Hello,
What a great weekend. Our investigator was finally baptized after more than a year of coming to church. He is a single father with two daughters, and they are all so cute. I'd send pictures if I could, but the library computers don't accept cameras. We had a good turn out for the baptism. Elder Ellsworth and I went around to some of the families in the ward, and gave them personalized invitations. It was a bit of a challenge, because we only had a typewriter. For the bottom of the invitation, we put a little hand sketched drawing of a child being baptized. It matched the type font on printer paper very well.
The service was short sweet and very powerful. A family in the ward came and they have known our W since he was in elementary school. You could see how much he has appreciated the Gospel in his life, when he thanked all the ward for supporting him. I've never had a new member of the church be so involved in the ward and be so influenced by it. We are really blessed to be in a ward that has such wonderful members.
With this new transfer we are really trying serve the members better. That can be really difficult when most people won't give you something to do. We thought about it last weekend and decided that we would go help the H's. They have some rabbits in their back yard, and we offered to help clean up their cages. It was really fun. We got to meet Olivia who is this huge rabbit. Almost 2 and a half feet long. Then they had this little chubby baby. You could fit the baby in your hand, and when he sat down it looked like a Kung-fu Panda Rabbit (chubby). I thought a little bit about raising rabbits, but then I realized that it takes a lot of time to take care of them.
This has been a great week.
Elder Will Davidson
