The General Epistle of Samuel (Jo got baptised!)

Well the most exciting thing of the week was the baptism of Jo. It went incredibly well and I wasn't stressed about much of any of the happenings. All the speakers were there on time, the font was filled on time and warm, and most importantly Jo showed up! Elder Tina'o performed the ordinance and the spirit was very strong. Her husband Ian spoke on the Holy Ghost and bore the sweetest testimony to his wife. Once she was baptised and they were changing I went and spoke with Ian because he was crying out of sheer joy. We hugged each other and shared a tender moment and talked about their sealing in a year from now. The spirit was so special. Even Jo's 16 year old son felt it (even though he didn't want to admit it ;) ). One of the best baptismal services.

Now we really need to get to work. We have a goal to find someone and baptise them in the month of February. We have a big task ahead of us so it is going to take some work. Elder Tina'o and I are really enjoying serving together. Our district leader made a deal with Elder T that if he can be exactly obedient for the rest of the transfer he'll take him out to his favourite restaurant and buy him as much as he can eat. Needless to say we have been very blessed for our obedience the past few days lol. 

It is working. It is making a change in him and he is recognising the blessings that come from it. Thank you all for your love and support. I pray that you are all doing well!

Love,

Elder Dalton
