Boomshakalaka!

Great week, got to know a a lot of new people!

C took the step and was baptized! It was a beautiful service this family will forever hold a special place in my heart. I will always remember sitting in the middle of that amazing family and leading them through the verses of families can be together forever.

The whole night was like a dream, all made possible through the Lord. The more I throw myself into this work, the more I study, the more I realize that I do nothing. Nothing I can do or say can actually convert people to the Lord. I simply can watch Him work miracles and steadily support, love, and change lives. I cannot believe honestly what blessings I have to be in this gospel. It doesn't make sense sometimes, but that doesn't make it any less true. We have the great blessing and obligation to share this great message.

We ran into this lady who stopped us and and demanded that we let her buy us coca colas. Oh my goodness, one of the most loving old women I've ever met. She must have had sever Alzheimer's because she told us the same 3 stories probably 10 times in the space of 30 mins. She then pulled out a dozen evangelical novels to show us, that she was carrying with her mind you, and explained each. We will have another visit with her, she showed a lot of interest in the book of Mormon, that is if she remembers us. I have faith:)
