Hey guys!
So we had a baptism in the lake this week with Alexandre! It was kind of cold and it was very different from the font but it was good. There were a few members there as well. Alexandre was really excited for his baptism all this week and he loved his baptism last Saturday. Funny story though, it was raining pretty hard all day Saturday and it would have been not so fun to have a baptism but we decided to go ahead with it and by the time we were ready to go to the lake for the baptism the rain had stopped and by the time the baptism was over at the church it was raining again. So it's great to see small miracles from heaven. Our Heavenly Father is definitely looking out for us.
Also Elder Statie confirmed him yesterday which was awesome! This was Elder Statie's first baptism and he was really excited for it as well.
Oh I forgot to tell you guys but last week we met a referral for a guy from China named Dewei. He's really cool, he met missionaries up in Belfast but moved to Athlone for work. He loves the scriptures and learning from the missionaries but has a lot of questions about the gospel. We're hoping to see him again this Saturday or next Saturday since he works weekdays. Also last night we had ZLC and so I'm in Dublin for P-day. So I'll try and take lots of pics.
One of the messages that inspired me at conference was Elder Rasband's talk on fear. Like he said in his talk a lot of us have fear in our lives when we are faced with having to do some task but as we turn to God and focus on Him we can't fail. Last night at ZLC they showed us the Bible video of Peter walking on water and it was interesting how he didn't fear until he took his eyes off of the Saviour. It was then that he started to sink.
I love you guys! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Calley
