New life

GREAT WEEK

We had the baptism of the Hernandez family and everything went great

they all shared their testimonies about how they have felt like the

church is exactly where they belong and they have found new life in

Jesus Christ. They are so excited about the changes they have seen in

their lives and are so happy. They always tell us that we are their

two little angels.

Today sister Hanson got transferred so yesterday she had to say

goodbye to some of the investigators and members. It was sad and we

cried but she is serving close so she will be on an exchange here soon

and everything will be good.

We saw a great miracle this week as we taught with a recent convert

member of our branch. She is 16 years old and loves to come teaching

with us and we love to have her she's the best. Anyways so we are

teaching two of her best friends and their families and one of these

families has been to church twice and are reading in the Book of

Mormon but we have struggled to help them set a baptismal date. We

received revelation that we needed to first extend a date to the

daughter that's 15 and then the rest of the family will follow her

example. Following this revelation we prepared a lesson on repentance

and baptism and took our little member friend. It was amazing!!! The

member extended the baptismal date of April 9th to her best friend and

the best friend agreed to set that as a goal. Then the member assured

her that she would be there with her the whole way to help prepare her

for that day. They are both so excited and we are also filled with joy

to see these two friends working together to grow closer to their

Savior.

Today our president told us to write him something that we love about

Jesus Christ and the first thing that I thought of was LOVE. I love

his love. Yesterday I was reading in Moroni 7 about charity and

thought of my Savior and his perfect love. He loves us all no matter

who we are, where we come from He loves us, when we sin or fall short

He loves us. He is filled with love for all of His brothers and

sisters and as we follow his example and plead for charity we will be

filled with that love.

I love you all and I'm grateful for this week to reflect on the

atonement of Jesus Christ. I know he lives and I love representing

Him.

Love always, Hermana Koelliker
