Blessings of Baptism

This week was pretty successful. We came close to most of our goals, but I know we can still do better and continue to set higher goals as we achieve the ones we set. 

 We had the great blessing of witnessing the baptism of our wonderful investigator, Donnaleiz. She is the newest member of the San Fernando ward, and I see great things for her and the ward in the near future. She is very creative and will surely become involved in the 2015 Celebration for the anniversary of the mission opening here in the West Indies, as well as any other part of the ward she is able to. She feels very good having her sins washed away and being confirmed and blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

 We also had a great trade-off this week with Sister Edmonds and Sister Jex. I know that I learned a lot, and with the help of Sister Edmonds, we were able to find a few new families to teach. I hope we get to continue meeting with them and that they will progress. We also had the opportunity this Sunday to meet a referral we received from a member of our ward. He met her at the store she works in and was able to bring up the church with her. He discovered that she is currently searching for a church and for truth so that she can raise her 2 year old son with a knowledge of God. I know that she was an answer to our prayers just as we were an answer to hers. This gospel is what she is looking for that will bless her life as well as the life of her son, and I am so grateful to have the opportunity to teach her. 

 We are starting to get curious about what will happen next transfer. We know that 6 sisters are coming, 5 English and 1 French speaking. So, there will be some shuffling going on. Sister Herrick and I hope to stay together, but we are unsure whether we will. I will just have to wait and see what the Lord has in store for us! I love you and hope all is going well back home! 

 Love Sister Bratt
