this week was really spectacular! me and elder c
baptized 5 people this week!!!
Al told us that he was waiting for the missionaries to
find him again, the sisters had taught him three years ago but he didnt want to
be baptized because he wasnt able to stop smoking. but about four or five
months ago he read exodus 23:20-23 and recognized the missionaries as the
angels and with prayed really hard and finally stopped smoking! he was just
waiting for us to come baptize him! on wednesday we taught him and his wife,
Qui, was in house (usually she works all day) we taught her about the
restauration and challenged her to pray RIGHT THEN to ask God if Joseph Smith
was a prophet. so we all kneeled down and she prayed and asked. after a few
moments she looked up at us and said that it felt like the weight of the world
dissappeared and was floating, really light and happy. she accepted that
as a response from the Holy Spirit and accepted the invitation to be baptized
THAT SATURDAY!!!
the other 3 people was another family that we have been
working with for about a month, a family of 4.a couple and 2 kids. the wife is
scared of choosing the wrong church and hasnt been receiving answers to her
prayers, but last week we discovered that se was smoking, which blocks the
spirit. we gave her a blessing, and after that she said that she didn't get any
pleasure out of smoking. she even tried smoking a couple of times after that
just to see if the addict´s pleasure would return but it didn't. God straight up
took the pleasure out of smoking from her, so she stopped and was baptized with
her husband and daughter! (her son is being a little rebellious so we are going
to have to teach him more so he can gain a testimony)
crazy, crazy week, i´ve never felt the spirit so strong in
my life as i had this past week, because even with this miraculous show of priesthood
power she STILL was scared of making the covenant of baptism, so we taught her
every day with members and even brought Al to bear his testimony to
her, She could not deny the power of the Spirit of the witnesses of so many
things and got baptized!!!!
Love you all, i Know that this church is true, i´ve seen too
many miracles to not believe
