This next Saturday a man we have been working with will be getting baptized. We are so happy for him and what's cool is that originally he thought he'd be going to Venezuela to be baptized but plans changed and he decided to be baptized here. Honestly, I was going to be happy either way cause he was getting baptized, but my companion and I are super excited for him to be baptized here. He is someone who has really shown his desire to be baptized by keeping commitments, coming to church every Sunday for the past couple months, and he has sacrificed sleep to meet with us. He has a truck driving job and so it's kinda crazy hours and sometimes he won't get back til 5 or 6 pm and he gets up at like midnight, yet he will meet with us usually around 6 or 7pm. He almost always looks exhausted but he meets with us and comes to church because he knows what's important, where his loyalty is- to the Lord. He truly is incredible.
We are also teaching a few other people that are preparing for baptism with in this month and they all have such unique needs and stories but I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ has and will help each of them and everyone else who chooses to live it. I've learned understanding comes over time and most often through experiences in which one has had to act with out knowing, the witness comes after the trial of your faith.
Well I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Love,
Hermana Brighton
