| ...that ye might know the gate by which ye should enter. For the gate by which ye should enter is repentance and baptism by water; and then cometh a remission of your sins by fire and by the Holy Ghost. And then are ye in this strait and narrow path which leads to eternal life; yea, ye have entered in by the gate; ye have done according to the commandments of the Father and the Son; and ye have received the Holy Ghost, which witnesses of the Father and the Son, unto the fulfilling of the promise which he hath made, that if ye entered in by the way ye should receive." -2 Nephi 31:17-18- |
I, Sister Roe, hereby testify that the title of this entry is true. There is no greater happiness (or squeals) than when you are hugging the newest baptised member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints while she's still wearing a 3x's too big for her wet jumpsuit. For being a lawer i have never seen her smile so big and squeal so much! It really is hard to put words to feelings when you watch your investigator enter the waters of baptism, and coming out with....oh gosh im really at a loss of words! Just take a look at some pictures...

| Interesting story about Andre and Ira. They are very close friends, and one day Andre invited Ira to English and that's when they began to hear out spiritual thoughts and began to take the missionary discussions. For the longest time we thought they were dating only to find out they were not, BUT just last week Ira had to cancel a lesson because Andre suprised her with tickets to a concert and we happily obliged! Is that celestial wedding bells i hear? I couldn't help but laugh as i made the baptisimal programs and how they ressembaled a wedding invitation. I mean, come on now, how cute of a story would that be?! |

| Ira as she was watching Andre enter the waters |
 |
| And as requested i brought brownies, if anything i got more complaints than compliments that did not bring more! |

| Our ward mission leaders son waiting to watch the font drain |

| Ira would kill me if she knew this was up but i couldn't help myself |
 |
| Sister Parish is being transfered down to Odessa and combined that this next transfer is our last we discovered that this would be the last time seeing each other on the mission! And of course that called for a photoshoot |
In the the moment the week just felt like sand slipping through my fingers in all the craziness, but looking back it feels like an eternity! I can't believe that it was just last Monday that the Sisters took us out on a, literally BLIND date, and suprised us with lunch! They found the FRIENDS cafe!

| If you think missions are hard try eating this hamburger. |
It also feels like an eternity ago that Sister Roberston and I went out to celebrate an early 4 month anniversary by treating ourselves to an hot chocolate ice cream sundae. We had a little time on our hands while we waited...
And last but not least this week we got TRANSFO. You ready for it? Good, because im not and somebody needs to be. With Sister Robertson leaving to Argentina in 2 days there is no other solution than a new companion! I will be companions with Sister Litvinova, not a classic American name right? That's because she's Ukrainian! President Packer and the Lord have decided that they are ready for some laughs i guess and you can bet that they are going to get some!
Have a fantastic week!
XOXOXOXO
