Hola familia y amigos!
Ju...e finally got baptized!!
WAHOO!! She went to Dr. Pi.....n over a month ago (2 months?) for drinking and
she was successful with that, but she put off quitting smoking up until 2 weeks
ago, and even for a week after going to Pi.....n she still smoked a cigarette
or two every day (which is a miracle after what she was doing before, but
still!). Anyways, she finally quit and got baptized on Saturday!! I was so
excited! It has been a long, hard road for her but the Lord has blessed her so
much. She asked me to give the talk on baptism, so I got to go and see her be
baptized. It was really neat :) A long time ago (in December?) I had made her
promise me that she would get baptized before I left, and I had forgotten about
that--but I guess she hadn't because when I went up to congratulate her after
the baptism, she mentioned that to me. The Lord works through small and simple
things!
More updates on Leeds
investigators--Ju....l is getting baptized this weekend!! I can't believe that
one either! His wife thought it wouldn't ever happen, but have miracles ceased?
I say unto you, Nay! Also, S....e got a letter back from the First Presidency
saying that he can get baptized!! He had an interview with President Ce...r
again yesterday, and everything looks good for the week after next! And Jo...
will be baptized the week after that!
I wish that my area now was
exploding like Leeds is, but we are on the "building up" stage.
That's alright though--I feel like that has been the story of my mission, but I
have been blessed to stay close enough that I can go back and see the people I
have taught get baptized. Tender mercy :) They don't count for my numbers, but
they count for the Lord.
I just love, love, love being a
missionary! I am so grateful that Conference is coming up this weekend. What an
amazing way to finish my mission, getting spiritual insights for my post
mission life through the words of men that I sustain as prophets, seers and
revelators.
I hope that everyone is doing well! I love you all!
Love,Sister Burner
