So
I am in San Gregorio, it is part of the stake Vitarte. I was in another
part of Vitarte one year ago but in another ward.... It is like I have
served in the Ferron Stake two times, one time I was in Ferron ward, and
the other in Millsite. When I was in Portales a year ago my companion
and I started to visit a 16 year old girl named Hillary and her 35 year
old mom named Nelly. We taught them a lot. Hillary was depressed and
when I left the area she was seeing a big change and had a date.......
Later I heard she was baptized, but didn't get invited. Normal.
Last
Saturday there was a stake festival dance. And we had like 6
investigatores dancing, so we went to the last part to tell them good
job and all that. As I was talking to a few members I heard someone yell
my name. I turned and saw HIllary, and Nelly. After one year there they
were, the mom and her daughter. Active, and happy in the church. I
can't describe how I felt when I saw them and talked them them, but I
imagine it is a tiny part of how we will all feel when we return to our
Heavely father. After chatting a little bit, Nelly's two other kids, 18
and 9 years old also informed me that they were baptized.
Nelly
asked me, "Do you remember how it all started? The first time I talked
to you" I reassured her that yes I remember. What will happen to that
family I don't know.... But now I can bear solemn testimony that I know,
that a missionary can NEVER know how much good he does, and how much
fruit will come from one seed.
Yanela then got baptized on Sunday.
Her daughter hated the water and cried yelling, "Don't go in mom! Don't
go in, Why are you in white! I'm scated!!" After the baptism Yanela
walked out of the font, and her daughter had a smile on her face I will
never forget, yelling again, "I want to be baptized I want to be
baptized!".. Later that 7 year old little angel hugged Elder Andersons
leg and said, "This is for baptizing my mom"
If you want to be loved, and learn how to love. Go on a mission.
