15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one SOUL unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
Have you guessed it? ... SOUL IS DATED FOR BAPTISM!!!
Yup it was a miracle! To be honest, we were so afraid that he wasn’t keeping commitments so what happened was... we went in for a word of wisdom lesson, he was already taught it before but we decided to teach it again because we were pretty sure if not positive he wasn’t keeping it. So, we started talking and he told us that he was a huge smoker... 5 months ago. Apparently, when the sisters taught him that smoking was wrong he didn’t stop straight away. He went to church that Sunday and before he went in he had a smoke. When he was inside the building, he just felt this overwhelming feeling that it was wrong and he has stopped ever since. He said he still drinks occasionally but we were just like that is a huge step forward!! And so now he is dated for January 19! Super exciting!
Then we had this trend going on this week with people telling us to read and open our hearts to the bible... We kept on telling them that we have the bible and read it frequently haha. But I think they thought that our bible was the Book of Mormon. But there was one man who we talked to that was a tad bit drunk. He came up to us and was just like,”Why do you believe in a God?” And we told him haha. He was lightly bashing us, not too much but by the end of the conversation he really wanted to learn more! We gave him a Book of Mormon and he wants to meet with us again!
We had zone conference this week and the mission presidents wife focused a lot on giving our will to the Father. They gave us this talk called,”Swallowed Up in the Will of the Father”. It’s super good! Totally recommend. But at the end she challenged all of us to find something to “put on the altar”so that we can become better. It just made me think of Soul and all other that I have taught and seen become members of the church. Some of them give up so much to become members but the change that I see makes them become so much better because they are coming unto Christ. I’m so truly blessed to be a missionary at this time. It seriously is the best. I know that this church is true without a shadow of a doubt and I know that if we do continually change throughout our lives to become more like Christ, we will be truly happy😊 I love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
