This felt like one of the longest weeks. And we aren't sure why. Transfers probably didn't help though, with all the newness they bring.
Speaking of which, it's been lots of fun with Elder Hulet, and we've been keeping ourselves busy. We went to the temple with our ami Matin on Friday, and that took up a lot of the day. But it was really great! It's always a good experience going to the temple, especially with him his first time.
And then the next day he was baptised! It was so cool. I'm so glad we were able to help him make this covenant with his Heavenly Father. And it's such a blessing to be here helping all these people come closer to Christ. But that's not to say it's easy! We spent a lot of time trying to make sure the baptismal service would go through, and that everything was in order. Not to mention doing everything else we have to do as missionaries! Super busy. But that's just what missionary work is, work. And it's the best work! Which is why we do it. Because we know that this work saves lives, in this world and the next.
Bonne semaine!
