Many Mighty Miracles

Hi everyone!

This week has been so great! We saw so many wonderful miracles happen and were able to do a lot of good work here! It was fun and we worked hard, what could be better?!?!

On Tuesday we had a lesson with 3 of our investigators. We only had one more lesson to teach them before they had been taught everything. They are 12,11, &10 and all have been wanting to get baptized for a while. It was hard last transfer I guess to get a hold of the parents to set stuff up but we were finally able to go over for dinner and a lesson. While we were waiting for dinner, they mom of 2 of the kids asked us if the branch was having any activities on the 23rd, we said none that we knew of and she then told us that she would like to have the baptism that day! The kids were super excited to be able to finally get on a date and were interviewed yesterday! All three are set to be baptized this Saturday at 1:00 in their POND!!!!! Yep, that is right! They have gotten permission to be baptized in their pond since it is a family tradition or something like that! I am so excited for the baptism and am glad that they are finally able to make this commitment with their Heavenly Father! It was such a wonderful miracle! Oh, and the best part is that a couple weeks ago when we were doing our weekly planning, we had felt that the 23rd was the date that we needed to extend them! Coincidence....I don't think so!
 

We also had exchanges this week and saw lots of cool miracles then too! I was with Sister Mumford, she is 20 and has been out one transfer longer than I have. We had some good teaching experiences and got a new gator! His name is Mike and he was watching Heaven is For Real a couple months ago and just knew that God really is there. He grew up going to lots of churches and doesn't really like how there are so many churches that don't teach the same things. Every church has different things claiming to be true. So we taught him the restoration on his porch and had a really good lesson with him. He said that if he found out that what we are teaching him is true, that he would be baptized! We have another appointment with him tonight, we are hoping that we will be able to teach his whole family tonight too! We had a good fun day, even though Sis Mumford hit her head on a tree branch really hard....yeah...that wasn't good! But she is fine and we were still able to get stuff done!

Yesterday we had Branch Conference and a member of the Stake Presidency taught our 3rd hour lesson. It was a really good lesson. He talked about 2 different things. First he started out by sharing a cool experience he had during a study of his recently. He was reading in the Book of Mormon, Mosiah 5:7-9, and it talked about being a child of Christ. He talked about where we got our names from. Like I am a London and got my last name from my dad. He talked about how he was adopted and when he was adopted, he took on the last name of his new parents. When we follow Christ and make covenants with him, we become sons and daughters of Christ. We are adopted into his family and can better take his name upon us. It was a really cool lesson and something I had been thinking about lately. He also talked about how we can all be a part of the Hastening of the Work. There are so many ways to help in the Hastening and we all need to figure out how we can best do our part. It is Heavenly Father's work and we need to get behind him in accomplishing it. It will be so much easier if we do.

I love you all and invite you to figure out your part in the Hastening this week!

love, 

Sister London
