Today my cousin Carolyn was baptized. She is the 2nd member from my moms side. A pioneer for sure. It was so wonderful to be here and involved. I think that the timing was right and fee blessed to have felt of this great spirit in missionary work. It feels similar to working for DI, it`s just that this is so much more personal.
Carolyn came out here from Quebec to get a break and think. She met one LDS girl and she just loved hanging out with them. She has been a faithful FHE attendee since. She started getting the sister missionaries over in May, when I got here in late June she was really invovled in her friends lives. She was interested in the gospel but afraid at the same time. She is the next generation from our family and when she retruns to Quebec she will be without family members.
She has excersized great faith and has a strong belief in the gospel. She will go home with this expereince and friends here who love her. We will anxiously help her and hope she will find support in Quebec. She is wonderful and kind. I am so thrilled to be here with her and spend time.
All the rough things that have happened this summer to me and my family have had unique experiences in and after the trial. Ryan and Tiff drove back from Utah to be here. Mom and Dad are in Quebec which it think helped a bit for her family to see it was Carolyns choice. I know we were all concerend about that in our family, espcially Mom. Our family is eternal on both sides.
