Baptism

Jennifer got baptized on Saturday! It was so amazing; it was such a beautiful service! SO many of the members came to show their love and support for her! She had to be baptized twice because Bishop Hynes didn't say her complete name! It was so amazing to see her get baptized, though! Sister Heninger and I did a musical number for her baptism! I sang in front of people, aaaaand it wasn't my usual whisper singing either! I actually sang! I was so nervous; I was praying that people would feel the spirit and not pay attention to how I can't sing and just feel the Spirit! They all said we did a good job and I think they were mainly listening to Sister Heninger; she has the voice of an angle:) We sang a melody thay was the music of "come thou fountain of every blessing" but we sang the lyrics to "Joseph Smith's First Prayer" and then at the end the song changed to "If you could hie to Kolob". It was really cool.

This week we mainly focused on Jennifer and making sure that she was ready and that there would be no opposition. It was funny, on Friday morning I was thinking "hey this week has gone really smoothly for Jennifer" and then we get a call during weekly planning from her sister and she was like, "Why is Jennifer getting baptized?" We explained to her why Jennifer was getting baptized and that it was her choice, that she was interviewed before hand, and that baptism was free. That seemed to calm her down but I was a bit worried that she would try and convince Jennifer to not get baptized but she didn't so it all worked out well :)
 
On Wednesday, at district study, they had a cake for me! Elder Mena made it for me and it was really good and it was gluten free so that was good. It was super sweet of the Elders to do that for me! We had some really amazing visits with Brother Holland from the stake high council with some of our less active members it was really awesome we always have really good lessons when brother Holland comes down. We did some knocking this week and we found some potentials so we are going to follow up on that this week. We did service at the Agape center at the food bank and the guy that was volunteering with us did not want to talk to us! It was so awkward we would ask him questions and he would like give us one word responses it was bad! That is all that happened this week! We had a great week:) 
 
Love Sister Gonzalez 
 
Funny moments this week: We were visiting this family and the daughter was telling us that she could read minds and it was just so funny i couldn't control myself I started laughing! I felt terrible but it was just to funny.
