Hi all I have no time, sorry but I have two amazing stories to share...
We had two baptisms this week. The first was Marisol... Marisol contacted us two weeks ago in the street and said that she was interested in the lessons. She had been attending church for a year and had taken the lessons before but never was ready to be baptized. She came to church and had an interview with Elder Schaeffer (district leader). He said that she was ready to get baptized. Every time that we tried to visit her we couldn't... She never was there!!! We called her and that is how we did the lessons. ALL THE LESSONS!! Finally last Friday we asked her to be baptized.... For the next day.... She said that she was ready and was baptized on Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. She bore her testimony and wow, was it powerful! She was an alcoholic but hasn't had a drink of alcohol in 3 months and she's going strong! It was really cool to see how the Lord changes our lives. I literally did nothing but reteach her, the Lord helped her become worthy and ready.
The other baptism was really a half baptism. His name is Edwin. He was a reference for us and we taught him and invited him to be baptized. Later we found out that he doesn't live in our area so we had to give him over to the zone leaders. They taught him but asked us to stay in contact. We did and really helped him with some of things. He has a bad leg and it was super hard for him to be baptized but he did!! But he couldn't be confirmed because he was sick... We are praying that he will be confirmed next week!
This week was awesome!!! I learned a ton and I am truly grateful to be here in this area! THank you so much for all the love and support!! Have a great week! I love you all!
