It has been a week full of miracles! We have seen a lot of miracles, espcially with our friend Mary. We first met Mary last Monday but she has laready progressed so much. We taught her the Plan of Salvation and her only comment was "it all makes sense". The Plan of Salvation does make sense! God is our loving Heavenly Father and it only makes sense that he would plan a way for us to progress and return to him. As Mary prayed about the Plan of Salvation, she said that she felt all of her fears and anxieties diminish. It strengthened my testimony of the power of the Spirit in helping us to become converted. We invited Mary to be baptized yesterday and she accepted! We are working towards March 9th as a goal.
We also were able to attend the new member fireside in Chorley yesterday. Every first sunday of the month, the mission holds a fireside were those who have recently been baptized share their experiences. Moruf, our friend who was baptized at the end of December, was able to go and share his experience. I was most amazed at the dramatic change it made in each person's life as they accepted Jesus Christ into their life. One man shared that the biggest difference for him was the weight that lifted as he was forgiven for his sins. Another woman shared that she was finally able to feel the love that Heavenly Father had for her. Each was from a different background and circumstance but it helped each person in their own unique way. The Gospel of Jesus Christ truly does bless individuals and families.
This week we will also receive our transfer calls. My companions, Sister Colinares, is returning to the Philippines so I will most likely stay in gaerwen and receive a new companion. I love the Gaerwen area so i am excited to work here for another 6 weeks.
