(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family a person could hope for!
Justin got baptized this week!! It was an amazing baptism,
and I felt great joy in seeing him take that step. If you remember, Juston is
the man who has talked with missionaries for the past 5 years or so, yet has
never pulled the trigger on baptism. He just recently made the decision to be
baptized. The title comes from someone who gave a talk at the baptism. Justin
is a big man, that looks pretty intimidating, but really he is just a lovable
teddy bear! 😂
We had another miracle this week, as we were able to find
two new kids to teach named Mousey and Aiden. Mousey lives basketball, and we
started teaching him by shooting some hoops with him, and Elder Thomas
connected with him over Naruto, and then we started talking with him about the
gospel, and he got really excited! He ran in side, came out with his wallet,
and showed us a picture of Jesus Christ on the bag. He told us that he wanted
to start being taught, and has recently been thinking about baptism!! Later we
found his brother as well! Pretty exciting things!
We also had zone conference this week! A man named Chris
Mabrey from Pennsylvania spoke to us, and he told us how the gospel is a party!
He referred to the parable of the lost sheep, and shared Luke 15:6 "And
when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying
unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost." I
feel joy every day because I get to help bring in these lost sheep, and I know
that Heavenly Father rejoices when any one of us is found and brought back into
His loving fold. I know He loves us, and is active in our lives!
Love yall!
