[Last Weeks]
This week Nazi got Baptized!! We spent like the whole week running around trying to get everything done. She is an awesome lady for sure.
Her baptism was on a Thursday. She was super happy and grateful for all of the people waiting while she changed it was super funny. But besides the baptism there isn't anything to update on.
[This Week]
So this week we had the Kohut's baptism. They are a great family. We also had transfers and Elder Leavitt and I stayed together. We had to find five different sizes of jumpsuits that took a long time.
At the baptism the father decided to wait to be baptized. He has really started taking the discussion and he was the happiest of the entire family.
On Sunday it took a little to get them all confirmed but it did take a little but of time. 😂
Later that night there was a cool fireside with music and conversion stories for President Galorath and an Elder. It was a really good week. See you all soon!
Here is Elder Leavitt's letter home (he gives a little more detail than Zach):
Hello beautiful people that I love!
This week was a splendid one! Very busy indeed! But I'll stick to the highlights. So on Saturday the Kohut family was Baptized! What a miracle that Amelia, the oldest daughter, suggested they all come to church. What a miracle that they all wanted to come as a family! What a blessing that Borys, the dad, who is a strong Greek Orthodox Christian allowed, and supported them in the decision to be Baptized! What a blessing that the Ward has brought them in and befriended them like none other! And yes, what a miracle that we could find jumpsuits for all 5 of them! Everything went very well the day of and they were all happy and excited, but it seemed that Borys was the most excited! Brother VanSlooten Baptized them all. Lena (mom) sent us a text on Friday that said:
"Ha! I just asked Christian if he is excited for tomorrow. He said, "yes! But we aren't done after that! We still need them to put their hands on our heads". So sweet & true" That is so true! On Sunday Brother Weatherford confirmed Lena, Brither VanSlooten Confirmed Amelia, Brother Devor Confirmed Roman, Bishop Green Confirmed Annelise, and Elder Cox confirmed Christian! What a beautiful thing the Priesthood is. I'm so lucky to be here right now!
I'm out of time, but that was what is important! Oh and Nazi is going to the temple to do baptisms for the dead this week! Have a great week, may your hammer be mighty! Go love someone who needs it!
Love Elder Leavitt
