Elder Edholm -- week 67

This week went really well. The baptism of Daniel happened yesterday and it was really awesome. The bishop was able to baptize him and I was able to do the confirmation. There were a lot of members there to support him too. We have a limit of only 20 people can be at a baptism because of Covid rules, and we had about 18-19 people there. He was able to get a white button up shirt a couple of ties, and a bike too from some members. We also had Emma come to church today. She was able to watch general conference and we did a tour of the church through a video call, but this was her first time inside of the chapel. She has really liked hearing from us and she said that she wants to get baptized this Sunday. So we are probably going to have the baptismal service in the early afternoon like we did with Daniel. Emma's mom also really likes learning from us, but she wants more time to feel like she's doing the right thing before moving forward, which is completely acceptable. We are also teaching a guy named Arnaldo, and his baptism should be either this weekend or the next. So we have been really busy lately, which is super good.

Something that I learned this week in my personal study. 1 John 4:19, "We love him, because he first loved us". I just really liked this scripture. I hope we can all be a little more caring for each other, myself included. That's all for this week!
