We had the most beautiful baptism this week of Candy and her children.
A week ago we knew that Candy was planning to be baptized Saturday but
her kids hadn't decided yet they told us that they didnt know if they
were ready yet so we were praying and praying and miracles happened. A
member talked with the kids about how baptism is just the start and
how we wont know everything before baptism but it is the gate that we
can enter to keep growing our knowledge and our faith.
Anyways...wednesday we went to teach them with Sister Schmitt and
Candy was like "Ana and Sammy have a surprise for you" so were like
what??? and ana said "me and sammy are going to get baptized with my
mom" I jumped and hugged ana and sister garcia was crying and same
with candy it was amazing the spirit filled the room. We had to teach
them like all of the lessons like super fast and they had their
interviews and then Saturday was amazing!!!
The bishop and everyone was there early cleaning and setting up and it
all went perfectly. Her son thats serving a mission in Washington
right now got to skype in and see the whole meeting. At the end he
shared his testimony and congratulated them and it was the sweetest
thing in the whole world- Candy also shared her testimony about how
great of an example her son is to her and how happy she is to have the
gospel in her life and in her family.
After they were baptized we were in the hall just waiting for a minute
and i was pondering about how grateful I am for a loving Heavenly
Father that allows us to be apart of miracles like these. To be able
to see this family accept the gospel and be baptized was a priceless
experience that I will never forget. God is so good to us and allows
us to be apart of His work. I love being a missionary!
