So.. This
past week was so amazing! We saw miracles like nobody's business! First off,
JOHN AND SHARON got BAPTIZED!!!!!!! I am so incredibley happy for them! They
have lived a very very rough life and to be able to see the change and growth
within them is such a blessing to me to be apart of. The whole baptismal
service and just that whole day was filled with miracles. The man that baptized
them was from Grants Pass! And guess what?!?! He's from the Redwood ward- the
ward I just finished serving in!!! When I walked in the door, he and his wife
(The Pearson's) both were so surprised and so was I :D Brother Pearson teared
up and thanked me for being on a mission. He said that this was one of the
happiest days of his life. He had hoped and prayed that he would live to see
the day John and Sharon enter the waters of baptism. It was such a sweet sweet
experience! One I will never forget.
Another miracle that happened at the baptism is when John and Sharon's brand new friend (they met her and her husband 3 days before the baptism) showed up and told us that she wanted to join the church. She said that she has been searching for a long time for a place where she could find hope and told us the moment she walked into the church building she knew that she had found the hope that she had been searching for, for so long. We have an appointment with her and her husband tomorrow!
Then the same night of the baptism we got a phone call from a member telling us that they want us to meet her friend! He has a lot of questions and would like to meet with us! We are so stoked! We also met a man named Tony for the first time on Wednesday and he was very open and receptive to the message of the Restoration. He accepted the invitation to be baptized on the 5th of March!! AND Janet (from Ghana) is getting baptized this weekend!! I seriously cannot wait for you to meet this cute little family! They are the BEST! They said they want to feed us dinner sometime and showed us some pictures of food from Ghana! It looked... interesting! I'll let you know how it goes. Haha!
OH! And one of my friends from High School wants to learn more about the gospel so I will be teaching them online! Things are definitely happening and it's a testimony to me that the Lord truly is hastening His work. I am so grateful to be apart of it!

I can't
explain how happy I am and how much I love my Savior. The tender mercies I see
each day are evidence of his perfect love and I know that our Father in Heaven
and Christ are in every detail of our lives. He cares for each and every one of
us and is there always. I am so grateful for this gospel and for the person I
am becoming because of it. I know with all of my being that the Atonement of
Jesus Christ is real and that it is only through him that we can have true
peace. I love my mission and all that I am learning.
I am so grateful to you for all that you do for me. I hope that you and the rest of the family are doing well and that you are happy. I hope you know how much I love you. Have the greatest week!
