This week has been awesome! We had a pretty exciting week, and Tuesday made it all the better!
On Tuesday we had district council, and while we were having district council, one of the friends of the church that the sisters are teaching, who will also be getting baptized this Saturday, came in, and he watched our district council for a minute. After the council, I got to talk a lot with him about his preparation for baptism, and his story was wild! He went from not believing on God, partying, and smoking to being a willing follower of Christ in keeping His commandments all within the time span of 1 and a half years. He had his first experience with God a year in a half ago, when he just knew that God was there and that He loved him, and he prayed to God shortly thereafter asking God if God would send him other believers, and 2 days later he met the sisters. The rest is history!
While we were talking, I felt the spirit so strongly as he testified of what he had learned and how he had grown as a person, and I knew that he was ready to follow Jesus Christ into the waters of baptism. I know that his decision to follow the commandments of God, and his willingness to follow the example of Jesus Christ, will bless him throughout this life and the next. This gospel is REAL! and I know of its truthfulness, not only by my own understanding, but through voice of the Lord through the Holy Ghost.
I hope y'all had a great week, and that you enjoy the pictures!
