Hello Everyone!
Hola Todos (A little spanish for flare)!
Just a quick update. We had a baptism this last weekend on Sunday!!!!!!!! It was soooooo sweet! The best part about having baptisms is the spirit you feel every time! Being able to help someone know the everlasting joy that can come into their life on top of the joy they already have! and seeing how hopeful and happy they are when they realize that they're able to be together with their families and with God forever!!!
We also had stake conference this weekend! It was incredible! The stake presidency here in the Rose Park North Stake is incredible! plus, our mission president came and spoke at the priesthood leadership and adult sessions on Sat. and the whole conference was about the members of the church opening their mouths and sharing the gospel so that others can feel of the amazing joy that the spirit can bring into their life! We are seeing an abundant outpouring of miracles happening in our area suddenly! It is truly amazing to witness the promise of God fulfilled when He promises a trial of our faith in every circumstance and a confirmation of our faith in every circumstance according to our diligence in persevering through our trials! It brings me overwhelming joy and hope to know of the plan God has for us as His children and an infinite increase of that joy when I am able to help others come to a knowledge of this as well, and see them take the steps that are requisite for us to return to live with God! I thank each of you again for the example you are to me at helping me become a better servant of my Savior and glorifying God in all I do and say! Thank you so much!
Love Elder Partridge!
