So to start off, this past thursday, it stormed! We were told to be back at our flat as soon as possible and stay at home the whole day, and it was crazy! But it was only the beginning. The next day was sunny, but that was when the floods hit. We were safe, but if you walk maybe 5 houses down our street everything was flooded. Many roads were closed, and we weren't even able to get to some areas because all the roads were flooded! The next day, the waters shifted a bit and the elders that lived near us were pretty much stuck on an island, all the roads to get to their flat were blocked. So it's been an interesting and wet week!
And on the topic of water, this past Saturday we filled up our baptismal font to help prepare of the baptism of Asa, the 9 year old boy we've been helping to prep for baptism. It was a private baptism since he gets stage fright easily, and it all went well! It took him a while to enter the water, then a little longer for his dad to immerse him, since he was scared of the water and the attention, but he was able to gather up all his courage and was baptized in the end! It was a really powerful experience.
Anyways, we have one more baptism coming up this month, which we are really excited about! It's for Tyson, and we've taught him three lessons so far. He's a really cool guy and really smart, and is understanding everything we teach him so far.
Well, I can't wait to watch general conference, thanks everyone for not giving me any spoilers! Just a spiritual thought I want to leave with you today is to remember that Heavenly Father loves you! And if you don't know if He does or if He's there, ask him, and experiment upon his word! Just a short little message for you all today.
Thanks for all your love and support,
Elder Ho
