January 7, 2013 - My First Baptism--and all in Spanish

I’m just getting used to the missionary thing. My companion tells me I’m a super great elder. My trainer is going home in February and getting a bit trunky. It's OK. I’m going to work at the pace we should and carry him to it.

So the news is Josue was baptized on Christmas. It felt unlike anything I have ever felt before. I love helping others come unto Christ. I have seen his life change. I ordained him in sacrament meeting and baptized him all in Spanish.  I need to send home pix of my journal so you can better log the experience.

I have been called to endure and give my all to the Lord, and that I will do. I will push super hard out here. I will do all that is required of me. I won’t play around. I can’t. I love God too much. Pray for me.

Love, 
Elder Pinegar
P.S. - I found my camera and chipped a tooth. Don't worry I'm in a good place to get it fixed. I'll send a camera card with pix on it soon.
