More great news.

Sister Chen's Baptism!
Best thing ever?  My last companion Sister Chang told me that an investigator that we had been meeting with was going to get baptized on Friday!  She had actually met with missionaries on and off with missionaries for many years.  Her family was already baptized, and she always came to church and kept the commandments.  She was just trying to figure out why she needed to be baptized.  Our meeting with her was with the hopes of giving her little spiritual boosts so that she could receive the answer she needed.  But, her answer came when she watched General Conference.  The Spirit spoke to her and she decided to be baptized.  Luckily I didn't move very far and was able to attend.  

But, even better was that our investigator was also able to attend.  I feel like the experience really helped to become more curious and accepting of the idea of maybe one day being baptized.

It was a great day.  :)

We've been really blessed with people coming and asking us about the church.  I feel like it really is a huge blessing for the Lord.  Because we haven't had many investigators recently, we've been doing A LOT of finding.  Tracking, park contacting, street contacting, you name it, but it had been feeling like no matter how many prayers we do to find someone prepared to hear the message of the Restoration, no one wanted to listen.  If anything we had met a number of people that tried convincing us that we were an evil church, or that only the Bible is real and they only need the Bible.  In my moments of weakness, there was always a miracle.  Whether it be a walk-in wanting to know more, or some one who calls us, or a sudden referral.  It's a comfort and a witness to me that the truly is the Lord's work.

Okay, well that's all for now folks.  Until next time.
