transfer 9: week 6; Extended Zone -- OA

Hello!

I went to my first baptism today... for President Holmes' granddaughter, Haylee. All she wanted at her baptism was to have missionaries there (because she wants to be a sister Missionary when she grows up) so, he had us go to the baptism. It was interesting because here in Utah they baptize all of the children at once. While I thought that it would be cute little Haylee, it turned out to be cute little Haylee and 20 other 8 year-olds. Needless to say I was slightly in culture shock, in Florida we have only one person per baptism, and I was half expecting the little kid to re-enact the early English converts and have a foot race to the font (I'm pretty sure that this one little girl with curly hair would have won... she bolted for the font as soon as her name was called and was in before her father even had time to get though the door, but she was so cute.)

Missionary work is going strongly, albeit for some reason the entire square has exploded with people... it reminds me of Disney World on Labor Day weekend. It's hard to get anywhere because there are people everywhere. Sister Au-Yeung and I have taken to talking people to the conference center because that is the only place you can be in without seeing millions of people everywhere. (it is really hard to get people to feel the spirit when there are loads of people everywhere) But we've had some fun miracles with old couples and Chinese students... so many more people who can feel the spirit that is here, and the love that God has for each and every one of us.

Have a great day!
