It is Monday and we have been busy serving the Elders and running errands that will help them and Mission -- it is a Happy Day in Maputo!
This week we will have been missionaries for a year -- and time seems to be flying by as I find more things I can do to serve here. Although most of the things I do are small acts of service -- they do help with the overall mission.
For instance, on Saturday I got to launder all the clothing and towels used for the baptismal service -- small thing but still needed. Another day I processed all the subscriptions to the Church Magazine for over a hundred members here and three Church Magazines for 60 Elders and 9 couples. I really never thought about the many little things it takes to keep a mission running but Seniors are needed to do these things -- so that the Elders and young Sisters can be knocking doors, finding people to teach, and then inviting them to Come Unto Christ. So, Seniors talk to your Bishops -- you are needed. If I can find ways to serve -- you can too.
Saturday was warm and wonderful with nine people being baptized -- five in one family--they have been investigating the Church for a long time. The picture is of them and those who performed the ordinances of baptism.
Have a great week -- where ever you are and find ways to serve. Love, Sister Wick.

I guess this comment is a little late, but that's okay!
So is that the Matsinhe family from Matola that's getting baptized in the picture? I never actually met them, but I heard plenty of wonderful things about them, and I'm absolutely ecstatic that they finally got baptized. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for the happy day.
