Happy Father's Day!

Good times down here in Stockton, CA, or "The Promised Land" as it is called in this mission. Despite SATAN and his many attempts to stop Anna's baptism from happening, it all went through without a hitch. The baptism was scheduled for 3pm and we got a call from Anna a few hours before saying her ride to the baptism had fallen through. We would just take her but missionaries aren't allowed to give rides to anyone other than fellow missionaries. Big no-no. Normally it wouldn't be a huge deal getting a ride for her, but yesterday was ward temple day so NO ONE could take her. It was very stressful. And then an hour before the baptism the bishopric member we'd set up to come said he couldn't anymore. And we can't do the ordinance without a bishopric member there. Uh-oh! But it all came together--we found a ride, we found another bishopric member, and the baptism was great. She was so excited and that was just wonderful to see.

I hope everyone's Father's Day was wonderful, and your lives in general as well.
