Hey Everyone I hope you all had a great week! This week was amazing!
Saturday! I had the chance to baptize D.! The water was freeeeeeeezing so she didnt want to get in! She was super brave and finally got in, so I had to baptize her quick! But she came up from the water like gasping for air because it was so cold! It was still an amazing experience! She bore her testimony for like 10 mins after her baptism about being clean and the Gospel!
Also I would really love to share an awesome experience that one of my investigators had yesterday! So, we are teaching this 18 year old girl named L.! She is super Catholic and this whole time we have been teaching her she has been praying to make a decision to either stay in the Catholic Church of join the Church of Jesus Christ and be baptized. So she has just been really confused and hadn't received an answer from God on what to do. She has read the Book of Mormon, has prayed to know if the church is true and this book ... and nothing. So Friday and saturday she told me she just felt so extremely confused and depressed on what to do, and felt more confused than ever. So Saturday she prayed before going to sleep one more time, to know if the church is true. So Saturday night, she told me, she had a very, weird, vivid dream that she didn't understand at all, and was even more confused when she woke up Sunday morning. So she came to church, and yesterday was fast and testimony meeting, and the testimony meeting we had was so powerful, all the members testimonies were so pure and powerful. After the testimony meeting, we confirmed D., and then the Sacrament Meeting ended. The Spirit was so strong and the whole time I was just praying that L. was feeling this. After Sacrament meeting ended, I looked over to L., and she was balling. She was crying so much and was hugging her aunt (a member), so I went up and talked to her! She just looked at me crying and told me, "I feel it! I know this is true!" And later on she told me she totally understands her dream now and she knows that this is what she needs to do! And for the rest of church she was so extremely happy, and just telling everyone what happened in church, and she even got up in Relief Society (women's organization) and bore her testimony in front of everyone. She will be baptized the 14th of March, and she knows without a doubt now that this church is true, because she has received an answer from God through the Holy Ghost.
I just want you all to know, that I know this church is true. I know that Joseph Smith really saw God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ, and that this is His church. I know that God answers prayers in his own due time. But he always answers. I know God loves each and everyone of us, and knows us perfectly. I know all these things because I feel it, and have received a spirtual witness from God that I know this is all true. And especially when I see people like L., that receive answers to her prayers in such a strong powerful way it just builds my testimony that all of this is true! Love you all!
