David's Baptism

Happy Easter everyone!!

I hope you all had a great time celebrating Christ's Resurrection. I have loved being able to share the message that Christ lives and that we will all be able to return home to our loving Heavenly Father and be with our families after this life. As Sister Stevenson and I have shared this message, my testimony of Christ has been reaffirmed and strengthened. I know He lives!

This week was David's baptism!! And it was so good! Really stressful leading up to it haha, but really good. An hour before the baptism, we got a call from the brother that was supposed to baptize him saying he couldn't make it anymore. So we had to scramble to find someone who would be available in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday, talk about stress. Satan was really trying to stop it. But thankfully, an Elder from our district was able to pull through.

After David was baptized and got back into his clothes, he came out and stood in front of the congregation. Fighting back tears he said, "I've been waiting my entire life to do that. I am so grateful. I know this is the Lord's church and I feel the spirit so strongly right now." It was the most powerful and humble testimony I have ever heard. He is amazing.

Some more exciting news, Elizabeth is getting baptized!!! We had a lesson with her and asked her what her concerns were with baptism. She said nothing and that she wanted it! So we invited her to follow Christ and be baptized May 21st. She was so excited!

That's all for this week!
