It has been an amazing week!! First off Mom, thanks for the package, I got it pretty fast. And I'm glad you got the new computer and email to work, we are able to email today because the computers at our apartment complex are open and that's where we go every week anyways.
Now for the exciting things, haha. Kristin was baptized on Saturday!! So on Thursday we met with her and she had a lot of questions from the anti-Mormon class, but we answered them all pretty easy and cleared up some things. She mentioned she regretted cancelling her baptism last week but she was just trying to make her Dad happy. She had not made any decisions though so we just keep praying and hoping she would come through sometime. Well, Friday night we were going about our business and had a lesson with someone else when we got a ton of calls and txts from her and Sis McArthur (the family we always go to for lessons with she because Sis McArthur is her personal trainer and fellowshipper) and she said she wanted to be baptized on Saturday. We were shocked but so excited and got the whole baptism set up in less than 12 hours. So Saturday noon was her baptism. There weren't very many people there because of the short notice but the Spirit was so strong as Elder Pennington baptized her. She didn't tell her Dad about it yet because he would have kept her from leaving the house but she knew it was the right thing to do and she's so excited that she went through with it. We were so grateful for everything that happened and for the Lord answering our prayers. We also have another baptism set up for next Saturday from the singles ward, although we lose the singles ward today in the transfers, but we get to count it since we taught her. Talking about transfers, I am staying her in this area and getting Elder Naranjo and Pennington is going to the Lakes stake. I'm going to miss him because we had so much fun together and were like brothers, but I'm excited to have a change and get to work to find more people. I came out with Elder Naranjo from the MTC but I don't know much about him other than he's Spanish speaking, so I'm going to have him teach me Spanish. haha! Other than that everything is going well and I'm glad things at home are good too. Thanks again for everything you guys do for me. I wouldn't be here without you. I loved the story about Charlie and can't wait for more pictures. I love you all. Elder Smith
