What up family! July 21, 2014

Sorry this email is going to be somewhat shorter. Well Stavros was baptized yesterday! It was an amazing day and I can honestly say one of the greatest days of my life. The promise in D+C really is true about bringing but one soul unto God and how great shall be your joy. His baptism was one of the most awesome things ever as well. I don't know if I have told you this yet but it's funny. When Germans say "Stavros" their accent makes it sound kind of like they say "Star Wars". Because of this at institute and stuff his nickname is "Star Wars". So  basically I can say that I baptized Star Wars on my mission:) If that is not the greatest thing you have ever heard then I don't know what is.
I seriously cannot express a lot of the feelings I have right now. It's just so awesome to have so much joy in helping someone else make covenants with God and to see the joy that they have. It really doesn't reward you with anything that the world has but it is an inner well of happiness that cannot be stopped by anything. It is glorious. I'm going to have to practice a little bit as well because he has asked me to give him the Gift of the Holy Ghost and it will  be in German:) haha I know I can do it and it wont be too hard. I trust my German but it still is a blessing in front of the whole congregation;)

We also took him with us on a Joint Teach yesterday evening and it was absolutely awesome. He was bearing testimony about the Apostasy and how he felt something tell him the Book of Mormon was true the very first time he read it. When you come back and visit with me I will definitely introduce you to him:)


Well there you have it. I'm sorry that I have to end it here but I am really out of time. . I hope you all have a great week! Love you all!

smooches,
