From 11/18/13
The baptism went great!!
She asked that I baptize her so I did, of course. And then Elder Peterson confirmed her.
It was great!!
Everything went really good and man that is why I am serving a mission to see that happiness and joy that the gospel truly brings.
I don't think I have ever seen that before, but man, now I know what people mean when they say it brings happiness and joy into lives because - holy cow - she was SOOOOOO happy and excited. I loved being a part of that!! After she was baptized she just held her face and cried because she was so happy it was an incredible experience!!!!
Update 11/25/13
The new member is doing great. We saw her on Wednesday and we were all, how are you doing?? And she then responded "shining!!" and she seriously is.I never have really seen what people mean when they say people get a new light about them but she seriously has it. It is incredible. There is just an extremely strong spirit in the room wherever she is. So she is doing great!!
Just a quick note for anyone sending anything to Jeff for Christmas - please send it to the MISSION OFFICE. He his scheduled to transfer the week before Christmas and is 98% sure he will be leaving Madison - so don't send anything to the Madison address.
