Jacob looked good for MORP.... hope he had an awesome time! And
of course a good night kiss... haha just kidding he's too young :)
About being stressed out. Ya know what... truthfully yes I do
stress out a lot and I feel like it is one of my weeknesses recently in the
last few months I have been trying really hard not to stress out and to just
stay calm and let things pass as they do. However I definitely don't always
succeed.
But this week was awesome!! And guess what
all of your prayers for the man that you don't know worked! He got baptized! So
I'll tell you the story.
So all week I had been praying my heart out that Investigator R.
could be baptized and that he would have the strength to be able to overcome his
addictions and recieve a remision of his sins. Every single day we passed by his
house to check up on him and see how he was doing and on Thursday, two days
before his baptism he told us a story about how he had bought a
cigarette and was going to give up on trying to quit smoking. However as he lit up the
cigarette, the butt end fell off right as he lit it up and he was so frustrated, he
threw the cigarette away and didn't smoke! He took that as a sign that God
wanted him to go through with his baptism and he pushed through and Saturday at
7:00 he was able to be baptized! After his baptism he told us that he felt
clean and that he felt like he was a new person. You don't even know how happy
it made me to be able to see him take that step in his life. He obviously still
has a long way to go to continue putting away this vice in his life but wow, God
truly does answer our prayers and he trully does fight against the devil to
help us to succeed. I was so very grateful and it strengthened my testimony a
ton on the power of prayer.
So this week was awesome we are working hard and I love the
area that I am in right now!
is so sweet and loves to go to church.
