This week is my final week to find people to baptize before I depart, the pressure is on! We have quite the line up of people being baptized in the next couple of weeks, so we are excited about that. Yesterday we had a very interesting testimony mtg, we had 2 older black women get up and bear their testimony and they both had Baptist backgrounds. It felt like we were at a Baptist church listening to preachers, it was one of the best testimony mtgs i've witnessed!
we also had a miracle at church! Our investigator Michael came and after sacrament we were walking out of the chapel and this lady flags us down. It took a second to recognize her but she was a lady that we had prayed with the night before! (Her name is Beverly) She was completely not interested when we prayed with her, but she said she woke up and felt like she needed to come visit the church. (We had left a church invite with her) I had the opportunity to bear my testimony last and I bore it simply on the restoration and the Book of Mormon. Beverly asked if we could stop by and talk more about Joseph Smith and the BofM, she was really interested! It was awesome! I learned a couple of lessons from this experience.
1."the worth of every soul is great in the eyes of God." If we hadn't given Beverly every opportunity to accept the Gospel Saturday night she wouldn't have come to church. I learned that it is essential to give it all you got at every door approach, we're planting seeds with everyone we talk to.
2. Bear your testimony whenever possible. Beverly was so interested in Joseph Smith and the BofM simply because of the testimony I shared during Sacrament mtg. which allowed to Spirit to touch her heart and spark the interest. I learned that there is power in bearing testimony.
Nothing too interesting happened this past week, just another week!
Love you!
