Well it was a great day
yesterday! Nate was baptized and it was great! He had his good friend
Sam baptize him (Sam has been a member for a year.) Something that was really cool
about the baptism was the fact that Nate invited all his friends and there was about
20 of them. All but 4 of them left right after Nate was baptized.
Then after the baptism we watched the restoration and then the ward missionary
leader, the bishop and Nate all bore strong testimonies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As this was going on I was just watching everyone and it was
amazing how everyone was so happy and how the spirit could be felt so strong. Then after it was all done Nate wanted two more copies of the book of Mormon
and a few pamphlets to give to his friends. It is so great to see
the changes he has made in his life and how much happier he is.
Then later that same day we had a lesson with William and he is
excited about his baptism on the 30th of this month. We talked a
little about where he is in life and he is finding more and more peace
through the gospel. A fun thing he said was when I asked him if he had his
book of Mormon with him and he said “I forgot it in the car because I was just
excited about the lesson” haha good thing I had an extra haha. It was a
really good lesson and he is doing great. He also gets a little brake from
baseball this week so he wants to meet more. We also found out that he wants to
bring one of his friends to church and is planning on it next week =)
Another great thing that happened that day was that a
non-member came to church. He was taking the lessons up in Virginia and
just moved down here. The other elders just taught him today and he is
ready to be baptized. So that was wonderful too.
Yesterday really made it a great week and I'm just so
happy about all the things that Lord is doing for us here. He is really
blessing us. It has just been great! I
love it here in Rocky Mount!
Thanks for all that you are doing I love you all!
