Hello hello,
This week has been rough!!!
But what happened at the end of the week makes up for it. Yes he
was baptized this weekend!! it was wonderful now he and his family can
continue to progress even more in the gospel. It was such a good turnout
and it was such a lovely service. you could see a huge change occur in
him after he was baptized! i am so glad that he took that next step and i
know that his family was as well.
A LA member brought her friend
to church a few weeks ago and we taught her again yesterday. It was such
an amazing lesson. Since we hadn't seen her for a while because she was
busy she asked that we teach her 2 lessons. It is amazing how the
spirit touches people hearts. She was telling us about how she felt
after the first lesson and about how when we recited the first vision it
touched her heart and then when she went home and then read the leaflet
on the Restoration she felt compelled to just dive into the Book of
Mormon and how at the moment things just seemed to click. We taught her
lesson two and three yesterday and she really enjoyed them. She is
really shy when it comes to reading in front of people and in lessons
and wouldn't do it for the first few times that we asked. Yesterday she
said that she wants to feel comfortable doing that because she want's to
participate more in church and in the lessons so she trusted us enough
to read in front of us. She is touched by the fact that we pray before
meals and before everything that we do and she wants to incorporate that
into her life. She asked us to go over prayer again with her because
she wants to bbe able to pray out loud rather than just in her head. So
we taught her how to pray again and then invited her to pray at the end
of the lesson. She was really nervous. It took a few minutes for her to
start. It was a lovely heartfelt prayer and afterwards when she was done
praying she burst into tears. She expressed that she just felt so good
and she loved what she was feeling. She had Sister Morgan and I and her
friend Emma all in tears. It was such a neat experience and the spirit
was just so strong. Those are the two highlights of the week. I love the
gospel and I know that it's true.
love you
syd
