Baptism

Hello!                                                                                                  October 21, 2013

Kelly's baptism was so good!! She's amazing. She texted us yesterday morning and told us not to forget the camera! Hahaha. She bore her testimony after and it was incredible. She said that when she was saying her prayers that morning she had this thought: "Your family is going to be blessed because you opened the door." She talked about how this decision will not just affect her life, but the life of her family and many others. When she said that, the spirit bore witness to my heart that it was true. I felt that she has ancestors that are waiting for their ordinances to be done and now she can do them :) Amazing. And another really cool thing, the elders had an investigator at church that accepted a baptismal date and is preparing to be baptized in two weeks because of Kelly's testimony!! Miracles are happening I can promise you that. Kelly wanted to wear a dress for her baptism and was just adorable in it!! She was beaming all day. Yesterday was definitely a highlight of my mission this far. Sister Crandall and I were drained when we got home last night! I kind of know how Ammon felt when he talks about losing his strength because of an overwhelming amount of joy and the spirit.

We met with Harriet again, but this time the Robinson's came. SENIOR MISSIONARIES ARE MIRACLE WORKERS! I promise. We've been so worried about how to help Harriet because she is reading, praying, and really anxious to learn more, but she is moving to her sister's house this week and she is super anti and won't let us in her home. The Robinson's offered to pick her up and bring her to their apartment so we could meet with her in their home. Prayers were answered with that act of charity. I'm so grateful for angels. Seen and unseen. You'll notice them everywhere when you're doing the Lord's work.

Sister Crandall and I had a really cool experience during weekly planning this week. Weekly planning can be really long sometimes and my attention span is gone after about two hours! But as we were talking about each of our investigators and planning their lessons for the week, we came to one investigator that we had no idea what he needed. We talked about it and thought about it, but it wasn't until we took it to the Lord that we received the answer. I learned a lot about revelation that day. I learned that One: We must be humble. Two: We need to have ears to hear and eyes to see. Three: The spirit is subtle. SO subtle. Four: The spirit is most delicate, yet most powerful. And that's only the beginning. I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father that waits for us to come to Him. Because when we come to Him, we show that we are willing to do what we need to do to become like Him.

I hope you all have a fantastic week! Enjoy the wonderful season of fall :)

Love and Prayers, Sister Felix
