Well Donielle got baptized on Saturday and was confirmed a member of the church on sunday! It was awesome. I will attach pictures of it at the end of this email. It was such an awesome experience to baptize her. It never gets old. It's amazing to have that opportunity and blessing to baptize someone! Before her baptism we asked her to write down her testimony and give it to us so we could type it up and print it out for her. We typed it up on Word and made it look really nice and then we went to Office Depot and had them print it on a nice tan piece of paper and laminate it. It looked awesome! We had it sitting on a table during her baptismal service so everyone could read it. Its a great testimony. I will copy and paste it so you can read it.
I truly believe that the Book of Mormon and the Prophets of God are real. I believe it with all my heart. I started believing in the Book of Mormon and the Prophets when I prayed to God about it, and asked him to show me a sign to tell me that it was true. He touched me with a warm feeling in my heart, and throughout my body. It was the most amazing feeling that I have ever felt in my life. I then took a huge step by reading the Book of Mormon, and praying about it throughout the day and night before I went to bed. I now live by the word of God and go to church regularly, to show my love and devotion to God and our Savior Jesus Christ, his Son. I’m also going to raise my children by the word of God, because our God is powerful, and wonderful.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
What an awesome testimony, right?
Lets see, what else happened this week. Barbara and Jessi are about the same. They still haven't gone to the court house to see about getting Barbara's divorce taken care of... So that's frustrating.
We saw Libby last night and asked her if she even wants to get baptized, and she said yes. But we talked to her about how she isn't going to be ready for baptism if she doesn't come to church. She's getting kinda lazy on us... So we were bold, but loving, with her and I think she felt Godly sorrow, which is good. Hopefully she gets some more motivation to learn about the gospel and get baptized.
Oh so this next Monday we have to take our car into the body shop because a while before I got to this area the car got backed into twice and we finally got it approved through the church to go and get the dents fixed. But that means we won't have a car for 3 days... haha good thing I got my furry hat in the mail! I'm gonna need it to stay warm while we walk around a bunch.
Oh we got a piano in our apartment now! Some Elders had it in their apartment and didn't want it so they gave it to us. Its awesome. Ill send a pic of it.
Super excited for my birthday on Friday! I got a package in the mail from Shannon that was filled with a bunch of funny stuff and a birthday card.
Thanks Shannon! Oh also I never told y'all about the potato I got in the mail from Shannon haha. Well it got chopped in half somehow during the shipping but they put both pieces in a plastic baggy with an apology note on it! So by the time it got to me in the mail it stunk really bad! But it was really funny to get!
Also dang excited for Thanksgiving. We just have 1 invite to dinner. Which is fine and im grateful for that. The Elders over in the Beattyville branch don't have any invites to dinner cuz there are only like 2 active members in their area. Its kinda sad haha. But we get the whole day off for Thanksgiving so it will be nice to just relax and do fun stuff.
I love you all! Thanks for being such awesome family members and friends!
