Bomme le bontate,
This week was nothing short of miraculous. I know the Lord
lives. I wish I had the time to explain in great detail, but "time is not on my side" (Brother Kwame from Ghana).
We had an incredible week!! But I hate pizza now. Domino's
had a 50% off all pizzas for the whole week, and our district definitely abused
that... I don't think I can ever eat pizza again.. hahha!
This week we were VERY busy making preparations for our
baptisms yesterday. To tell a long story short, it was the best baptismal
service I have ever attended in my life!! Everybody was baptised despite
unforeseen challenges!! (Nice try, Satan.) All in all, Maseru branch had 10 baptisms!!
6 of which were from our area!! It was probably the best day of my entire
mission.
The Lord has blessed us beyond my imagination. I cannot
describe nor tell all of the ways in which He has blessed us, but they are all
manifested at the baptismal service yesterday. The Lord has poured out His
Spirit in abundance these past months!! Upon us, our investigators, the branch,
and this whole nation! The change that has occurred in this branch since I came
here is almost unbelievable!
When I got here the member support was iffy.. But yesterday
the chapel was PACKED at the service. It looked like sacrament meeting!!! After
the program ended, members and investigators hung around and chatted longer
than we stayed! It was all a miracle in our eyes.
The water was freezing cold, most people came out of the
water and ran into the bathroom hahha Even though it was funny, the Spirit was
absolutely with us. The BEST PART of the whole program, however, was the
testimonies of all those who were baptised. We had the privilege to listen to
all 10 bear powerful testimony of the Book of Mormon, of the power of the Holy
Ghost, and of the restored church of Jesus Christ. These people we baptised are
converted! That was the most heartwarming and fulfilling sense of it all. Not
the number of baptisms or the attendance, but the idea that we had a small role
to play in these people's coming to Christ and conversion to His gospel
is the most rewarding sense of this all.
I testify again that the Lord lives. He speaks to a prophet
on the Earth today! He communicates with US through His Holy Spirit. He
continues to work miracles among us, I have seen them and I cannot deny that
they come from Him! I know that this is the Lord's kingdom on the Earth today!
I know that this is His work and we are all enlisted!!
I can't express what I feel with words. But I'm happy. I
love this place so much and I love this work with all my heart.
