Hermana Drew: Abraham's Baptism

MOM!

Don´t worry about your letters! Honestly I love listening about what is happening at home and a lot of the times I have forgotten who the people are that are engaged so no worries there! Also I reeeeeeaaaaaaallly love hearing about your spiritual experiences in work and the church and everything! Your letters are great I love them!

This week was great! We worked so hard! I love that my companion loves to work and we have seen a lot of the fruits of our work! This past week we were able to see the baptism of Abraham! He has progressed so much in the gospel and almost didn´t make it to his baptism. We were teaching him everything and we got to the last lesson and all of the sudden he said that he didn´t want anything to do with us or the church. I was devastated! I didn´t know what I did but we told him just to pray and to go to church this Sunday and we will see what happens. BUT he didn´t show up to church that Sunday. We were so sad. So that week we went to find him again and we decided to use the questions of the soul section from Preach My Gospel. The chapter that he chose was amazing and by the end of the visit he decided that he did want to be baptized! I love when investigators find their answers in the book of Mormon! I hope that every single one of us can do the same and find the answers to our questions!

This next week we are going to have Stake Conference! I am excited because President Whitehead is going to come! The Branch is excited and they are working on finding someone to bring to the conference! This area has changed so much since the first time I got here! I love watching the progress of so many people!

Just to close I want to share my testimony that I know that Christ lives! I know that He knows us perfectly and He knows what we need! I know that He directs the church and that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet called of God. The Atonement has always had a special part in my heart. I never thought that He suffered for our pains and sufferings but the moment that I learned that He did I have learned that I use the Atonement in every aspect of my life. This week we baptized Abraham who had a past full of sins. Things that I never thought He did but something that my companion told me is that before he was baptized he needed to know who is Christ for him. I love that she thought of that and I think that it is true with every single investigator. Every convert and member in the Church needs to know who is Christ for themselves. I invite every one of you to find out who Christ is for you.

LOVE;

Hermana Drew
