This week was beautiful!
Sunny, yet chilly! Either I got sun burnt or my face is a little chapped from the freezing wind from the other night... hmm!
I loved this week, it was up and down, with faith trials and challenges to being more BOLD!
Started out with a lesson with Sofia! Sister Kay had me do a few things to lead the lessons and be more like the senior companion. So, at the beginning of the lesson, I said, "Sofia, We had a lesson this past week with Savannah..." and she started blushing!! (She and Savannah are best friends!) I continued saying, "..we invited her to be baptized in about a month and a half, and we were thinking you could be baptized at the same time!" Before I even ended the sentence she was smiling ear to ear and nodding her head! :D She really wants to get baptized, so we asked her to finally ask her mom if she can! Then on Wednesday Sister Kay invited William, Sofia's little brother, to ask his mom when he can be baptized! This Saturday we got a text from Brother Bertoldo saying, "Rosa gives consent for Sofia & William to be baptized!!" Do you know what this means?? It means we have 3 upcoming baptisms, a Christmas miracle!! :D
I know that the Lord's work keep moving forward! This Gospel is the truest thing on this earth! I love the Bertoldo family and all that they and sister Kay have taught me! :)
I feel this scripture really fits:
(This is when Alma is preaching to the people through out his land)
Alma 5:12-14, 26
12 And according to his faith there was a mighty change wrought in his heart. Behold I say unto you that this is all true.
13 And behold, he preached the word unto your fathers, and a mighty change was also wrought in their hearts, and they humbled themselves and put their trust in the true and living God. And behold, they were faithful until the end; therefore they were saved.
14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts.
26 And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?"
Another thing that happened this week is that we have 3 new people being taught and they are pretty cool people! I am excited to see where we go with them! :0 Marchello & Bob and Krista! Also, a recent convert came to church, the one that we have been giving the sacrament to at a members house!
Biggest lesson from this week is that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is saving people's souls. Why aren't we bold about it and devastated when others don't keep commitments like read the Book of Mormon?
I love you all and pray that we can all find the Love of God and share it with others! <3
Always Love & Make it Count,
