Arthur's baptism!

With other missionaries near Elora

Hey Everybody!
Good news! Arthur was baptized yesterday! I'll attach some pics to proove it :) He was so flippin excited, it was awesome. Our branch mission leader (Jack), Arthur and our investigator Kevin all drove to church together yesterday. It was stake conference so there were a ton of people there and we didn't see them arrive. A couple of min before it started we text Jack to see if they had arrived and he said, "oh just woke up, sorry." I was like, uhhh he's kidding. He's totally kidding. he better be kidding. We asked him if he was lyin and he said, "um i wish." So we text Arthur and asked if he was able to get to church but he didn't reply! We were a hurtin' unit (as dad likes to say). But like 10 min. later he text, "jk we're sitting in the back." All 3 of them had decided to play a funny prank on us. How nice of them, eh? I thought the joke had continued when he came and found us to tell us that he had started filling the font but the people in the "scent-free" room just happened to be where the font was and it was making too much noise for them. Long story short we just turned it on really low and cranked it before the baptism started...it did get started a little late but whatever. So it was a high-stress morning. Perks of working with YSA- they're all jokers.

   Our other investigators- Kevin, he came to church and is reading/praying. Hopefully he'll continue to progress. He was able to attend Arthur's baptism :) We'll see, we're meeting him again this week. Jame dropped us- she said that she can't commit to something (so awesome) at this time in her life. I added the awesome part. So we're low in our gator pool but have been doing a lot of finding and talking to lots of strangers and have some great appts this week and potential to get some new ones! holla!

   Last pday we went to Elora with a bunch of missionaries in our zone. It was a lot of fun. It's a really old small town with a quarry and gorge. There was a small downtown with cute shops and stuff. I"ll also attach some pics of that too. We just explored the canyon and old ruins of buildings. It reminded me of our New Years adventures! 

   Yesterday was Remembrance Day here. There was some sort of parade done by the army peeps but it was during church. Everyone and their dog wears a poppy though. It's crazy! They've been wearing them all week. We even got free ones in the mail. I rocked one on my satchel.

 Hope that all goes well with football state and whatever else is kickin. Oh and the glorious Vet Day parade. It's gone down hill ever since Muddy River Cloggers and Corinne's Creative Dancers stopped stealing the show...oh and when the class of '08 graduated for Pirate Motion. But i'm sure it will still be thrilling. Have a great week!
