It sounds like yi'ns are having fun out there. Mom, I'm glad to hear that your solo went well. If only I could have heard it. Our district (6 elders) sang "When Jesus Christ was Baptized" at the baptism this past saturday. It went really well, the song and the baptism. A is awesome and ready to begin her new life.
A crazy thing happened. Part of our district is Marion VA. Two Sundays ago, a guy who is dating a member there, came to the branch and loved it. He then left for Memphis and loaded the Book of Mormon, and any and all articals he could get, onto his iPhone. Due to the fact that he was getting deported out in the Navy tomorrow, he called his girl friend and told her he wanted to meet with the missionaries before that. The amazed missionaries called the president and said "We've got a situational." He came back late Friday night and the next morning, Saturday, the elders and the district leader and his companion forewent teaching all 4 lessons in one day. Then they brought him to A's baptism, that night, where he made the final decision to get baptized. Due to the fact that the district leader helped teach him, he could not interview him, and due to the fact that this was last minute, and even late at night, the zone leaders could not get there in time. So President asked me to conduct the interview, even though I hold no leadership calling. Wow. That was nerve racking, though it went well. I got to learn from him in the interview. The interview made so much of an impact that he asked me to preform the conformation after the baptism, which was the very next day, Sunday or yesterday.
Crazy.
