Gaerwen Week 21

This week has been full of miracles. Our friends are progressing so much and we have definitely seen the Lord's hand in the work. Our most progressing friend at the moment is Laura Stone. She was taught by missionaries years ago and 3 of her sons were baptized but she never was because of challenges in her life. We had tried to stop by her house every few weeks but it turns out we were knocking on the wrong house. Last week, a member in the area directed us to her house and we were able to talk with Laura and her son Gethin. They had both felt recently that they needed to return to church and Laura's situation had changed to allow her to be baptized. We visited again this week and she accepted the invitation to be baptized on March 23rd. We reviewed the baptismal interview questions and she already believes that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that The Book of Mormon is the word of God. She is excited to be baptized in a few weeks. It seems that she has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Our friend Morgan is also doing really well. We weren't able to meet with him this week but we've been communicating via email and he said he's been having a lot of success
with prayer. He says he's been having a hard time recently but that he has been comforted through praying to God. His Faith in Christ is definitely growing. We are meeting with him again this week.

We also had zone conference and exchanges with the STL's this week. Sister Viteri, one of my previous companions, is one of my STL's so it was so fun to be able to see her. I worked with Sister Paschen for the day and it was an amazing experience. It is always so good to be able to learn from their examples. At zone conference we also talked about how we can improve our companionship and personal study. We talked about how when we seek and write down promptings from the spirit, we are inviting further revelation into our lives. I know that when we seek the guidance of the spirit that we will always be guided in the right direction.
