A Baptismal Date!
Hey everyone! I've heard the weather has been pretty cold for the Utah folks. For me, its been around the fifties most of the time. Supposedly that's as cold as it gets here. I guess thats the desert for ya. Things were going pretty slowly this week until last night. We set a baptismal date! It was such a miracle. On Tuesday, we received a call from the Patriarch. He told us he had been home teaching a part-member family, and the nonmember husband had been sitting in on all of the lessons they had been teaching them. He decided to teach them the missionary lessons, and the lessons had a profound effect on the nonmember (Bro. P). He called us and asked to begin teaching him. We had our first lesson with him last night. He and his wife are an older couple. His wife has been an active member her whole life. He had been telling his wife for years that he would never join our church. Last night though, he told us that he had been reading the Book of Mormon, and he asked God if it was true. Tears filled up his eyes as he said "Its true. I've had the truth right in front of my eyes and I never knew it until now." We challenged him to be baptized on December 11, and he accepted! When we left that appointment, I felt so incredible. I haven't felt that much joy in a long time. God had given us yet another miracle. How grateful I am to know that our Father in heaven is a God of miracles, and that miracles have not ceased. I will serve Him forever, with all of my might, for truly that is how He always serves us, from the very beginning of time until the end. I love the Lord so much. I don't know where I would be without Him. How truly blessed we all are to know the truth. I am eternally grateful to Him, and I always will be. I hope you are all continuing to see God's hand in your lives. I promise you, He is there. He never leaves or forsakes us. When we feel the most alone, that is truly when He is the closest to us. I know this is true. I love you all and hope everything is going well for all of you!
