NOVEMBER 17th
This has been a pretty good week! Seriously ever
since I got my blessing from Elder Ah Loy I have been doing soo much
better! My testimony in prayer and the power of the priesthood have grown
soo much!
So a lot of people ask me how long I have been out and I
almost want to just start saying 4 months... haha but nope... 7): ew! So I have
been a part of a couple baptisms. But I have never been the missionary who
taught the people. I have just been there the day they got
baptized! This week there was a baptism.
His name is George and he is in an addiction recovery home. He can
only leave the place once a week for church stuff and he has been coming to
church for 2 months now! So President had to interview him and then he had to
get permission from the First Presidency to get baptized! AND HE DID!
Wow! So it was before church when we had it! AMAZING! I think that
is the best way to start off Sunday, with a baptism! haha So President
Miller actually baptized him and when he came up out of the water---beaming! On
cloud nine! The spirit was sooooo strong! And I was thinking about it, how
someone I have taught has never been baptized, but I"m ok with it because
honestly I will never have a baptism on the mission, they are all
Heavenly Fathers and there is a time a reason for everything.
I feel like the number one person I have converted this far on my
mission is me! I have come to know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ soo much! I
have so much more of a love for this gospel and you know, I'm grateful for that!
:)
I have seen as I make myself more worthy of the Holy Ghost, being
100% obedient I am more of an effective tool in Gods hands!
The other night we were going to see some families, but I felt
like we should go see this former investigator, so we did.
Long story short, she wants to be baptized! We are for sure
harvesting all past missionaries labors!
I am beyond grateful for this work that I so honorably get to be a
part of!
I love you all, thank you for all you do each and every day!!
