Today was a neat experience. We went to the temple to do baptisms for the dead with Jennie Giotta (for her first time). Five of us went - Me, E. Malani, Jennie, Sis. Pope and Steve Wilson. We each did 20 baptisms so we baptized and confirmed 100 people as a gropu! It was a great experience to be in the temple with 2 recent converts. I love the spirit in the temple. After the temple Jennie and Sis. Pope took us to lunch at Panera. It was a great afternoon...Then that night we went back to Jennie's house and had a lesson with Jennie's mom Mimi and her sister Mary Beth. We taught the Plan of Salvation. It went pretty well. I felt like I was teaching the logic of the plan - stressing too much about if it all made sense to them - rather than focusing on the spirit and teaching to their needs. It was still a good night. We plan on taking them to the VC in a few weeks and Mary Beth is coming to church this week!
