Baptism!
Teresa was baptized!!!!!!!
On Saturday, though, not Friday. The schedule changed. Also, I think the fact that there's very few baptisms makes it so that no one really knows how it looks and what to do when it happens, and it's always a little funny because I haven't seen a baptism where something doesn't go a little off, like the person has to the shove the person down because their elbow will just not go under the water. Heh...
Sometimes the feeling of underwhelment is so strange. Like, baptisms are so rare, that they should be a thing to be celebrated SO MUCH by us, but for some reason (and I've asked a lot of missionaries about it) there's always this feeling of "huh..." afterwards, like it was just a normal thing. I think it's because the entire process before is the thing that makes conversion special. Like, conversion is a process, not just a one time thing that happens when you're baptized. The amazing thing of Teresa's story was not that she was baptized (that's a pretty fantastic part), but that in the months preceding her baptism she changed her lifestyle and started becoming an even more devoted disciple of Christ.
I never really hear much about your conversion. Sometimes I forget that you weren't born a Mormon! You should tell me more about it! Tell me a nice story, or some challenge you had to overcome
