AND... Best of all.... I am happy to say that we had a baptism and Sister Virginia is now baptized! She has been taught for years and her son even talked to us and he is an RM from Mendenow and he thanked us and was crying about how happy he is that she really is finally joining the church and he said that has been his biggest dream for his family to be together forever. It really showed me that we are helping a family on the way to being together forever. At the baptism, she bore her testimony and we could see her testimony and that she truly is grateful now to be a member. :)
We also just extended Herbert an IBD for April 5! And he accepted it and even prayed about it in the lesson with us and he felt that it was right. He told us that he will work hard and give up the Word of Wisdom and this time he will really become ready to be baptized. It was a very good lesson and I felt that this transfer Sister Chancellor and I can really help him progress and be baptized! But on the otherhand, Melvic- our IBD he had to work on Sunday all day for the past 2 sundays and was really sad yesterday when we visited him and told us he really wants to be baptized but doesnt know what to do... AH! We'll keep working with him, its just hard cause his boss is an active member and is being a stumbling block for him to be baptized! But I know through prayer and fasting he will be baptized in Heavenly Fathers time! :)
I am so happy to still be here in Carmen and see this area become golden and progress and to be priveleged to help hasten the work here! I love the people and am even going to get over my pride and start learning Illocano another dialect here so that I can connect with more of the members and people here. I love yall and thank you all so much for the support you have given me! Youre all in my prayers! Till next week :)
