Hey guys,
Well another week down and my week was interesting. It
wasn't the best week of all time but definitely not the worst either.
So
first off we had a baptism!!!! Hey her name is Investigator D. and she is 75 years old and it was
honestly the biggest miracle to be able to find her. I'll tell you a little
about how it all happened. So one day as we were walking my companion points out
a lady sitting in front of her house and he says, "one day we have to go pass by
her because she would always say hi to me and my last companion." Then the next day
as we were passing by again I thought, hey why not.... so we passed by and talked to
her. In the first contact we invited her to go to church be baptized and gave her
a Book of Mormon... and she accepted everything without a doubt. Then the
next day we passed by to talk to her and she had read the first 10 chapters out
of the Book of Mormon! And was still excited for her baptism. Well to make a
long story short she went to church her three times and recently was baptized
this last Saturday then on Sunday for her confirmation she came to church an hour
early by herself and was patiently waiting for the meeting to start. She
honestly is just a testimony that there truly are people just chosen and ready
to be baptized and accept the Church. Wow... it was an amazing experience being
able to get to know her.
And now this next upcoming week we can possibly have another baptism as
well and his name is Investigator R. and he is 40 years old. He is super super excited
to get baptized but his challenge is that he has been smoking and drinking
coffee since he was a little kid. So he'll have to give it up for good. I would
love it if all of you could help pray for this investigator to get baptized this
week... it would mean a lot! :)
And last, I now have a new companion. His name is Elder Cardona and he is
from Bogota Colombia! I just barely got back from the bus station dropping off
Elder Muñoz. So ya I'm excited to work with my new companion!
Other than that I am doing well and I'm happy. I hope everything is going well for
you guys! Well I love you all to death. I'm so sorry, but this computer will not let me send pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to send them next week.
Elder Lignell
