Anthony's Baptism!

This week we spent a lot of time preparing for the baptism which was on Saturday! We also were able to teach quite a few lessons and find some new investigators! On Monday after emailing we went to a sushi buffet and I ate more than I ever had in my whole life! It was so good! We also met with Anthony to prepare him for his baptism. We met with him like 5 times this week because we wanted to make sure he was totally ready. On Wednesday I went on an exchange with Elder Elwood for the day because Elder Randall was on an exchange with Elder Kiriaka because Elder Kiriaka is in training. On our exchange we taught 3 really good lessons and got some good new people to hopefully teach as well. It was a pretty good experience too because he is almost done his mission so he had a few little tips for me as well. We have been meeting with a ton of active members too this week in hopes to strengthen them and help the ward come closer together. 

On Friday we had a bit of a scare. We got a call from Anthony's uncle telling us that he would have to cancel the lesson that night because Anthony was not there. That wouldn't have been the end of the world but we had Elder Randall coming to do the interview that has to happen before baptism. So we were afraid we were going to have to cancel the baptism. We split off again and I was with Elder Elwood and Elder Kiriaka was with Elder Randall. We went and taught a less active member and When Anthony finally got home the other elders had the lesson and interview. By the time they got out of the interview they had missed the bus and had to walk home which takes an hour. Needless to say it was an eventful and fun night! 

On Saturday we taught a really good lesson in the morning and then had no time to go home for lunch so we went to Subway where something amazing happened. We ordered our subs and one of the members of the stake presidency happened to be there and bought us our subs! I thought that only happened in Utah and Cardston! We then caught a bus over to the church to fill up the baptismal font but there was a funeral happening. So we had to wait to fill the font but it ended up filling in time. The baptism was fantastic! It went s well and so many people came to support! Anthony's primary teacher came and gave the best Holy Ghost talk I had heard in a while. he was so energetic! Anthony loved it. 

I love you all!

Elder Stewart

Elder and Sis Fawns arrived in the Winnipeg Mission at the end of January, and are assigned in Dauphin, MB. They made a day trip to the Regina Temple and got special permission from President Craig to go find Elder Stewart and his companion and take them some homemade cinnamon buns just like the ones she made for her early morning seminary class not too many years ago!
