Baptisms!

Saturday, our young men and young women went to the temple to participate in baptisms for the dead. It was absolutely amazing!! I love the youth in our branch so much. The spirit was so strong! We have a small youth group, 6 young women and 3 young men. 3 young women went, as well as 1 young man. I also invited a cute young woman from another ward to attend with us. I was really touched with the reverence the youth had toward the temle.

There were many firsts for me that day - first time in the Jordan River Temple, first time in Spanish, first time since being endowed, first time with my husband, first time as a missionary, first time as YW president... the list could go on and on I am sure!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be serving a mission. I love the members of our branch with all my heart. I absolutely love the spirit that I feel there, as well as the sense of family I have. I feel like Heavenly Father has truly given me the opportunity to learn and to grow. My heart is so full. I wish I could share in words what my heart feels. I hope some day everyone I know has the opportunity to love as deeply as I am learning to. It is absolutely changing my life.
