Cleaning out the baptismal font is a labor of love

We had a nother really hot but really good week.  We had a baptism this last Saturday!  First we had to clean our baptismal font which is actually just a pool.  It was pretty filthy and took us a lot of hours to do but it was worth it.  The guy we baptized has been coming to church for quite some time now and his wife is a member.  Not until these last couple of weeks has he made serious changes in his life.  We invited him to be baptized and he accepted it.  The day of his baptism he was so happy and looked like a different person.  His wife was extremley happy too.  Its cool to see how this gospel changes peoples lives.  He was a man who drank a lot and wasnt very happy.  Now he is preparing to go to the temple and one day will be able to baptize his son.  I know this gospel is true and that this church is true.  We have all the knowledge that we need to be able to return to live with our heavenly father and our families forever.  
 
We have one more week before transfers.  Im pretty sure we will both stay here but you never know what is going to happen.  Thanks for all the support and love.
