Janelly's Baptism
6/8/15
What
an incredible week it has been! Man, Heavenly Father loves us.
We had a baptism on
Sunday and it was great. Janelly, our 12 year old investigator got
baptized and she was so happy. Her mom is a member and part of her family
came up from Mexico for the baptism. And the rest of Janelly's family and
friends came as well. It was so great to see them all there, supporting
her, along with all of the ward members. She's going to be a great addition to
this ward!
We also had another
investigator come to church, which is really exciting because she's beginning
to progress and work towards baptism. And we found two new investigators
last night. Yesterday really was a day of miracles. We went downtown to
visit a potential investigator and while we were parking there was a guy
watching us. He was outside playing with his puppies so we stopped to
talked to him. He said he'd be interested in hearing more so we got his
number and planned on talking to him later and went on our way. But then
the people we were going to teach were busy and didn't let us in. As we
were walking back to our car, the man we had talked to was still there so we
ended up sitting down and having a lesson with him right then. He had a
lot of really good questions and seems pretty open. He even accepted a
baptismal date, although he definitely wants to make sure he's ready to be
baptized by then.
Everything that
happened this week was really a testimony to me of working diligently until the
end. The beginning of this week was pretty slow for us. We had
several days where we didn't get very many lessons and we were having a hard
time finding people to teach. But we kept the faith and kept working
hard. And our hard work paid off because we saw so many miracles on the last
day of the week! I think sometimes I forget that it's not about what I want
when I want it. The Lord has a plan. When we trust in the Lord and
his timing, and work until the end, so many miracles come.
I'm so grateful for
the opportunity I have to serve Him and learn and grow from the things He has
to teach me. I love you all! I hope you're all doing well.
Les quiero mucho,
Hermana Horne
