Eric was baptized this week!

I sit here and contemplate my week thinking of what actually happened.
It`s crazy to think about how much has truly happened in a week. One
week as a missionary has the spiritual experiences of 1 year of being
a normal teenager. Yet the week blows by in a flash.

I had another baptism this Friday! His name is Eric and he was a total
boarder bum in SLC until he got married. We talk about snowboarding a
lot and it is nice to talk to someone who knows what snow is 
He asked me to baptize him. It was an amazing experience. He is a
chill guy and not much gets to him, but when he came up out of the
water he was crying and gave me a big hug. It was incredible!! It
seriously makes all of this worth it. I love this!!

I met a homeless man who told me he legally changed his name to `Rich
in the Spirit`. He was super nice and we chatted for a bit. He`s
suffered addiction problems and he`s dealing with a lot of inner
demons. He`s trying his hardest to get out of that life style though.
It was rather inspiring to see a man who`s been beaten down by the
world have this fire to change and become better. We said a prayer
with him and he was very grateful. One of my best experience with the
homeless people around here!
