Mark Baptizes in the Ocean

More from Mark at 4 weeks to go

Hey so this week was one of the awesomest weeks i´ve ever had in my life!! Let me just tell you a few parts because there simply will not be enough time to tell you everything. On Thursday we had Luis´interview for baptism (the 20 year old) because he was gonna get baptized on Friday. We had to make sure that the font was full because another ward in the zone was baptizing. Well the water ran out in the church or something weird so we had no water and no one in the zone was baptizing so we had no font ready... well we had one font ready... a very big font... the OCEAN! haha. so Elder Bolton asked permission and we got to have a super baptism in the ocean right by my house in Rosarito!! I didn´t baptize her but I got to get in the water because the witnesses have to get in too. so that was awesome... but even COOLER was that I came home the next day and we baptized Luis who is totally excited to go on a mission!! .. then on SATURDAY in my other sector in my district they had a baptism and i got to baptize him and in their branch they don't have a chapel and so they don't have a font either so we baptized HIM in the ocean too! and this time I DID get to perform the ordinance and i´ll have you all know that on Saturday the 27 of September 2008 I baptized in the ocean... but not just anybody, I actually baptized Jesus in the ocean.... yeah !! cool EH!!! Jesus is a cool dude. Kinda funny but i did his interview and then i got to jump in the ocean and baptize the guy. it ROCKED!! THEN i get home and Saturday and a guy from my old ward OLIVOS from Insurgentes calls the house... so anyway they are gonna come down and visit me here AND their whole family is getting sealed the 6th of December along with two other families that I have down in that ward. 5 families are gonna get sealed that day!! I´m so totally excited. It was an AWESOME week. And today we are gonna hang out in the flea market and see what there is to see. I´m so totally excited and i have the sweetest pictures. This week is conference i´m stoked!! And we are baptizing a guy who lives on the beach in a rad house. The waves even get up to his driveway sometimes! Cool eh. I haven´t tried lobster yet but this week i will i think. there is a lobster buffet right here close.. hah. Love ya.Elder Walker. :-D
