Cold Water Miracle!!

What's up Elder Ditto support squad! Another GREAT week!! First off — Dillon got baptized yesterday! I will talk more about that in a sec...

Dillon's Baptism

But first...funny story. We were teaching these kids the 10 commandments (there are like 10 different hand signs to help remember them, and we were teaching them those). The kids could NOT process how to get their fingers to move in such a way to make the signs that brain-to-finger receptor was definitely not developed yet lol. THEN while we were teaching these kids and their mom, this other kid was in the corner was causing some commotion. SO the mom grabbed the kid and buckled her up into a car seat that was sitting on the floor. This way, the kid can watch her TV show and hopefully not be distracting. BUT the little girl was kinda upset still and a few minutes later I turn and see her tip over and hit the ground sideways the funniest thing was it seriously looked like she fell in slow motion. Then she tried to flip over onto her face and stand up and walk. But since she is locked in a car seat, her legs can't really bend and she is shaped like this . She looked like a right triangle. Okay this is clearly less funny when I explain it...but me and Elder Nogueira were trying hard to hold back the laughter at the moment 

Dillon! He got baptized last night. 

 Dillon post-baptism

We met him like 1.5 months ago. We were walking around and then saw Dillon walking into his apartment and started to ask about his holidays. He said they were fine and then walked into his apartment and was closing the door when we yelled for him and asked another question. Then there was a pause and then he opened the door again. We started to talk about the Plan of Salvation and BOOM now he is baptized and has the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Amazing how God works. He really prepared Dillon for that moment too. Dillon is such a funny guy and I learned a lot from teaching him. He is gonna be a great leader in the church too! Everyone likes him haha 

Oh also - Dillon wanted the water cold for his baptism (but there is only one temperature for the font...and the temp is WARM), and we told him we would not be able to deliver the necessary cold water sadly. THEN there was a power outage while the font was filling and this mus gave caused the water to not be heated. Cuz when we went to check on the water...it was COLD! God is in the details. The water ended up being like lukewarm, with a cold bottom layer haha, cuz the heater kicked back on after a while

We also got a bolt (& washer) in our tire and had to get that fixed. And like everyone has COVID, so that is crazy. Oh, AND Dee (got baptized last week) said the closing prayer at Dillon's baptism, so that is rad!

Song of the Week:

- Bad by TheHxliday. This song reminds me of when I was all sad at the beginning of my mission, and especially when I missed Young Chap  He sent me this song back then 

Scripture of the Week:

- Alma 32 (The Book of Mormon). This chapter is FIRE!!! I am a bit fan of the talk of faith. But also I really like all scriptures about Humility and learning the power and impotence of it!
