Sorry I don't have too much time today. It's been kind of a slow and sluggish day--heat comes in waves outside, and with the humidity the way it is, I feel like I'm swimming in slow-motion through the air.
But at least I'm running behind for a good reason! The sisters in our ward had a baptism today--so we got there an hour ahead of time to fill up the font for them. But the doors to the font were locked! And the only key that existed to that lock? Lost two weeks before by an Elder who today will go anonymous to save his pride. So we had to break in--but how? We tried jimmying the deadbolts with a knife and a credit card, unscrewing the handle--nothing. So our zone leader climbs up through the ceiling in the women´s bathroom and drops down inside! And I had to follow him because he forgot the knife. Haha but we got it open and began to fill up the font--with frigid cold water (the heater wouldn't start). So we frantically find some miscellaneous pots and pans and boil water on the stove to add to the icewater. What an adventure!
But he got baptized. That's what's important. And I know it's worth any lengths we have to go to to do it. It can happen even when things seem impossible-- when people´s hearts seem closed and locked. The Lord will show us the way to help them accept Him into their lives. It way be difficult for all of us. But it will be worth it.
I love you,
Elder Hansen
