Dear Family
and Friends,
This week
flew by!!! I feel like I haven’t slept in a year haha but it is so worth it! We
had a miracle on Saturday with the Baptism of Jamile :) She was glowing and so
ready :) It really put into perspective yet again for me that our father in
Heaven really does love us. He loves Jamile so much and prepared her for this
time. Yesterday, when she received the Holy Ghost, in her blessing, she was
promised that she would always have the strength to be a light for her family
and friends. She most certainly is and I am so proud of her decision to enter
Christ's church. Camilie is preparing to be baptized in a few weeks and we are
excited for her :)
We also had a
wonderful miracle yesterday that was combined with a miracle during the week.
We had received a reference to visit kyle and he was so ready. He mentioned
that he has been visiting the church every Wednesday night for more than two
years, but never had missionaries teach him. We talked with him and when I
asked why he wanted baptized in the church he replied "I never was invited!".
I think my chin almost touched the ground. We taught him and he accepted a
baptismal date without a question. Then yesterday we called to confirm that he
would be going to church and he said yes everything was good to go. it was a
little bit before church started and my comp felt impressed to call him. We
called and he said that he wouldn’t be going to church because he didn’t have a
way to get there. We quickly arranged a way and he loved the church service and
was so excited. I know that the spirit was testifying to him and my comp
yesterday.
I love this
work and the miracles that we are seeing. Yes it is hard work, are there are
lots of moments of disappointment (one investigator snuck out his window
yesterday and didn’t want to talk to us), but the miracles and spiritual
moments make every effort worth it.
I hope that
you are all doing well! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers!
Love always,
Sister Sender
