This is Belinda Lee Basinski :) Isn't she so beautiful! I'm telling you she came up out of that water just glowing! I love her so much!!! Sisters for LIFE!
So twas the night before new years eve and I really thought we had everything ready for the next day. But as it would be, I'm the WORST planner/ organizer ever. I'm telling you. Baptism morning we get a call telling us that the Sister who was making the baptism programs was sick and was not going to make it. No prob. I can make a baptismal program EASY. Ok just kidding never ask me to do that again. Luckily one of the Elders was pretty dang tech savy so he took care of it for us after much yelling frustration and tears. I was basically running around the church building like a chicken with it's head cut off. I was no help. "The sister giving the talk on the Holy Ghost isn't responding to our phone calls, I totally forgot to ask someone to play the piano, Belinda's name is spelled wrong on the programs!" So grateful for chill Elders and experienced members. Wah! :) Belinda was like, why is it that everything is so unorganized with me? I was like, honey, it's me. I'm a hot mess in general!!! hahaha! It's a good thing we're such good friends :) But I'm telling you folks, this was the most spiritual baptism I've ever been too. Just because Belinda was so prepared and so committed to the covenant she knew she was making with God. We were all crying!
She was confirmed a member yesterday and took the Sacrament for the 1st time as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints :) It was so spiritual and she is such an example to me :) I know that Heavenly Father sent me to the Rolling Hills ward of Wichita to teach this sweet lady :) I'm not lying when I say friends for life :)
Look! She's even got her "quad!" She loves that thing so much and I'm so grateful for it!
I am so underserving. Like all the time. But the Lord loves me anyways and sees fit to bless me 10 fold. I'm really really set on rededicating myself this transfer. I've only got 3 left and I need to make the most of it!
Well I've been on too long and my zone leader just scolded me :) heh. But I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!!!!
