Arnie's Baptism

Well, another transfer is going to start today. Sister Denney is getting transfered which means that some other blessed sister will get to come to the best area!!! I really do love Dana Point. It is beautiful, nice and breezy, usually under 90 degrees, and the people are great! This was a great week. Arnie got baptized and it was incredible. There were a ton of people there and not a dry eye. Arnie's been waiting almost 2 years for this so he was more than ready for it and the spirit was there to confirm to him that he really did make the right decision. It was the most spiritual baptism I've ever seen. When he came up out of the water he had the biggest smile on his face and tears running down his cheeks. His sister Mitzi even got teary eyed and his uncle Gustavo asked us to start teaching him!! So many people are going to hear the gospel because of Arnie! His confirmation was powerful too and his priesthood ordination. This is what it is all about! It is crazy because immediately after he recieved the Holy Ghost I could tell a difference like he didn't need us really anymore like before. I don't know how to explain it but I know he will be ok on his own now because he's a part of a great ward who love him. Of course we'll still be around for him especially because things with Mitzi are going so well! Mizti is a lot of fun and we're becoming great friends. I'm sad Sister Denney is leaving but I'm starting to love change on my mission- it comes when it is needed and I am excited to dig my feet in and get to work in this area. There is a ton more that could be done and I can't wait to start. I am doing well besides being a little freaked out that my half way mark passed this week (sister Denney informed me). Well, I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and pray for time to slow down. I love you all so much. I hope starting school this week goes really well. Be smart and don't forget that I love you all lots and lots. Thanks for everything,
Love, Sister London
