Hello, everyone! I'm writing this one first because I have
SO much to say! This week has been absolutely incredible! We have seen a lot of
miracles happen daily.
One of my favorites was when we had the prompting to call
one of the sisters in the ward. We did so and asked if we could visit her later
that day. When we went to see her, she asked why we called at the time we did.
She had been having a very hard day and needed someone there to simply give her
a hug and help her. It strengthened my testimony of how Heavenly Father knows
each of us and prepares a way for our needs to be met through others. I'm
grateful that we called her.
The most amazing thing happened halfway through the week. I
briefly mentioned the gentleman that we've been teaching who gave us his coffee
last week. He had a long, wearying battle against the adversary. On Wednesday
he faced his greatest turning point, and we had prepared long and hard to help
him. He made a commitment that he has struggled with for a long time. By the
end of the lesson, he was full of joy to do that one thing. He was baptized and
confirmed this weekend. He has become such a dear friend and I've been inspired
by his faith and determination. His baptism was beautiful and very special. I'm
so blessed to know him.
I've probably started to be annoying, but I just have to say
that members make the difference! Our lesson wouldn't have happened without the
sister who once had to make the same decision before her own baptism. The
members bring such a special and powerful testimony that brings the Spirit in
full force. When opportunities come to help the missionaries, I would exhort
you to help in every way possible. I know it takes sacrifice, but the blessings
outweigh the sacrifice.
I know that this church is Jesus Christ's church and that He
is at the head of it. He expects us to share our testimonies with others and
promises that as we do so we may help bring salvation to them (3 Nephi 18:32).
I hope you all have a week full of miracles and wonderful experiences!
