This week we were able to have another baptism! It was for
Susan Loftus. In one of our lessons she informed me that she has found this
blog and that she was reading it, so Susan congrats again! :) Like I have said
before it has been really neat to see how Susan has developed a faith in Jesus
Christ from not having much of a religious background. I am certain this came
from her many hours in the Book of Mormon. When we met her, she was in the
beginning of first Nephi. She is now approaching the middle of Alma and it has
just been over a month. The baptism was a sweet experience. Susan's friend
spoke about baptism in tears about Susan's decision. She also spoke about how
you can never underestimate your example to others around you; How true that
is. Susan will be going to Salt Lake this weekend to visit some friends and we
have been bugging her about making it to temple square. We told her to approach
a missionary there and say "hey I was baptized last week can you show me
around?" :) If you are reading this Susan you should go! I am grateful to
see so much Success as I put the cap-stone on my mission experience. I look
forward to the coming weeks for additional miracles. :) We have a few who we
felt like we have been losing lately. We had one where the fellowshipper said
that our investigator wouldn't talk to us again. He came to church and we will
be teaching him on Tuesday! We were happily surprised. I hope all is well for
you with everything. You should watch one of these videos on this site and bind
yourself to act.( https://www.lds.org/training/wwlt/2013/hastening/members-and-missionaries?lang=eng) Do
something to help the work of God go forward. If I am reading this down the
road a ways, I have a message for myself: What have you done for the Lord
lately? Hopefully I will be able to answer that question without hesitation.
Have a great day.
