this week i was kinda discouraged cause just hearing about all the baptisms of other missionaries and how i dont have many, i just felt really low, sad, and not very worth much.... but i decided to kneel down and pray and ask for help from my Savior. After my prayer, i sat down and started to read preach my gospel, and the first thing I read when opened the book was, "Invite others to come unto Christ." this penetrated my heart deeply, i am not here to just baptize, i am here to INVITE!! in that moment i came to understand that the things that happen here are because God wants them happen, he knows what i need to grow, the baptisms that we have had are special to me, i grew so much in my testimony about the power of prayer that day! i am so greatful for this gospel. from then on i have had a different vision about this work, life and the gospel! i feel more confident in myself and my Father in Heaven!!
So on thursday this week we went and took some pictures after an appointment. as we were sitting there taking pictures we got a call from a member and he tells us, "elders, after a long time of discussing with my wife (who isn't a member) and after this long time my daughter can get baptized!!!"" we were like..... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH it was a huge blessing that fell from the sky! she is 9 years old and is amazing!! really smart and super sweet!! so we have a baptism this week and we will see what happens with her mom!! she will change!!:) it was an amazing expereince!!
