Kaelani got baptized this Saturday!!!! Man, what a beautiful
experience. Super stressful and we had some complications with who was going to
preside and conduct and our pianist not showing...... but...... even after all
that, she has been baptized and was confirmed a member of the church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints the next day. The spirit was so strong. It has been cool
to ponder about how much Kaelani has benefited from the gospel. She has grown
and changed a ton since when we first met her. She is a lot more confident and
just overall happier. It truly was a humbling experience. She has asked me to
baptize her. Wow! I will never forget that day. The lord has used me and my companion
as instruments in helping her find the true and living gospel. I am so grateful
for that experience and will treasure it always. Now the next step for Kaelani
is the temple! So wish us luck! we are going to get her to do baptisms for the
dead :D
That was the big highlight of the week. The rest of the week
was spent preparing for the baptism and trying to find people and trying to
visit as many of our investigators as possible before they all head out of town
for the spring break! hahaha Arcata is going to become a ghost town again :D
yay........ Just got to mean we got to work extra hard to find those who are
ready to receive the gospel. Look out you lonely YSA we are coming to find
you!
Uhhhhh yeah...... I think this maybe it for my email. Short
one I know...... OH! Yall remember Daniel Robinson???? The guy who invited us
in and then proceeded to drink through the entire lesson???? WE GOT BACK IN
CONTACT WITH HIM! And guess what?!?! We set a baptismal date with him!! He said
he wants to change his life :D So we his baptismal date is in May so we have
some time to work on some things. so that was pretty exciting. So, pray for
Daniel that he can overcome all of his vices! :D
Funny story of the week. We knocked on this one dudes door
later in the evening and he came to the door, wow, higher than I kite man.
Bloodshot eyes like he had been smoking for a long while just blazed beyond
belief. Well he came to the door and we asked him if he wanted to hear a
message about Jesus Christ's ministry in the Americas and his eyes got all big
and he yelled really loud "JESUS CAME TO AMERICA???? D*** I NEED TO HEAR
THIS S***" so we proceeded to talk to him and teach him about the
restoration and the Book of Mormon. He was pretty enthralled. but said he
wasn't interested. Ahahah his name was Jerome. Good old Jerome.
Anyway, I think that’s it. I
love you all and wish you the best of weeks! God is real and he loves all of
you.
God is Good,
Cheers!
