Halo backagen!
This week was wonderful!! Full of many wonderful lessons and the Spirit was so strong! I have a few stories i would love to share :)
Saturday was one FULL day!! Heavenly Father worked many wonders this day, as He does everyday. In the morning we had a baptism. Two young girls were baptized, not from our area but in our district. It was wonderful! My first time witnessing a "baptaes" here :) After the baptism, my comp and i decided that we would head home before coming back for the Open Haos a little later that afternoon.
We started walking home and then my comp said she wanted to check her account first. So we turn around and head to town. The system was down, so we start heading home once again. I mention that we need some eggs, so again, we turn around and go to the store for eggs. Finally, we head home for good. I go in the gate and head up the stairs to open the door to the house while my comp is locking the gate. I am waiting inside for her, but she doesn't come for about a minute. She then rushes in saying that some men stopped her and asked if we could come with them and pray for a baby that had died that morning. Anyway long story short, these men had been going around in the streets looking for someone that could pray as they buried their baby. It just so happened that we were coming home right as they were passing by! We get in a truck and pick up the baby with some more family members. We head to the grave yard and my companion offers a wonderful prayer and shares some uplifting words. My heart was absolutely broken for the family. The mother was still in the hospital, but the grandmother was sobbing over the grave. I could not handle it. But i know that this baby only had one purpose for coming to this earth. It only needed to receive a body. That baby was celestial. My comp and I were thinking about how amazing it was that Heavenly Father put us right where he needed us, so that we could go and help offer a prayer for this family. It was an incredible experience, something that i will never forget. Even though it was so sad and heartbreaking, I know that that family will see their precious baby again. Our Father has a plan and we just need to trust in that plan.
Later at the Open Haos, we received 6 NEW INVESTIGATORS!!!! We will be going to visit them all this week! What wonderful work the Lords work is!! I am so excited!! :)
I have a testimony of this gospel. I know the Lord is hastening His work! He puts us in places so that we can help His children! Oh, and this family that lost the baby are less actives. Just yesterday, half of them came to church! :) What a miracle! I love this gospel and i love being a missionary! All the good times completely surpass the challenges!! :)
We will be having 2 baptisms next Saturday! one small girl and one papa! They are some investigators we are teaching! :) They are so excited to get baptized. I am so happy for them!
Anyway, I love you all so much! I pray for you and hope all is well at home! Look for the hand of the Lord in your lives each day! You will see "fullap" blessings! :) I love and miss you!! Until next week!
Love, Sista Alfin
