Hey you spiritual porcupines

We had Alex's Baptism this week and it was awesome. It took us about 3 and a half hours to fill up the font because our font for some reason is twice as big as a regular font and our water heater also sucks so the water was a little cold. So the first song we sang was Baptism (of course) and I felt the spirit very while we sang that song. I honestly can't remember much about my Baptism so it is way cool to watch others be baptized and get some new memories. We had some awesome speakers and really everything went great in the Baptism. I can testify that God loves his children. Even one that a couple months ago didn't even believe in God too much

Also we had a fun church experience. Our friend Maria came to church for the first time in over a decade. (Not our church but just a church) and She seemed a little uncomfortable at first but she warmed up towards the end and even went to Relief Society and the sisters just took her in it was awesome. And actually during sacrament meeting we had to bless the water 3 times because we ran out of water 3 times. Then the first speaker spoke for like 25 minutes and I couldn't tell you at all what he talked about. Then the Second Speaker Brother Waller. At the very beginning of his talk quoted Isaiah that basically said stand up, shake off the dust, and sit down. So in sacrament meeting he had the whole branch do that. It was weird haha but the rest of his talk was good. Then we had a Linger Longer at the end of church where people bring food. Anyways it was a party. Maria is definitely going to remember her first church experience because some of them were definitely new for me.

And I know I'm talking a lot but we went to a members house the Johnsons and they have two very energetic tiny dogs that were jumping on top of us and going everywhere over us. And we were teaching them the plan of salvation because they are a part member family and I'm petting this little dog named Colby and as I'm petting this dog on my lap he starts licking my neck and then works his way all the way down my Arm and it was so uncomfortable haha I didn't know what to do. You couldn't pet him without him licking you it was a party haha and disgusting

I want to say that I Love Jesus Christ. He truly does know us all one by one. I have seen that he does things one by one and that he did the Atonement for each of us one by one. That is how he knows us perfectly and exactly. I know he Lives. And I say that in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. : )

Wisconsin Culture: People love their dogs here that is how we talk to a lot of people on the street. Here in Wisconsin you have to like dogs
