Sheryl's Baptism

Well it was an interesting week; full of fun and good things, but first my random thought of the day… Did you know that it can rain without a rain cloud in the sky?  it gets so humid that the water in the air gets so heavy that it just starts to fall so therefore you have falling water when the sun is out….. we were walking during this and it was so hot as well that we couldn’t tell the differents between the rain and sweat on us…. It was gross but funny.

            This week we were able to teach Crystal one lesson and we had left a plan of salvation pamphlet and asked her to do the scripture study in the back using her bible and book of Mormon and then at the start of the lesson we asked her what she had learned and she just started teaching the plan of salvation to us, all the way to the spirit world and the kingdoms of glory and that was because she didn’t have a king James version of the bible but a new world translation version we taught and she was really excited about how much the gospel makes sense. She is still having a hard time with getting work off on Sundays but she is working on it.  And we are praying for her next week =)

            Also another great thing is that Sheryl got baptized on Sunday!!! She has been a good friend to a resent convert and really wanted to be baptized with the only thing holding her back was her fear of water. She had prayed about it and knew she needed to be baptized on the 24^th and so she was! But I felt really bad because they filled the water to the fullest it could so they could make sure that they would only need to be baptized her once but when she went under a part of her dress came up…. And I was one of the witnesses and was the one that said she had to do it again. She was really scared but the Lord helped her out and she was able to do it again! Also another great thing was that she had her  husband come to all of church and also to the baptism and you could see the spirit work in him. I don’t think it will be to long before he wants to learn more and the thing that’s great about the Rocky Mount ward is that they will just make friends right away. It has just been wonderful! 

Well those are the big things in my week! You’re all so great and I love you all so much!! I hope you have a great week and God be with you till we e-mail again...hahaha

Your friend
