Anthony and his son Marcus were baptized this past weekend! |
It's been another great week filled
with many evidences of God's hand! I don't have a ton of time this
week, so I want to quickly share some experiences relating to one of the
people I've been blessed work with here.
This past Sunday
was fast and testimony meeting at church, which allows anyone from the
congregation to come up and share their testimony (what they've come
to know is true relating to God and his Gospel). The last person to come
up and speak ended up speaking much past the usual time that the meeting
ends. When they finished speaking, I expected the Brother conducting
the meeting to stand and close things up. But instead, the bishop told
him to stay sitting, and we all sat there in awkward silence, watching
the clock tick away. I was confused, as I'm sure the rest of the
congregation was. Then suddenly, one of our 15-year-old investigators
stood up and walked up to the podium. She gave the most pure, beautiful
testimony I've ever heard, and basically the entire congregation was
bawling. When I asked the bishop afterward why he hadn't let the meeting
end, he said he had no idea. All he knew was the Spirit had told him
that there was still one more. That experience really strengthened my
own testimony that as we follow the promptings that God sends our way,
we'll see miracles.
This week, please continue
to make Light the World a priority. I've started to see it bless
people's lives already and can't wait to see the blessings and miracles
continue! I love and pray for you all! Thanks for your wonderful
examples!
