The two things I liked this week were conference and a baptism we had. I really liked conference and every thing they taught us. I never really knew how much I could like conference since I didn't really like it back home until I almost came out. If you just take your time and really listen to what every single person is saying, no matter who they are, then you can find knowledge and wisdom in every talk. You can get so many questions answered if you just really want an answer and search for it. General conference helped with a lot of things.
Jay's baptism was really good too. We have grown really close to Jay over the time we have been teaching him and he has progressed really fast. He was afraid to get baptized because he didn't really know what to expect. We tried walking him through what happens but he was still scared because he had never seen one done before. The reason I loved this baptism was because after he was baptized he was the happiest person on earth. It made me so happy to see him happy and how much blessings and joy come from this gospel. When taking the right steps and becoming more Christ like you truly do feel amazing. I loved seeing how much he progressed and the steps he took to get there. He had recently had a surgery so he couldn't move around a lot or lift much of anything, but he took the steps he needed to, to get baptized. The happiness that comes from taking these steps and truly living righteously is amazing and that is mostly the reason I came out. I want to share this joy I felt when trying to do my best and getting as much as I could from the church and to see that that had happened made me so happy. I want to serve the Lord and do this for him but bringing happiness to others and seeing it in there lives doesn't hurt either. Everything is going really good in our area and we are trying to work harder and harder everyday.
I'll send some pics of us and Jay bird. He is such a stud. Try to pick something they told us to do in general conference and keep the commitment. Like ponderizing.
Love you all!
Love Elder Lange
