Baptisms are Awesome !!

hi family, hi mom and dad,

guess what? we get to watch conference this weekend! cool, huh? but we are super excited, i can't believe it has already been six months since the last time i saw conference. dang time goes by fast. we are also having a baptism this weekend, so it is has been an awesome week. Anita and ain are getting baptized. the craziest story of how we met them. they knew elders a long time ago, maybe more than a year. but they saw some elders riding their bikes and yelled out to them, the elders stopped and got there number, and gave it to us. then like a week later, like an hour before church, i was calling people, trying to get people to come, and i just called them and told them about church, and Anita showed up with four kids in tow. so freaking awesome. since then she has come every week, and is super strong. she is from Indonesia, just like Ady, who got baptized last month, and Dorina, who got baptized in August. and not only are they all Indonesian, they are are they same dialect of Indonesian. sweet. they are starting a little Indonesian club. yesterday i met another Indonesian from the same place as them, so we'll try to get him converted too. and they are all super strong together, it is really cool to see. so baptism, conference, and next week we are going to Sibu for mission conference. crazy, i feel like I'm traveling as much as you guys are! it will be really cool to be back in Sibu, i haven't been there since January. Dang.

yesterday we saw these people we are teaching, Reni and Tedong, and Tedong, the dad, said some pretty cool things. first, i was asking him what faith means, and in effect, he said it is when we want to do good and don't want to do bad anymore. what a good answer. sure faith is when we believe, but is when we believe enough to follow, to change our lives. he is cool. we were asking them about baptism, and he said the only thing he is afraid of is starting to follow something, and then later not being able to follow it. so cool huh? usually people don't even think it through that far. so if he was to get baptized, he knows he is in it for good, that it is a real change in his life. we are excited for him. hopefully in a few weeks i will be telling you that they are getting baptized!

but i love you family, have a good week,

sister Harrison
