Busy day, Baptisms/Confirmations etc.

I didn't have any down time today except this morning before I got out of bed. But I did get a lot done. We had our "Ma and Pa" meeting tonight. I can't believe our trek is coming up so quickly. Does anyone have a 6 man tent that we can borrow for this? We still need an extra one. Next weekend on the 2-3 we have our overnighter with just the ma's and pa's. I'm excited for it. It will be a good chance to get to know the other "parents". I'm excited for next week also b/c we are going to be set apart by the stake presidency. They were sharing some of the blessings that were given and it was pretty awesome.

Oh, I just realized that I haven't written about the baptisms. They were so sweet! The girls looked so beautiful in their white jumpers. :D Sunday was a real treat though, when they were confirmed the spirit was so abundant. I couldn't help but cry. I am so grateful that I got to be a part of their learning the gospel. My testimony has been strengthened greatly! They are such sweet girls. I pray for their continued growth in the church. In the blessing that Lia was given, she was told to really study the scriptures as well as listening, pondering and acting upon the teachings of our living prophets. Mariana's blessing talked of her finding a choice companion worthy of escorting her to the temple to continue on the path of covenant making that she has started. Corinne was teary eyed too. Dad, Corinne, Troy, Julio and obviously the girls, and Jason and I were there. Mom came to the baptism as well as about 20-30 members of the ward. It was a beautiful experience. I pray for many more in the future. Unfortunately, Lia is probably moving out this week. We will be sad to see her go. She is probably going to move in with her brother Julio. She'll be here until May 20th and go back to Brazil for the summer. She's coming back here in the fall for school. So anyway...I'm so tired I can hardly type anymore...I'll fill you in on more details of life later.
