Sounds crazy. . . Jennifer Graduating already! I only finished my freshman year. . .
but I've got some good news for everyone. . .
BATISMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally we were blessed with a baptism here in 3rd ward! After 4 months of not having any success.
my first week here me and Elder S talked with a man on the street, he had just got back from work so he was really tired so we marked another day to come back, and when we went back he wasn't at home. a week or two later we knocked on his door again and found him and his wife at home, we taught them the first lesson and they even accepted to be baptized when they receive an answer to their prayers that Joseph Smith was a prophet.
We returned for a follow up lesson and they lost interest, didn't read the book of Mormon, and said that they were going to another church so didn't want to learn more.
About a month later me and Elder S met the wife on the street and she said that her husband got sent to jail. We invited her to go to church so that God could help them resolve their problems. It was funny, we kept on seeing her in the street over the next two months or so and we kept inviting her to go to church. Finally, one Saturday night we were walking in front of her house and we saw her in the yard and invited her one more time to go to church. she said that she was praying so that she could find a lawyer to turn in some documents so that her husband could be released from jail and we said that if went to church we would introduce her to a lawyer in the ward.
So she went the next day and we introduced her to the lawyer, he couldn't really help, just point her in the right direction and give her some tips, and when she started to pay attention to the meetings she felt the spirit really strongly and wanted to always come back.
We then started teaching her and two of her kids, and a member family close by started to bring them to the church during the week to play soccer and volleyball, and the two kids started to really want to be baptized! But, only when her husband could watch, which means that he would have to get let out of jail.
Through a lot of prayer and reading of the scriptures the whole family developed more faith and after a few weeks, (this week) he got released!!
We baptized the two kids, and when the parents get married legally they can get baptized too!
só milagres!!!!
I’m very grateful for the Lord having helped us and that everything could go well for the kids to be baptized this week.
I love you all
