Freaking Miracles

From Joram's 1/20 email:

This week, in short was just miracles. I have had this feeling that since I got here that obviously there was something i left unaccomplished, some piece of the puzzle. Well i baptized that piece on Sunday. I don't know if you remember Bernardo and Jacklyn, well they had been doing awesome and everything and are excited to go to the temple in a year, but I had wanted to baptize their son that is 20 so we could seal their entire family together, so I hadn't even seen them for more than 10 minutes but then we saw them in church and i had talked with him a bit and he told me he didn't want to be forced and he wanted to make the decision of baptism for himself, so i dropped it and trusted that God would take of it. Well on sunday during sunday school he motioned to me and i was just figuring he had a question or something so i went in to the hall with him and he said he wanted to be baptized right then. I almost died and i felt the spirit just explode inside and was amazingly happy and so we did it. We baptized him and in a year from Sunday I will get to go to the temple and see them get sealed as a family. Miracles, freaking Miracles. So yeah i am exstatic and so excited. Well I cant remember anything else that happened this week my brain is so not here with me. We have been pretty much exclusively working with the members and we got a ton of people to church and they drag friends so we have some awesome member referals. So yeah thats pretty much all that is happening.

I have been way excited to get here and to see some of the old members and to see how everyone is doing. The ward is actually growing for the first time ever so that is amazing.

My ankles are doing fine, they just swell up and ache after everyday but oh well.

I am so happy to hear that Joanna got baptized, thanks for going, i know it might not be the first thing on your list to do for saturday, but nothing is more important than support at a baptism. Its something i wish we had more down here, but i am sure it was awesome and she appreciated it.

Love you tons and hope to hear from you soon.
