This week was fantastic! We had lots of sunny days and success!
There was a baptism this week, a 12 year old girl who is being adopted into a member family. She took the initiative in asking us to teach her, and she is amazing!! She was baptized on Wednesday, and was able to enter the temple on Saturday. We were not able to be there, as the closest temple is 5 hours away, but she got up on Sunday and bore her testimony of the Spirit in the temple! She is showing the pamphlets to her friends, and they are interested in learning more! She is super sharp, and it's been great to work with her and other people.
This week I was reading in Jacob 5, the story about the olive trees in the vineyard. Just as this girl was adopted into a physical family, as we all get onto and walk the covenant path, we are grafted into the House of Israel. How cool is that!
Missionary work really is the most important work we can do, and it is very achievable through the tender mercies of the Lord. I love all of you!
Happy spring!!!
