Hi family!
As always, I don't know where to begin.
Brother M has had a wonderful week as a
member of the church.
We were surprised this week to be
informed that C (S's husband) has decided to be baptized! S was
baptized in September. C will be baptized this Saturday.
Parting-the-red-sea-kind-of-miracle? Yes!
This week we have met several new
investigators!
Recent converts are doing well.
Another miracle: (the power of fasting
is very, very real)
Yesterday my companions and I decided
to fast specifically for L. We were seeking guidance of how to help
her understand the need for being baptized into this church by
Christ's true authority.
We had thought she was going to come to
church, but were sad to see she didn't come. But while we were there,
another sister in the ward (who became facebook friends with L) said
that L had messaged her and told her she couldn't come to church
because she needed to go pick up her daughter or something, but that
she would definitely come next week. So we felt better. Later that
evening, at about 6pm, we wanted to visit her. We sent her a text and
asked if we could stop by that night, she said yes, and we asked if
we could come by right then, and she said yes! We got there, and she
was waiting outside on her porch. She asked if we had gotten her
texts. We hadn't! She showed us on her phone. She had texted us
several times, telling us that she wasn't going to be able to come to
church because her daughter needed her, but apparently our phone is
having some problems! She asked, "Did you get my text about June
14th?" We said no... She said something along the lines of,
"Well, I've decided to go through with being baptized! I want to
do it!" She then explained more to us, asked what it all
entails, and said, "I am committed to this baptism!"
So many incredible things happening! As
always, the windows of heaven are open, and the Lord is directing His
work!
This coming week we have exchanges. I
will be leaving Merrilltown for the first time! (even my one exchange
back when I was in the Mount Bonnell ward, I went to Merrilltown on
the exchange, so I've never actually left Merrilltown for an
exchange!)
I love this work! I love this area! I
love these people!! And I love Christ and His gospel! We are so
blessed! I can even comprehend how good and merciful our Father in
Heaven is.
I love y'all and hope you continue
having wonderful weeks!
Love,
Sister Greenall
Danica reports to the MTC in how many
