Olá Familia!!!
What a crazy week it has been! Between doctors appointments, a baptism, and lots of fires I was pooped yesterday! But it has been joyful.
We fasted and prayed this week to ask God to help Maria Elisabete´s brother let her be baptized. In the end it all worked out and on Saturday she entered the waters! It was super special but.... she is super afraid of water! As she got in she just kept saying she was scared and as she was dunked she freaked out and we saw her squirming around in the water. I panicked and yelled out, "someone help her!!!" but in the end it was all good haha. She said it was kind of scary but that she liked it. The service was short and simple. Then on Sunday she was confirmed and her blessing was very sweet. It was such a privilege to get to know her and see her child like submissiveness to the gospel.
We had to go to the hospital because Sister Johnson had to get some tests done. Now we have a good friend there that never makes us wait in line or anything.
We have also been trying to help Miriam understand that only this church has authority. She still doesn´t have a testimony of this but she loves coming to church with us. She came to Maria Elisabete´s baptism too!
Yesterday night it got foggy looking in the sky. We woke up this morning and our house smelled like a campfire then we looked outside and the skies are gray and it´s raining ashes! There are a ton of fires here! We are all safe but we got some masks to wear around and Presidente said not to leave the house too much today. Our ward is putting supplies together for the firefighters so we are probs going to go and help with that.
Well, I hope Caleb can grow taller to ride on some rides and I hope you all have lots of fun at Lagoon this weekend. I was reading 2nd Nephi 9 this week and was trying to understand more about opposition in all things. I love that chapter and it truly strengthened my testimony of our Savior.
Love you guys!
Love,
Sister Emma Hulsey
