This week was Glorious. So many good and positive things.
I
can see that you all had a great week as well. Mom, that is so unreal
that you saw Sister Lee at the MTC. I am so happy. I prayed for you to
run into her!
My companion and I have been sick with a pretty bad cold, but we have been working hard and seeing so many miracles.
Yesterday
was incredible. Our investigator was baptized and the
baptismal service went really well. The Spirit was strong and he was so
excited to be baptized.
We met him while we were fasting
about six weeks ago from today. He accepted all the lessons with a humble
and pure heart and his desire to follow the Savior Jesus Christ was very
big. He is a great example to me and I know that the Lord sent him to
us. God hears and answers our prayers.
(Baptism held on Easter Sunday.)
Yesterday,
also, I had the opportunity to bear my testimony in Sacrament Meeting. I
had no idea what I wanted to say, but I got up there and the Spirit gave
me exactly what I needed in that moment.
I shared two very
special experiences that I have had on my mission that have come from
fasting. They both resulted in baptisms and I felt the Spirit very
strong. Each of the members felt a strong Spirit, of that which I felt.
After the meeting, one of our amazing members approached me and invited us to fast with her to help her husband be baptized.
Before,
she never wanted the missionaries to teach her husband because she was
scared, but as we have been praying and asking how he is doing, she has
gained our trust and wants to do a fast with us.
Her heart
was opened and she told us that after the fast we can decide according
to how we feel if we will start the lessons with him. She handed us over
her trust, and we are really excited to fast with her this week. She is
the best. (Mom, this is the family with the two kids that we went to Costco with a few times).
I love you all and pray for you each day.
PACE.
Pray
for me. Big week! We have Zone Conference and we might have another
baptism! A huge miracle will happen this week! We are inviting our other
investigator who came out to the baptismal service yesterday to be
baptized this week! He has been out to church three times and he told us
yesterday he wants to be baptized! He is 18 years old and we have to get
his mother's permission, (which should be okay because she came out to
church as well a few weeks ago). He is the man and we are really close
to each other.
(Elder Johnson stated: "We had MLC (Missionary Leader Conference)
this week in Daejeon.")

I love you!
