S15 E6: Hazlehurst to Brookhaven to Brandon to Baton Rouge to Clinton to Jackson

 (Elder Cummings)

So. I was all over the place this week with exchanges and temple trips, I'll just get right into it

We've been teaching a couple, Willie and Tracie. They're legit. We taught them at the White's house earlier this week and invited them to come down with the ward to see the Baton Rouge Temple.

So we take the 2.5 hour drive into BR with Brother Sisson and when we get there Willie and Tracie have been sitting in the temples Visitor Center for the last hour just soaking in the Spirit. From there we walk around the temple grounds and they love it. Then we go do a church tour at the stake center right next to it cause in Jackson we meet in a strip mall.

Willie kept asking about all the paintings and loved it when we explained them. His mind was blown with the painting of Jesus Christ knocking the door with no handle and the fact that we got open the door and let him in. We end in the chapel, testify of the Savior and the Sacrament and then have them sit in there while I played some Sacrament hymns.

Then from there we went to the Family History Center with Brother White and them and watched the Temple tour of the Washington DC temple. The Spirit was so strong and we invited them to be baptized. They asked if they could be baptized as soon as possible. So Willie and Tracie are planning to be baptized July 2. Please pray for them!

Then we watched some Book of Mormon videos with them and testified of it all and now Willie is stoked to receive the priesthood and Tracie is planning to be baptized for her mom in the temple at the end of July.

THEN from there we drove the 3 hours to Clinton to watch the baptism of our friend Sam with Willie and Tracie!! They were on top of the world and were telling everyone they met that they were getting baptized in two weeks!

Please please please pray for Willie and Tracie this week!!

Love yall and have a blessed one!
