacob made. 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is SOOOO true! 

Love you all! Have a wonderful week!!!
