Helloooooooooo!
This week flewwww by again! Only two weeks left of the transfer. Almost have 4 months. I dont believe it.
Anyways. This week was awesome!
Monday
we returned to L and L. L (the husband) said he would be baptized. And
L (the wife) said that if her mom didn't come into town she would be too with
him but if she comes she will be next week. L said that he wouldnt
wait for her. He wanted to be baptized this week. It was kinda funny
because she said "can't you wait for me for one more week" and he
said..."no if you want to be baptized together you can be baptized this
week with or without your mom here. I want to be baptized now." hahaha.
Poor L. Anyways her mom ended up coming so Sat. was his interview. He
passed of course and Sunday
I almost died when he actually walked into the meeting! The first time
coming to church. 8 weeks. Miracles happen. He loved church. And at 6:00
that night he showed up at the church on time.....and even brought
L, her mom, and his two daughters to watch him be baptized. The
baptism was the most spiritual and happy baptism I have seen yet. The
spirit was so strong. While waiting for him to change instead of singing
a hundred hymns, members of the ward got up and bore their testimonies
about their baptism! I didnt realize how many converts there are in our
ward. It was amazing. His family was really touched. I think they will
all eventually be baptized. Even the skeptical mother in law was really
impressed and really felt the spirit. When he came up out of the water I
have never seen a smile so big. He was literally beaming and looked
elated. It was amazing. After the baptism we all had cake. As they were
leaving L (the wife) turned to us and said...."next week will be me." It was
amazing. I am so excited. 8 weeks of patience and doubt from leaders
and even from us....and he was baptized. It was a spritual experience to
always remember.
Wednesday
we literally woke a sleeping man up to invite him to be baptized and he
said yes! Poor thing was sleeping and we came to his house to talk with
his wife who is already a member. When we explained we were here to
invite him to be batized she pushed us into their room where he was
sleeping and woke him up right in front of us! He sat up in his bed and
grogily said yes to being baptized Saturday.....not
sure if he was really awake so we will have to see if that really
happens but it was awesome none the less! It reminded me of that
scripture in the bible...I think its in John but to be honest its Pday
and my brain is mush right now. Anyways the scripture literally
says....ARISE AND BE BAPTIZED! hahaha.
Friday
we set up a table in the center with the other sisters and passed out
cards and talked to what felt like a billion people about the gospel and
invited everyone to church. We had a box of 50 Book of Mormons and by
the end of 2 hours they were all gone. It was amazing! We decided to do
this once every week. It was a great way to talk to people and make
contacts. I am so excited to continue. It was a little scary at first
and not everyone stopped to listen but at least 100 people stopped and
if even one person goes to church because of our efforts I will be
estatic. :)
Today I went to the Police office and they took my prints and I got all my documents in order! I am officially legal!!! :D
This week: Pray for C. Pray that she will feel ready for baptism Saturday and that her mom, sister, and daughter will like the message we are sharing with them tomorrow. <3
Anyways thats about it for me this week. Sorry its
not a lot. I love you all and I miss you all LOADS. Hope all is well.
You are always in my thoughts and prayers. <3
