APOSTLES AND BAPTISMS MAKE FOR A GREAT WEEK!
HELLLOOO ALL.
We have living apostles
and prophets and miracles do not cease to exist! God still loves and still
wants to lead and guide us!
Elder Holland came and
spoke at Stake Conference and I honestly don't think I or the investigators
that came will ever be the same. It was such an amazing experience that I
really do not think I can put it all into words. Basically, if I ever had a
doubt in my mind about their being modern day apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ
on the earth today, I most certainly do not now. Saturday and Sunday are days
that I seriously will never forget! We were sitting next to Alicia for the
Saturday night session and she just turns to us at the end of the session and
says " WOW. That was amazing."
This past weekend felt
like a year and a half! It was jam packed full of craziness and joy and
overwhelmingly awesome miracles!
Alejandra and Alexander
got baptized this weekend! We had two separate services for them since they
were baptized into different wards.
Alejandra's
baptism was so spiritual. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. We did the whole
thing in Spanish so her family that skyped in from Bolivia could understand.
She walked into the chapel that morning and she just radiated pure joy. I have
never seen anyone so excited to be baptized before! She was a completely
different person than when we started teaching her. Her testimony is so strong
and earlier this week she told us that she is so excited to be just like us in
a few years and SERVE A MISSION!!! ahhh!
Alexander was also
really excited that he said he couldn't even sleep the night before! He was
completely welcomed in my the YSA and we are so excited for him! He knows that
he has so much more to learn and become and we are really excited to help him!
He was also baptized with some from the Portuguese branch in our stake so it was
a cool bilingual experience! President Garns was there and it was
awesome!
We are so excited for
Alicia! She is getting baptized next weekend and is SO READY! She has such an
amazing testimony! Her and Fredi should be getting married in Utah in
September/October and they are so excited too! I can’t wait for their sealing
in a year!!!
We are also teaching a
man with severe cerebra-palsy. We had an incredible lesson with him last night.
I will write more about him next week!
"And they were
among the people of Nephi, and also numbered among the people who were of the
church of God. And they were also distinguished for their ZEAL towards God, and
also towards men; for they were perfectly HONEST and upright in all things; and
they were FIRM in the faith of Christ, even unto the end."
May we be zealous,
honest and firm in the faith until the end!
I love you all and pray
for you every day! Have a great week!!!!
