We have had a pretty crazy and amazing week. We had zone conference for 7 hours in the Trophy Club building so that was really nice to see old friends. I was able to go on an exchange with the district leader and the weather has been pretty nice. We got baptismal clothing on Thursday for our investigator and his son who was going to baptize him. When we showed up at their house everyone seemed really frantic and they said they were having a little family emergency. Turns out that the IRS were on their way to arrest them and take all of their assets. That was the short version of the story and this is two days before the baptism. So we did the only thing we could and prayed. Turns out that it was all a scam and it was just people from India trying to get money from them. It's crazy how hard Satan will work though to try and mess things up. Saturday they took us out to lunch before his baptism and someone asked him how his day was going so far and his response was it's the greatest day of my life. That's something I hope to never forget. We were able to get previous missionaries who taught him to come back so it was a really cool experience. His really good friend flew all the way from Vegas to confirm him and give him the Holy Ghost. It is so cool to see how much he has changed and how God's timing plays such a big role in everything. He was being taught for about 5 years with a whole bunch of different missionaries and I was blessed to be able to be here at the time when he was prepared and ready to accept the gospel. I’ve made lifelong friends with this family and can't wait to come back when they get sealed in the Temple.
