Hello everyone! I hope you all had a good week!
This week we picked up a new investigator named Deluce (De-loo-say). She is 19 years old, her father is a pastor for the Seventh Day Adventist church, and she wants to be baptized! She is super solid and sincere, has a lot of questions, but loves the gospel.
This last Saturday the Sisters in our ward, Sister Bradley and Sister Call had a baptism. Her name is Tiffany and I had the opportunity of conducting her baptismal interview. She pretty much was already a member before. She has been coming to church and all of the activities since June. Also during convert baptisms missionaries usually share a spiritual thought while they are getting changed. So I had the opportunity to do so as well. The spirit was so strong! That entire baptism was so amazing and only strengthened my testimony even more. I showed the Christmas video then tied it in with the restoration. It was on point.
Well I have to go now but I am so grateful to be able to serve a mission here in Carlsbad. I am grateful for the gospel and to have a prophet to lead and guide us today. I am grateful for Joseph Smith and his courage to go through everything that he did. I know that this is the true church, and the constant spirit that is felt by being a member of it.
I am grateful for you all and wish you the best of luck. Talk to you all next week.
Love always,
Elder Miles
