“Don’t count your days—make your days count.”
- Jay Jensen
For one, we did not have the best numbers like the week before. BUT, we did help many people to start/restart on a path towards our beloved Heavenly Father. We had a cool experience yesterday that I'd like to share because I'm really short on time.
We were walking towards a lesson we had set with an investigator to help him progress towards a baptismal date and to re-set a date with him, but as we got there, he wasn't home... surprise as a missionary. So, we went to another investigator who actually lives just right across the street, and we were able to go right in. We taught and they committed to come to church (not this week but the next) and to come to a baptismal service that we will have in the chapel this weekend. We finished the lesson and left. As we walked out and were going down the street, we ran into our other investigator and had a 5 minute lesson with him there in the street about faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Right there, he accepted to be baptized on a new date. We were able to answer all of his questions and doubts in a flawless manner (in my opinion), all in 5 minutes!! It was amazing!
We then went to another lesson we had planned with a member and her daughter who had not been baptized. Another member came with us to teach the little girl about baptism, and it was so great. She said that she wanted to be baptized because it is what Jesus would want.
It was a great day for sure! I can't believe all the miracles that I get to be a part of as a missionary! It has been amazing, and I love this work so much! I hope you all have a great week and strive to follow the savior as He would have you do. I know that Christ loves every single one of you, and I know that His church has been restored through a modern-day prophet. I'm so glad to be here, and I love you all!
