Sister Swindle in Jamaica

It was so incredible this week to watch Damion change his life for good and make covenants with our Father in Heaven. It reminds me of how sacred it is that we are able to be baptized and show our willingness to follow Him for the rest of our lives!!

We are so excited and can't wait for him, so keep him in your prayers because the week before baptism is always filled with lots and lots of opposition for investigators. Also pray that we will have water to fill up the font!! But really, this week was more comical than anything. We seriously just had the funniest and most random things happen that are too good not to share: - One random guy on the street was asking about the "white guy that you worship that lives in America," so we...
