(Elder Slade)
To the best friends and family an person could hope for!
This was one of the best weeks of my mission! First of all,
Genesea got baptized! It was such a great baptism! Genesea has been a joy to
teach, as she just absorbs everything you teach her and has a great sense of
humor. Later that afternoon, we also had the opportunity to take the
Villanueava family who was baptized last year to the temple to do baptisms for
the dead! It was a really neat experience!
Then Sunday was a day filled with miracles! It started in
the afternoon when we got on our knees and prayed with a girl named Jazzy, who
we've been teaching, that her parents would allow her to be baptized. The
spirit was so strong and it was one of the best lessons I've had! One of the
coolest moments on my mission!! Then we went to our dinner appointment, and
committed one of the kids to ask her friend to be taught. We got a text later
that night that said she reached out, and she wants to be taught the
discussions!! Then later we had a lesson with a previously taught person. In
the past he's been too nervous to get baptized. But he's been starting to come
to church again, and he said he wants to be baptized, and so we put him on date
for the next few weeks! His sister wants to be baptized as well and we are
planning on putting her on date the next lesson we have!
I know that miracles are real! And God has the power to
perform miracles in our lives! 2 Nephi 27:23 says:
For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will
show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I
work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith.
As we exercise our faith, God has the power to perform
miracles in our behalf and move the mountains and challenges in our lives! Turn
to Him and He will help you in your life!
Love you all! I appreciate all of your love and support!
