  WHAT A WEEK! My heart is very full.  I really cannot say the smallest part that I feel! Our Bethany It was a beautiful beautiful week. Our Bethany entered the waters of baptism this Sunday! And despite all the efforts of the adversary, that manifested as very cold water tehe, she took it like a champ and was baptized. I love that girl. The whole branch pulled up which fills my soul. It was a HAPPY DAY! Seeing everyone hug her at the end made me smile so big. And seeing one of our dear elderly sisters poke a friend of ours who came and say "you're next!" with the most sincere mischievous giggle... I love this branch. President also flew down in his helicopter to come, we felt like the coolest cats in town. The work I am growing a lot out here. Learning a lot. Missionary work is harder than I thought, and so much more deep and lovely and complex than I expected. I truly love it is the truth! The hard parts make us grow- that simple truth has been my world these last five ...
