Brüder's Jäggi's Baptism

Hi there!

This week's highlight: Bruder Jäggi's baptism!!!  It was so great.

Well, of course it had its little kinks in the program, but we tried 😊

Like Elder Nielsen says the baptismal prayer and goes to put our tiny

74 year old investigator under the water, but it just didn't work.

Hahaha

Actually it was kind of bad because Bruder Jäggi was really trying to

go under but honestly it just looked like this missionary was trying

to drown this old man. And then all the ward members, the vocal ones,

were trying to tell Elder Nielsen what to do and and this kind of

frantic funny scene went on for five minutes. I'm not even kidding. It

was really five minutes. Finally, finally he got baptized, but I don't

think half the people were watching at this point but we all clapped

and some cheered, which I'm not sure you're suppose to do that at a

baptism but that's ok. Hahaha you had to have been there.

As funny as that was, it was still a really spiritual experience for

Bruder Jäggi. He was so happy. I've never seen him so happy before, or

emotional. It was really beautiful to see.

Seriously, he had completely turned his life around. Just a year ago

he didn't even know anything about God, but slowly but surely, his

life changed and he really knows God and has faith in Jesus Christ. It

took so much patience for me to teach him haha but now I look back and

I realize how blessed I was to be a part of this. Every week for six

months teaching him, I look back and see that I had little to do with

any of it. It's all Heavenly Father. It's all the Lord. And I've been

so so blessed to get a front row seat of the power of the atonement in

individual lives.

Have a great week,
