This week was a good
week we had the baptism of Laodicea, she has a 2 year old son, she is the
sister of 2 members, and at one point we had cut her. we went back one day and
she had changed... I don’t know what it was she said it was because she missed
the missionaries... so we told her about how serious baptism is and that she
needed to keep all the challenges we left with her.... and she did 2 weeks
later she was baptized.
Sunday in church the
2nd counselor in the presidency said the closing prayer in sacrament... at the
end he only said "Amen"... no one moved I peaked and saw him looking
at everyone with their heads bowed and eyes closed... he paused for a min, then
quickly bowed his and closed his eyes and said "in the name...." with
those magic words every one said "amen" in agreement. Haha
We had a cool
experience at a less actives house we ate lunch and we just talking with her
about her life in the church what calling she used to have and all that
stuff we began talking about her baptism... she got teary eyed remembering the
sweat feelings of forgiveness that special day... we then invited her to give a
prayer at church the next day. She quickly accepted and the next day
she was there with her son. I hope we can continue to help her return to full activity
in the church.
This week I was listening
to pres monsons talk from p-hood sesh I would invite all to listen to that
talk again and think about how you can improve. I know that doing this will
give all more strength and courage to complete your responsibility as a member
of the church in helping your brothers and sisters receive more joy in their
lives.
I know Jesus is
our savior and that this is his church restored here in these last days...
do you want joy? Do you want lasting peace and happiness? Then learn, and
follow the teachings of this church because they are the teaching of Christ.
Love you
all!!!
