It was great and she was so happy...

Um… today's random thought… this is getting harder every week…. Did you know that God created everything!?!.....did you know that sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest things you can eat? (And as for you people from the west a sweet potato is what you call yams)… well there you go ha ha.

              So Sunday sister Shirley was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! And was given the gift of the Holy Ghost! It was great and she was so happy, I'm looking forward to having a follow up lesson with her and asking how she feels now! I just love it when new members are able to bear testimony on the power of the Holy Ghost, how different it feels and the overwhelming joy that it is in their lives.

              We had a 2 lessons this week with sister Crystal. As we talked we asked her about how she was doing and she told us that when she was at work the other day there was a person that came in and started to ask her about her religion. She started telling her about how she was becoming a Latter-day Saint and bearing her testimony about the book of Mormon and how the church is true. As we kept on visiting and teaching her the last few commandments she reset her baptismal date for next week. She said she needs to get baptized and that she really wants to. The only thing that is still sort of in the way is that she has not told her dad that she wants to be baptized. He knows that she has been meeting with us a lot but she was still worried about what he was going to think. She said that either way she is getting baptized and we just got a text this morning telling us that she is going to tell him today. Tomorrow she is having her interview.

               This all is such a testimony to me on the importance of members doing the finding and helping their friends all the time, because I know that we wouldn’t have found Sister Martin without members, and that she would not have the support system that she has had to keep her going. It has just been great!

            Now we are going to be working on finding new investigators because we are just running out of investigators as they are becoming new members… it’s a nice problem to have but I know that there is still a lot of people out there that need the gospel.

        I hope you all have a great week and that you will have fun.  Stay safe and good looking! Ha ha
